Finland does not dub TV-shows or movies so we have always seen the original versions. That has helped us learn english so easily. Hearing it daily on TV even before school age is a great help. Nowadays with internet, even easier.
we do learn English in schools in Finland, but it is not necessary the first option as we have also Swedish which is the second official language in Finland. So, some kids starts learning English around the age 7 and if it is you third or fourth language it is around the ages 9-12.
Usually finnish children start to learn english at the age of seven at the first grade and swedish at the 6. So english skils are far more stronger and better than swedish. It’s really stupid and unnecessary that we have swedish as a second language. Stupid old relic. Finnish people very seldom speak it.
Michelle sells seahells by the seashore. Are you sure she sells seashells by the seashore? Yes, I'm sure, Michelle, she sells sea shells by the seashore.. The lilly lollies landed in the lelly lully land. The lelly lullies lulled the lilly lollies until they lilled and lolled along.
We learn English in Finland starting from third grade (when I was in school), nowadays even earlier. My nieces started to learn English already in day care by singing English children songs. But of course we learn the "official" language without all the small twists and turns used in spoken language. Watching TV shows and movies spoken in English, listening music in English and of course internet, helps us to pick up some of that stuff. But it is not the same than using language every day with native speakers.
I'm guessing that Ismo is exaggerating his ability to (non-)pronounce the "sh" vs non-"sh". That sentence isn't that hard for a finn to pronounce, it's way harder for us to say it vs a native speaker, but it's by not any means the hardest thing. Something like 20%-60% harder than for a native speaker. Mostly that SH-sound and then a non SH-sound is being able to have your tongue go from front to the back. In my opinion the hardest words are the professions, most of them end with an -er. It's almost like if you guys pronounce them "writah", and to my mind there's the "-er" ending. Although I think I can "mostly" use the "-ah" ending, but intoxication and just getting of guard might reverse that.

The point is that in Finnish there is only one s sound👌no sh or other complications. All letters have just one pronunciation except pairs nk and ng which are the same as in English since there is no letter representing that phoneme. 🤔👍 And the stress is always on the first syllable. Common mistake of foreigners is the capital of Finland: it’s HELsinki👌, not HelSINki😖

This is actually one of my least favorite videos from him.
Would you share some of his best?
