    honestly it still feels a bit wrong that we don’t reach 90%, even my grandma could understand and probably stammer out the odd sentence if she had to, and everyone is exposed to english all the time.

      I could imagine immigrant communities being a factor as well. I think there’s a wide range of English proficiency among people who are born abroad (at least that’s my impression from speaking to people studying Swedish). Given that we have a bit more immigration than Norway, that could definitely be a deciding factor.

      (Maybe I’m just grasping at straws. Don’t wanna be losing to Norway, right?)
