I participated in a basic course for Finnish for foreigners and it was funny. At least, I could speak a little bit after this course. I had no problems with English, as it is well spoken almost everywhere in Finland and my knowledge is good.

Personal comments
A nice night spot was "Parkki" which is a place where all parties of the Turun Kauppakorkeakoulu take place. There were also other nice spots like "the old school" and "the old bank". Blanko is a popular spot as well.
Events not to be missed are these "little Xmas parties".
