Personal comments
my fluency in English..deteriorated a bit since all internationals spoke s.c. Erasmus English. at the other side, i've learnt to write serious essays in English. Finnish: trying to study Finnish made me feel more comfortable, as i was in Finland. nontheless, it did not help me much to be able to communicate w/ locals in their native language. All in all, i'm very happy i had a chance to learn a bit of that not so often heard language.
