Two languages

This card is going to The Netherlands.
Pori is Björneborg in Swedish and "Terveiset" means "Greetings" ("Hälsningar" is the same in Swedish).
Finland has two native languages. That means everyone has to learn both of them in school, but most people don't speak Swedish so well (me included). Some cities in the coast operate mostly in Swedish. I guess Poris language used to be Swedish many years ago, but now we only use Finnish.
