This is pretty much only true in Sweden, where self-loathing has become a religion and people will take any chance they get to speak English for a chance to be complimented on how good their English is. In the rest of Scandinavia, and also the Netherlands, where people also speak great English, people will continue to speak their native language if that is how you attempt to engage them.

Also well done picking the gayest of three mutually intelligible languages dumbass

It's impossible to learn a Scandinavian language when visiting, but once you move there people will get bored of the novelty of speaking English and will just ignore you and start speaking their native language while you look at everyone with a polite smile assuming that everyone in Scandinavia really likes English people.

Then you learn it and realize that everyone loving hates dumbass monolingual British / American retards and just spend their entire time mocking them and calling them faggots in viking.

Also the best thing about the scandinavian languages are that there are so many retarded dialects that you don't even need to become 100% fluent because people will just assume that your weird grammatical gently caress-ups and confusing nonsense words are because you're a farmer or a mountain person or something unless you are completely tone deaf and keep your English accent.

English and Welsh. Actually quite a useful language to speak where I live (rural Wales). Completely unneccessary in any of the population centres, though.

I learned one welsh word when I got stopped for driving in a bus lane, and that word is BWS.
