Ñow i can speak english without any problem. In the begguning i was afraid of speaking english but then it was very easy. All the international students are in the same situation (except the ones from england and USA) and we can understand each other perfectly.

Almost every Finn you will meet will speak at least some Finnish. A lot speak even very good English. But it is of course it is always polite to at least try to speak some phrases in Finnish. The reactions will be usually very positive.

It is arranged by TOAS, a government based office. It is really good, you receive a lot of help and the housing is very well conditioned. I couldn´t find a better place!
