Well yeah...from February 2012 to January 2013 I attended a Finnish Course in a private finnish school.
It was nice! I met a lot of new friends form other Countries and...I learnt "suomi"! Now I'm able to understand, read, write and talk in finnish...but of course in a very basic level. Finnish language it's very difficult to study and learn, because it haven't any similarity with the other languages. Some Estonian people say that they find Finnish similar to Estonian, but I think they refer to the similar sound of some words. The grammatical structure and the conceptual construction of the sentences, turn Finnish language in one of the most difficult language ever.
Personally, I found Finnish very similar - in a way - to the Latin. And it could be a correct intuition since Mikael Agricola, the "inventor" of the Finnish language, was a theologian, so then very close to the "international church language" which, at the time, was the Latin indeed.
Hystorical notions at side, it was really hard but I can feel satisfied at the end of my studies and proud of my score. B1.1 level. The highest possible, because the final score for this school is A2.2.
Teachers told me that, at the end of this kind of course, that it lasts 11 month, only few students from all the courses in that school go out with the B1.1. Onnea minulle!
How I said, I met nice people in this course. Some of them are my friends now. They come from China, Nepal, Philippines Islands, Greece, Vietnam, Ghana, Egypt, Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Estonia, Kosovo.
Nice people with high level Education who left their own Countries (and families) trying to find a better life here in Finland.
Good luck dear friends!
