      All Swedes are basically fluent in English already and there’s no point keeping tiny little language around in a global world.

      My kids (9 and 12) speak English more than Swedish since all content they consume is in English anyway.

        “All Swedes are basically fluent in English already and there’s no point keeping tiny little language around in a global world.”

        I find this perspective interesting, because to me, this same justification would make me less inclined to support kids learning Swedish (if I were Swedish). This is a purely abstract question for me though, as I am English, and salty that I didn’t get a chance to learn a foreign language in school.
