Personal comments

Most Finnish people have Finnish as their second language so communication was OK, just a little lack of confidence from some people, I guess they dont get the opportunity to speak to many English people over in Hameenlinna.

everyone in Finland speaks English of some sort, so with a mix of basic Finnish and English you can get around really easily! Kiitos!
