I recon you don't travel a lot. ... Even in norway and sweden, many people, (i would recon like 50/50)

???? I can assure you I have traveled a lot in Europe (Paris/Madrid/Stockholm/Trondheim/Oslo/Amsterdam/Budapest/Prague ... just out of my head)

And the only countries where I had to ask more than 2 people to find someone who understands English was Spain (NOBODY speaks English in Spain)

I mean I would have understood it if you would have said France where people sometimes pretend that they do not understand English (yes they are a bit annoying but pretty cool if you get to know them) but Scandinavia?

I was in Stockholm a couple months ago and EVERYONE speaks English there. I mean come on most TV channels were in English often even without subtitles. So I do not know where you have been in Sweden but I cannot support your statement.

We swedes start learing english in 3rd grade, 90% of everything on Tv is in English, I have seen maybe 3 games that have been translated to swedish.

 

The only people I can think of not being so good in english is 60+ old people and majority of the immigrants coming here.
