Negotiation parts: When I finished high school, I was fluent in Swedish and English, and could hold a very basic conversation in French and Spanish - just enough to order at a restaurant or greet someone properly. Some learn more, of course, but I wouldn't say the average Swede does. Now that I think about it I know a few Swedes that speak only Swedish and almost no English. I've never met a finnish person that spoke less than three languages well. With that said, even compared to England Americans don't have a high standard for language. There are very few Swedes that aren't from way out in the country of my generation who aren't conversational in english, though a lot of us speak with an accent, and get a bit self-conscious when we have to speak a lot. I'm from America and whenever I go to Europe I have to convince people that they speak well. In America we are used to speaking to people that speak English as a second language and at least here in California it is rare for people to correct others for poor pronunciation.
