"Immigrants Learning Swedish over Finnish Run into Problems"

“Some have been really frustrated—even angry. They didn’t know that Swedish wasn’t enough to get by on,”
"Many immigrants moving to the capital region from Ostrobothnia, a region with a Swedish-speaking majority, say they feel cheated. According to them, they were kept in the dark about the fact that Swedish-language skills would not suffice for launching a career in Helsinki—or anywhere else in Finland."

Ullatus. Oon törmänny työpaikalla muutamaan tällaiseen tapaukseen. Opiskelivat kaikki tauot lennosta suomea Suomi-Englanti+Ruotsi-Englanti -sanakirjacomboilla ja kirosivat hartaina sitä päivää kun avasivat ruotsinkielisen aapisen vastaanottokeskuksessa. Ja nyt asutaan sentään Vaasassa, eikä se enää täälläkään se pelkkä ruotsi riitä.
No jutun tyypillä oli suunnitelmana lähteä Norjaan tai Ruotsiin. Pitää itsekin opiskella norjaa. Sen verran paremmin siellä menee.
Tyttöystäväni ei joutunut opiskelemaan olleenkaan Ruotsia. Koulussa sai valita Suomen tai Englannin.

Why is this in English even on the Finnish official news site! It should be in Swedish because Swedish is the official language in the whole Finland, Finnish would be sufficient as well but we all should speak Swedish fluently so that would be my number 1 choice for a news article!
That is ridiciluous that Finnish people don't even know an official language in their own country, everyone should speak Swedish at least at an adequate level for most everyday situations including their own profession.
It is not immigrants' problem that Finnish people are that lazy and don't show any respect for people who speak Swedish. As long as the Swedish language have an important role in Finland, every Finn should speak it with no excuses.

Ainahan voi lähteä Ruotsiin.
