    I started learning Finnish to write lyrics for heavy metal songwriting using harsh vocals. Finnish has a musical element that makes growling sound angelic. But the language is really growing on me and I'm going to learn more so I can read the Kalevala in Finnish. Great videos great personality

    As a Franska... I have been studying, practising English for almost 20 years, and I think English is very hard. No logic in the pruniunciation. Look at the "the" sound. Where does this sound come from? After all these years practising I still cannot fathom it when someone speaks English!! With Finnish seems really easier with many sounds apparently less/ unused (ch, f). I would definitely vote for Finish to be the number 1 worldwide language!!! Love Finnish :) :)

    Hello,
    I have read the Kalevala and my favourite part was about Ilmarinen, the first smith (I collect Finnish puukkos). I hope you have a great time in Oz. Watch out for that demon sun lol. Too much and it will destroy that fantastic complexion you have. I personally would rather be in Rovaniemi (I hate the heat). Oh, and don't eat the Vegemite! It is disgusting sludge made out of the remains in the bottom of the vat where beer is brewed. Think of it as Guinness porridge. Same stuff called Marmite in the UK. Cheers, Steve

    A friend of mine learned Finnish, and he asked a Finnish friend if he had an English accent when he spoke Finnish. His friend said 'How would I know? I've never met any other foreigners who speak Finnish'; i.e. he was saying he hadn't learned to distinguish between various foreign accents in Finnish because he hadn't heard them, unlike how English speakers have heard Germans, French, Italian, Russian, etc., people speaking English many, many times and can tell the difference. I don't know if this is less true now, but that's the only non-Finn I've met in my life who spoke Finnish, including someone else I know who has a Finnish wife. And by the way, you really do sound Irish when you speak, and more southern Irish, Dublin perhaps. I thought that with the previous video I watched. I wonder if that's just a coincidence of a Finnish accent influencing an English (more likely American, in fact). I'd have imagined if I met you somewhere that you'd lived in Ireland for a while, or had an Irish husband or something. I knew a German girl who spoke with a hint of Irish, but she had an Irish boyfriend. I know a Russian who does the same (he even says 'eejit', in place of 'idiot'), but he has an Irish wife. Maybe you've watched the box set of 'Father Ted' a hundred times?

They seem so slow and careless but always manage to escape your hands each time you think you're about to catch it. Darn! One time I made the mistake of hanging my clothes close to a hen cabin, the next morning I smelled like guano because I had nothing else to wear. Darn!
