I've studied Swedish several years in school but my Swedish is not even near my English skills. I may have had a little attitude problem with that language back then. I've also studied a little bit of Russian, and German too. I can't really say I could speak those languages though. If you're a Finn you have to get used to the fact that you have to study foreign languages since almost nobody wants to study Finnish. But it is completely understandable, I wouldn't want to study Finnish either :D
Wow, Japanese! Now there's a hard language to learn, especially the letters or whatever they are called.
