(I mean, at least in the Metropolitan area) Earlier I waited in line at a shop in Helsinki and behind me was a large group of schoolkids, all various people of colour and all speaking American English with each other. It’s a fairly common occurrence in Eastern Helsinki and makes you feel like you’re in the US or Canada
It’s interesting how quick things have developed just since I was a kid
I think it’s cool but it seems to cause Finnish boomers enormous existential anxiety of the Great Replacement variety
Learning English is cool, I just don’t want it to displace people’s own native languages. Here in the Netherlands I’ve seen groups of friends speaking to each other only in English, probably they’re so terminally online and consuming only English media that English begins to sound more natural to them.
