Thanks everybody.

Darwinian, if you have any questions concerning Finnish language just send me a PM, I'll be happy to help if I can. I can see how it can be difficult to learn Finnish. I've attended Swedish schools all my life, as I am a member of the Swedish speaking minority, and I've seen the trouble my friends have with learning Finnish and it must be even worse when you come from a language that doesn't include all the vowels that are used in the Finnish language. Everybody in my family speaks Swedish, Finnish and, to a varying degree, English. So I've been very lucky when it comes to languages. Learning words isn't going to be the biggest issue (though it is quite big when your mother tongue is from a completely different family of languages), it's the grammar that's going to cause quite a bit of headache when you try to wrap your head around it (especially when conjugating verbs in Finnish). It's like with learning Japanese and you try to get familiar with for example the sentence structure.

Sorry if I'm rambling.
