Personal comments
finns doesnt mind speaking english with you and they do speak very well like all scadic country. BUT, you must have to Talk with the school whether they would like to speak english in class. othewise, see how to figure it out..because i was a final year study in my school, my exchange experience was more important than knowing everything in class...there were some of the class, lecture couldnt really speak english..so, my schoolmate translated into summary to me after a while of the lecture.
