I know it's a joke about Americans not speaking a second language, but they aren't too bad at it. They land at about 23% and seeing how the EU average is 25% that's rather good. https://www.americathebilingual.com/the-surprising-truth-about-american-bilingualism-what-the-data-tells-us/

Yet overall, only about 60% of Swedes use a second language every day.

So not at all a second language, but people using a second language every day...

Bet 90%+ of adult swedes speak at least 2 languages... I have never met an adult swede not being at least quite okay with the language of shakespeare, and I'm swedish & grew up there.
