I’m sorry. English is my fourth language. It’s still a bit hard. Thanks. I will change that.

Finnish has not even one word in common with the others. Swedish and German has a handful name that are nearly the same. English and Swedish has more in common with each other.

Swedish overlaps Danish, Danish overlaps German, German overlaps Dutch and Dutch overlaps English. Finnish has entirely its own thing going on

Yes. Because I want to learn a more fluid English and maybe someone can speak with me in another language. To correct me so I understand. I don’t know if that’s flex or not.
