With english you can communicate easlily with all the students and outside student life. Finnish language is difficult to learn so after completing the course you still don't know that much.

Finnish people do speak very good English. Several courses are in English. There is a good possibility to learn English. Finnish is quite much hard, and difficult to learn in just few months.

It was very nice to learn Finnish and I had very great time during this class. Also it was very interesting. About English for the first period it was quite hard but after 2 weeks I was totally confidential with the languages.
