It’s been a very hard year
Do you count Finland? I heard that Finnish is very hard to learn.

Finnish people are probably nice when people try to learn their language. Hahaha. Can't say that about the other places.

Most Scandinavians would rather speak English than listen to a foreigner try to speak their language.

Strictly speaking, Finland is nordic, not scandinavian. And their language is entirely different. I was under the impression Fins and Estonians are happy when people try to learn. Am I wrong?
