Ah it's pretty much a mix, it's made for immigrants so they teach us a lot of practical stuff in addition to the grammar! The other day we had to practice talking on the telephone, it was terrible lol.
OMG to write in Norweigan is ambitious, good luck! I do think since it's germanic at least it's closer to enlish in some ways though. Finnish is nothing like english a lot of the time lol, it can be so complicated. My writing is always full of spelling mistakes still, it's taken a lot to adjust!
Yeah we were really underwhelmed, though I loved Georgia, Latvia and Serbia! I'm glad at least something halfway decent won, Sweden's stadium in Malmö hasn't even cooled off lol.
Mmm Finland has plenty of hosers trust me, they are a world phenomenon.
Ugggh Iceland I'm so jealous!!!! I've only been to Sweden so far to visit friends in Malmö, which is lovely by the way. If you fly in to Copenhagen you can take like a 15 minute train ride across the water to Malmö! You can hit up the city of Copenhagen first too, it's a great way to get 2 countries in one easy! Malmö is really pretty too, like a cute fairytale village in some parts. :) But I'm so happy you're getting to travel!!
So far in Finland I've been to Tampere (nice place, def worth a visit) and Helsinki quite a few times and I've also been further up North in the country where my gf's family lives. They're really nice to me, which makes me happy. And their house is so pretty! It's right on the river and they have a wood burning sauna and a fireplace and aah it was so lovely at Christmas... ;; Yesterday was Midsummer's Eve (as you might know already idk) so we went walking around the woods here. I really love Finnish nature a lot, it's so lush and green right now and everything looks like a storybook. So happy Juhannus/Midsummer Yuu!
I also really want to visit my Portugese friends too, and honestly if Russia wasn't so...possibly questionable for obvious reasons right now I'd want to visit St. Petersburg, it's only like a 3 hour train ride from us. And I want to take the boat to Estonia too! My British classmate visited Tallinn and tooks some pictures and man it really is so gorgeous. I'd like to visit Germany again too. And Iceland! One of my gf's classmates spend a semester in Iceland just now and I was super jealous, I think he missed home a lot tho haha. Ugh I just wanna go everywhere! I really like taking Finnish with the other immigrants because we're all from a lot of assorted countries, so I like hearing from them about where they lived and how they find Finland and about their culture...it's so nice to learn those things firsthand from others. Like I said man it's so weird I ended up here but at the same time I'm so happy every day to get up and learn more. It's a lot of fun right now!
