At the beginning it was quite difficult because i had never been abroad and spoke in english with other people so i was not used to do it, but little by little it is becoming easier and also people here have been a great help for me to learn.

I realized english is a glodal language. I could communicate with any student of any nationality, make a lot of friends, and understand any concept of any subject.

I had no problems in English,and it was fine for me. If you do have some, be careful if you end up in courses where they ask you to write 15 pages essays!

In Finland almost everybody speaks english, so it is not a problem at all to communicate with the people. But it is still good and interesting to learn at least basic phrases in the local language.
