There's no dubbing north of Germany, and most Norwegians, Danes and Swedes talks a decent english, but there's still a strong "anti-EU" sentiment. I'm personally more of a fan of a Kalmar Union, but if we can't have that, I'd rather suffer the EU than have renewed distrust across borders.


I see you didn't say Finland; I noticed in Finland English is not very good. They have dubbing?


No dubbing in Finland. I don't think English in Finland is any worse than in aforementioned Scandinavian countries, considering that quality of teaching is equal if not better. Of course, if someone simply just doesn't bother learning the language in school, it's probably much harder to pick it up later on by Finns due to completely differing native language.


Finnish isn't an Indo-European language so learning English is a bigger step for Finns.


I lived in Finland for a year 10 years ago, and my experience is the exact opposite.

They have a funny accent though.
