Finnish people often have a very heavy accent because they have a non germanic language.


Elisabeth Rehn is a Swedish-speaking Finn (just like everyone's favorite kernel and DVCS creator). One person in the YouTube comments stated that her Finnish is not much better than her English.


As a Finnish-speaking Finn I'd say that one person was exaggerating a bit. Yes, you can hear her first language is Swedish, but it's not that bad.
