The language of the host country (Finland) is soumi and I must say that this is the most difficult language of the EU, The problem is that most od the people here dont understand english clearly and one can have a lot of problems while getting some information about some social things. As for as the academic area is concerned, the language of instruction of most of the courses is soumi, however there are few courses including mine that are being taught in english so I didn't face any problem so far in my academic activities, all teachers are well versed with this language and most of them have international post-graduate degrees.
