How to cope with English being dominant

As we all know, English is the lingua franca of the planet, so pretty much everyone in the world has at least some knowledge of it. This has really demotivated me to keep up on my TLs. For example, I really want to learn Swedish, but pretty much everyone in Sweden knows English, so what's the point in learning it? Or if I go to France and try to practice my French only for the locals to realize I'm not native and immediately switch to English. Not to mention, most media are in English nowadays, so I'm really struggling to find something to enjoy in my TL. How do I work my way around all this?
