Yeah I go to school every day for several hours! And then I speak it at the post office and grocery store and everywhere else too, I only really use english when I'm with friends but not with cashiers and stuff. It really throws them off because sometimes they hear us speaking english so the waitress or cashier will think they have to ask me stuff in english and i'm like 'oh oh haha voit puhua suomea! mä ymmärrän suomea!!' (you can speak finnish, i understand finnish!) but i'm getting pretty good, i can understand a good bit of like, moomin cartoons and stuff now. like i might not know some vocabulary but i know the general idea and i understand the grammar/structure!
there's such a thing as writing too much??? no go go yuu, you can do it! finish all the fics! honestly my speaking is understandable but still full of mistakes sometimes haha. reading i'm good at too usually, it's writing and understanding that are hardest. writing is like, my spelling is still horrid )': hearing is hard because sometimes i understand what they mean but i'm unsure if i heard right, or i hear wrong and miss an important word that changes the context of something. and then there are people who babble on and i can't catch anything so i just smile and nod lmao......(i need to sharpen myself, i'm getting a lot better but i'm going to try to take the kansalaisuus test in april because school will pay the exam fee that way. i can't turn in the results if i pass yet, but once i've been here for 4 years that passing test grade will be the 'admit 1 for dual citizenship'!! ;) but you need at least 1 form of communication to people and one of understanding, i.e. if you can listen and write or read and speak well, that's good, but if you can only listen and read or write and speak, you fail because those don't work as both-way communication. )
and yeah lol my parents will be getting new years cards probably...whoopsies! they won't mind though, i'll skype with them on xmas anyway. (after i take my turn in xmas sauna, of course.)
