Finland has three languages, but not many speak Sámi (Laplanders). Also, it is interesting that there is far more proficiency in English than in Swedish. About 6% are "Swedish speakers", but nearly all of them Speak Finnish a lot of the time and, they all speak English.
For a non-native in Finland, learning Swedish might be the somewhat easier route than proficiency in Finnish, except maybe for Estonians.
For an English (Or Germanic language) background, for sure! I used to read the Swedish when I first came here, as it made far more sense. Now I am okay enough to read basics in Finnish and get the gist of most stuff. Speaking and listening I struggle with.
Since the stroke, it is incredibly hard, because no pictures form as people speak, so I have to take each word, translate, create an image, insert it into the sentence, then analyze for context. It is impossible on the fly.
I better stay employed.
