Me keep low profile.

Yeah sure, lets text it :) I personally love to speak english. I speak and write it every single day even though I am pure finn. I always felt like it's more easier to explain my feelings and thoughts in this language than my native one. Finnish language seems so rough and if we take it in consideration that our culture is not socially that "open", example saying "I love you" in finnish feels weird. In english it feels easier...not that I wouldnt say that in my own language if I feel like it. :) I do know I have some grammar mistakes, probably even now. Then again I type it the way I say it too so hehe

You should read more in Finnish. Maybe you'll discover what a layered, beautiful language Finnish actually is. I find it sad how many native Finns seem to be completely lost when it comes to their own native language, grammarwise. And let's not even talk about compound words.

Anyway, I too like speaking English, and it's important to remember that for us, non-native speakers, it's not all about grammar and correct pronounciation. It's about getting understood and maybe even meeting some new, interesting people. Kudos to you, OP, for starting this thread. :)

Ou, I miss my thou,

Island, island, grassy island, grassy island's pride.

And same in swedish: ö, ö, hö ö, hö ös mö.

Well indeed the best way to learn a language is to use it! Every single day. If you want to learn to speak, you must speak. If you want to learn to write, you must write. And so on :).

I am in fact a Finn living abroad since 2002. For years now I have worked almost exclusively in English, so I am always looking for opportunities to stay in touch with the Finnish language. And that is how I ended up on this forum - however I am not sure that was a good idea. All kinds of crazy people seem to hang out here... including myself :D.

OK guys, here's an English lesson for you. It's really funny, not least because of the Finnish accent.
