      Finnish people are quite apprehensive about speaking it if they haven't practiced much, but he's had 2 full weeks of ONLY speaking English. It's also not the most difficult language and you can understand it quite well, even if you don't speak it.

    • @SorbusAucubaria
      @SorbusAucubaria Год назад +27

      I feel I am fairly good in English, when it comes to reading or writing, but if I had to suddenly speak English I would suck so much. I think pronouncing English is as hard for us as pronouncing Finnish is for English speakers. For example I don't think Spanish or Swedish is that hard to pronounce as English is. And it is not just the pronunciation, you need to change your way of thinking in a way to get your speech flowing because the grammar is so different. But I think that after two weeks of using English I think it would become lot easier.

Look for example at the effects of poverty and disability rights. Iirc both Gallup's World Happiness Report (and probably its other publications) and Our World In Data show well how both those and corruption and other related things affect wellbeing on national levels.
