Always informative video👍👍 i start learning finnish on yt channel finnishwithanna amazing channel with great content of learning, 😇😇
Kiitos!
Just a hint for everybody trying to learn Finnish: start learning the grammar first. Otherwise it’s hard to find anything in the dictionary. And the best idea is to buy a grammar book.
Greetings from a beginner who was a bit lost in the beginning of learning this language.
This is a very interesting approach because I would advice the complete opposite 😅. Not saying that you are wrong but I would just suggest people to start with vocabulary and learning day-to-day phrases mostly because the grammar can be pretty difficult → Its really nice to hear how to actually approach this from someone who is at that beginner stage because obviously you have a more realistic idea of what it takes to learn the language from scratch.
OliverR maybe that’s because I like patterns. I’m a bit lazy with learning by hard. A lot changed for me after I understood the vowel harmonics, consonant changes and the difference between partitive and nominative.
For example my book wants me to learn “ymmärtää” and “en ymmärrä” as separate vocabs. And yeah I mean that’s basically the same word. And with knowing how to change words and detecting the word endings it’s definitely easier to find anything in a dictionary. 😅
But you’re right, in the very beginning like the first week or so you should learn easy words and some easy and regular phrases.
Maybe the way to approach learning Finnish is influenced by the background of people. I think the Finnish grammar is a logical system. So it’s a bit like learning a computer science language. If xy is the case you need to use a certain word ending or you need to change a consonant.
@@nadinebest8481 Thats a really interesting perspective and I do agree with you in that it does depend on the background of each learner. Really shows how differently we all learn new information 👍.
Hello Nadine, which book did you buy the grammar book and what's its name please?
@@pearlginger7080 hey :) unfortunately I have to tell you that the book is in German. It is called “Grammatik der finnischen Sprache” from Eva Buchholz. Im not sure if that helps you :) but good luck with learning Finnish
i have the unique problem of having my family in finland and being raised by my finnish dad in the US but wasn't raised bilingual. most people in my family there, like my mummo and vaari don't speak english at all. im now 26 and am trying to go headfirst into gaining fluency just to finally be able to talk with them and socialize in rural finland where i plan on moving. plan on relocating by 30. 2020 definitely giving me enough time to study ;o; thanks for all the free resources!
Oh that is such an interesting situation that you have 🤔. Have you ever considered about doing a degree in finland after you move here? I take that you have a double citizenship? That would allow you to do a university degree in finland without any tuition fees. One of the benefits would also be that you would get access to the finnish language courses held by the universities. They are, naturally, the best education that you can have and would go a long way in getting you fluent.
Since you are considering moving to finland, i would recommend that you consider joining our Discord server. The idea is to build a community of people interested in building their careers in finland and in the server i post updates about my upcoming videos and live streams and i answer peoples most frequently asked questions. If you are interested, you can join the server using this link: discord.gg/Sj5UdMT
Also also, since you are going to need to find a job in Finland, i would really recommend that you try out a job hunting app called MeetFrank. Its a really awesome tool for any international job seekers because it will tell you how much money you could actually earn in your field in Finland if you were to apply for a job right now with your personal background and experience. These guys have been supporting my channel as a sponsor and id really appreciate if you guys wanted to try it out. Each download supports the channel and helps me make more consistent content for you. The app is 100% free of charge and does not require you to share any of your personal information so its super safe to test.
If you want to try it out, you can download the app for iOS or Android here: meetfrank.onelink.me/nwaQ/downloadFI
@@RoadtoFinnishSuper useful coment! I'm not Finland myself but I would like to start my career there. I have a major on biotechnology so definitely I would try the app. I want to gain some experience before grad school
Thank you Oliver for this very informative and helpful video!
This is extremely helpful! And that is putting it mildly. I have been scouring around for a few weeks now but I had not managed to stumble upon any of these recommended resources. I am now enrolled in the Aalto University course!
thanks so much for this video. i have been interested in finnish for a while now!
Thank you for the clear explanation.
Thank you so much for the tips! That's much appreciated!
You are so welcome! Im glad it was helpful 👍
Finally a good peace of content that actually helps!
Thank you Oliver! This is the first comment on this channel in which I am committing myself to learning Finnish to a fluent level. Thank you so much for creating, releasing and providing this content to the public and I look forward to watching every single video of yours. I am an advocate of saunas and want to visit Finland to experience such wonders. Thank you again and hope to one day speak Fluent Finnish with you.
Kiitos

Hey Chris and thanks so much for the positive feedback and for sharing this journey 👊. This is an interesting challenge and id love to follow your journey as you go through it step-by-step.
Thanks for your helpful video, I'm slowly working my way through all of your recommendations. I completed 23 units of duolingo, I've just completed the Aalto courses (Introductory and Finnish grammar). The AAlto course is great, lots of details on the structure of sentences and various forms of words, but lots of other resources are needed to really understand and use the info they are teaching. Going back to Duo, I am now realising exactly what I'm saying and why it is structured as it is. I've downloaded suomipassi to my phone, and I'll work through the Venla course at home on my pc. Hopefully when I comment next I'll be able to express what I mean in finnish!
Thank you!!! It was really helpful
Excellent, im happy to hear that!
Kiitos!! Really helpful 🖤
Youre most welcome!
Thanks for the video Oliverr, it came in the perfect time, I will take your video suggestions as a start!
Sound excellent!
American here with some advice to foreigners about Finnish language.
You're not going to master or even have a good handle on the Finnish language after a year, or even two or three, I don't care how many apps you use or courses you attend. Finnish language for foreigners is mostly a tool or extra bonus, makes life easier and more enjoyable.But you can't compete against a Finn in the job market without previously learned special skills or education that can be accredited, not education you will get in Finland with other Finns. They don't need you for that, a Finn will get the job over you, they are a native and can speak Finnish better than you could in your wildest dreams and understand the culture, which is a big thing, they also know English at a high level.
Most foreigners are working in the service industry, modest jobs, restaurants, cleaning, driving, these can require moderate language skills but not always. If you've got some mad skills in IT or you're a highly special skilled worker, that is especially in demand in Finland, then you might get a sweet deal. Other than that, without previous skills or education, don't just look at things on paper and think that's all it is. You might get a job in your field, but you also might not, not even Finns always can.
The education system in Finland however, is very good, highly educated and qualified teachers, you can get an education and then move on somewhere else. I would therefore recommend studying. University culture is a bubble with lots of other foreigners, so you'll have a chance to mingle with some Finns although likely end up with mostly foreign friends from other countries or a mixed group.
Great relaxing summers, very safe, even at 3 am in the morning, so your mommy won't worry have to worry about you, good public transportation, beautiful women (I hear the guys are handsome too) so I'm pretty sure you would enjoy yourself. Finland works well as a country, good public transport, it's very organized, although understanding the way things work at first can be stressful, but if you are a student you'll have guidance.
Excellent insight into your experiences, thanks so much for sharing 👍. I do agree with most of what you said but I have to say that I disagree a bit with the job opportunities. This would of course depend on the context, the individual, his/her education, the market situation and countless other factors that cant be taken into account. Where I would disagree is the thing that you said about foreigners not getting employed based on their education that they received in Finland. While this might hold true to some fields, there are countless job opportunities that do not require you to know a word of Finnish. The majority of these jobs are for university grads where the job itself requires a high skill set that is generally in demand on the market. IT is its own story entirely and being even modestly good in IT and understanding where to apply for jobs will land you a really good job. This is because there is a massive deficit of skilled IT professional. The deficit was already 10.000 employees in 2018 and the number is growing by the thousands each year: yle.fi/uutiset/3-10669492
Anyways, im not trying to downplay the struggle that many, even phd educated people go through with job search. Instead im trying to relay that there are jobs if you get an education that is really in demand. E.g. if you want to get employed straight from school and with a high pay, studying history is most likely not the best option :P
This is a very well researched and informative video.........Thank you for taking the time in collating all this information for Finnish neophytes like us.....Really appreciate the effort. Kiitos!❤️
Hey Aishwarya and thanks so much for the positive feedback, i do appreciate it 👊. Id also love to get as much constructive feedback as possible. Ive noticed that feedback from subscribers is the best way for me to develop this channel going into the future. For example if you have any questions that you have been trying to find an answer to, but havent found anything on the web, just let me know and ill take a look at it.
@@RoadtoFinnish Sure.....thanks so much for the support ❤️
Kiitos paljon😊. I needed this video..
You are most welcome :).
For a native English speaker Finnish is very hard. I’m learning slowly and was able to tell my mummo a few nice things the other day which made her smile. She 97 and can’t understand or speak English anymore. My mom is fluent and I heard the language a lot growing up which helps but I’m always amazed just how well you guys speak English as it’s so different. Kiitos.
Thank you for information😍
You are most welcome! Do let me know if you have any further questions about the topic.
Aura's and Anna's finnish lessons youtube channels are also a good source of learning as far as I saw.
To be noted, I'm not finnish and learning finnish.
Aura focuses on the grammar first, it's the one I think is most usefull.
Awesome! Thanks so much for the recommendation!

I am an American, Finnish is the language that got me into languages! I wish I could move to Finland, hell I would work at a coffee shop :D
Hey Oliver, I just wanted to give a quick shoutout that Duolingo actually added Finnish to their app a few weeks ago, saying that it was the "most-requested language ever". One additional question though: What are your thoughts on learning Swedish instead of Finnish? For some Europeans (myself included) that might be the easier route, however I'm wondering if it would still be as useful?
Thanks in advance and have a great day.
Niko
Hey and thanks for pointing this out. I actually heard about Dualingo adding the support just a while ago and it kinda sucks because it was just a few weeks after I uploaded this video. 😏 Dave Cad actually has a pretty great video about it here if you want to check it our: ua-cam.com/video/wcJv_dR1BJY/v-deo.html
Also, someone actually asked me about this Finnish/Swedish question just yesterday so ill just copy & paste my answer from that other video right here:
While this topic is a bit more complicated than what I might make it sound, I have to simplify it a bit:
So while Finland has two official languages (Finnish and Swedish), learning Swedish rather than Finnish doesnt really do that much good unless you apply for very specific positions or companies. This is because while Swedish is an official language, it is still a minority language and the official working language in the vast majority of companies in Finland is either Finnish or English. This doesnt say, however, that learning Swedish doesnt have its benefits - it definitely has. However, it should not be your priority in my opinion.
So if you want to learn a local language, you should definitely learn Finnish. While ive mentioned multiple times in my videos that one does not need Finnish in order to do well in Finland, it does definitely help. Again, I have to simplify this a bit, but what is important to understand is that the closer you work to customers, the more likely it is that a job requires Finnish language skills. This is why many international students find it very difficult to find any part time jobs in the service sector (e.g. shops, cafes or grocery stores). While most Finns speak fluent English, these day-to-day services still require you to speak Finnish in order to serve all customers.
So while it might be difficult to find a part time job without speaking at least some Finnish, this gets much easier the further you get in your studies. As a rule of thumb, the more specialised your skillset, the less Finnish is needed (with some exceptions like non-specialised medical care etc. - again, where you are in contact with customers). Finland is a very international country and most of our goods and services are exported, thus, most corporations and many small and medium size companies have English as their working language. Also, there is a thriving startup culture in Finland and we are producing some of the most interesting startups in Europe and in the world. Almost every single successful startup in FInland has built their strategy around internationality - meaning that their working language is English.
To summarise
- Even though Swedish is an official language, it is still a minority language and you should prioritise learning Finnish.
- Finding a part time job in the service sector most likely will require you to speak Finnish and this makes it hard to find a job as an international student in the beginning of your studies
- The further you get in your studies and the more specialised positions you apply for, the less likely it is that Finnish is required
I hope this answered your question, but do let me know if you want me to elaborate on some details.
I've been doing the duolingo course for about a week now. It seems really good. Occasionally the computer generated voice is a little funky - but mostly its ok (obviously recordings of native speakers would be much much better though).
@@mindisbuddha I am doing the finnish course on duolingo as well but I must say... It is extremely slow... It has been a week and my vocabulary only contains the very basic words, albeit, duolingo's repetition has allowed me to learn them like I'll never forget them. Lol
Kiitos tosi paljon tälle videolle! Duolingon sovelluksessa on suomen kieli oppitunnit. Anteeksi minulle että I totally butchered the Finnish language just now. 😂
studied in Finland as an exchange student and I stayed in a HOAS dorm and it's nice af :)
Oh yeah, the exchange apartments are especially nice!
Brilliant. Paljon kiitoksia
Channel Finnished is the best resource in my opinion 🙂
Thats a great recommendation! I actually didn't know about them before so thanks for sharing 👍
@@RoadtoFinnish its spoken Finnish and there is also subtitles on English and Finnish so you can see and learn words and after that listen again and again what is in my opinion best way to learn 🙂
Repetition is the king of learning 👍. Sounds really good. Do you have any specific videos that youd especially recommend people to start with?
@@RoadtoFinnish there is playlist for begginers so thats the best way to start and then there is probably more then 100 videos for so its really good source for Finnish
Awesome! Thanks for the this info!
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing these resources! I want to learn and noticed that Duolingo does now support Finnish! I wondered if you had looked at their course and what you thought of it in terms of a beginner tool. Thanks again!
Hey and thanks for the question! I have actually not taken a look at the Duolingo Finnish language course so cant comment on that. However, taking into account the overall quality of Duolingo, i can recommend at least testing it out. Not sure of the pricing plans for it nowadays, but if they have a free trial or something similar, id definitely take a look.
@@RoadtoFinnish kiitos!
Thanks for the video as always! It's really nice to know what free options there are. I most definitely wouldn't have found half of these resources!
Ps.: I'd like to ask an unrelated question.
The admittance to the design bachelor program in english was supposed to be sent out today, but we were informed via e-mail that the announcement is postponed to the 5th next month. Now I`m wondering if my chance to get a place in an AYY or HOAS apartment is worse now (especially because I have to file for a pet-friendly one) due to the postponement or if you know of any other issues that may crop up because of the situation that I could try to deal with now even without an acceptance.
Sorry about the unrelated question, but I'm sitting on coals by now.
Always happy to answer your questions 🤘. I actually didn't hear about the results being postponed... that sucks.. To be honest, I really can't say how that is going to impact your chances. June 5th is still three months before the semester starts so I guess you should be fine.
Nothing else pops in my mind but make sure to go through your to-do list to make sure you don't forget about anything because of the delay.
@@RoadtoFinnish Okay! Thank you for the reasurance.
I wanted to ask another unrelated question if that's okay.
I got accepted and am trying to find a roomie via Hoas-Matchie. I made a new Facebook account (I never had one before) and used to log in. Now my account got locked up after 2 days for no reason and I don't know when it will unlock again, so I can't access Matchie. Is there any other website you can use to search for a roomie? I probably can't get back my conversations with people on Matchie, but I would really appreciate another ressource.
Thank you in advance and sorry for bombarding you with questions. I'm just getting kind of desperate to solve this, as I can only move into a roomie appartment, nothing else, because of my dog.
Hey@@merileopardisaksassa7030 . I do not know of any other website that you could reliably use to find a roommate.
Are you sure about the fact that you can't apply to any other apartments. In my knowledge, Hoas allows pets into almost all of their apartments with the exceptions of shared apartments, furnished apartments and apartments with a shared kitchen.
@@merileopardisaksassa7030 Also remember to apply for AYY apartment. They allow pets to all other apartments except shared apartments. More info here: www.ayy.fi/en/housing/apartment-types
The thing many outsiders need to learn is not just the language itself, but the way to learn. Most, especially countries like America, the style of learning taught is very poor. Could you do a video which supports this one, with resources that teach a Finnish style of learning to help those who learned ineffective styles of learning which is basically memorize through reputation, which doesn’t work as well. Thank you so much for this.
Kiitos

Moi Oliver, Kittos! May I ask your opinion (as you are a native speaker) about "Finnish with Anna" Finnish language series on UA-cam? She has amazing playlist and I find it very useful. But I'd love to know your opinion, thank you again!
Hi Oliver,
Thank you for sharing such useful information. Will these free online courses be enough to cover the first few months(or weeks) of Bachelor's first-year Finnish courses that students are required to take in Aalto University? Thanks
Hey man and thanks for the interesting question! Unfortunately I have to say that I don't have any idea whether or not these will cover all the topics that are covered in the first year Finnish courses. Im sure that they will get you quite far but I don't have any experience about the actual Finnish courses at Aalto so can't really comment on that :S
Can you make the same video by updating the new website and apps
When I was posted fopr work in Paris, I arrived with no French skills. It was an American-based company so it wasn't a requirement. However I felt it was my duty to know my host country's culture and language during my stay.
Fast forward almost 30 years and I still speak French -- I'm not fluent, but I can get by without subtitles and deal with almost any in-person situation.
It changed my life -- if I were to live in Finland, you bet I would dive in and learn the language.
HOWEVER -- there are so many horrible language courses which use outdated teaching methods. For me, finding a course which does NOT use English as a crutch as that maintains bad habits. "French In Action" is one such course for French which does not use English past the intro Episode 1. You are forced to acquire the language as a child would -- grasping each concept natively instead of through the filter of your existing language.
Hello Oliver.
Is there any certain time range for enrolling to Introductory Finnish by Aalto Uni. Or can I just enroll anytime I want?
Kittos paljon
I started learning Finnish for fun because I saw it in one video and I was like “haha silly double vowels”… OKAY IT WAS A GOOD AND A BAD IDEA AT THE SAME TIME BUT IM A LANGUAGE NERD SO ILL GO ALONG WITH IT (plus I think it sounds cool)
Hello
Please i have a question ❓
If the rent will be less expensive as much as we are far from the capital like "kokolla"
And finally I'm so thankful for you for all those helpful videos u do a great job
Yes, rents and the overall cost of living will be cheaper outside of the capital region. However, the exact prices depend on each city and the situation with the local housing market.
Thank for your helpful videos

Hi Oliver,
Since Swedish is also an official language, do people in their day to day lives speak Swedish in Finland?
If yes, can you make a video on the resources where you can learn Swedish?
Thanks,
Aishwarya
Hey Aishwarya and thanks for the great question as always. The simple answer is no, the majority of Finns do not use or even speak Swedish. Even though Swedish is the second official language in Finland, not that many people actually speak Swedish, and even smaller group speak fluent Swedish. Its mostly spoken by people who are Swedish Finns aka they speak Swedish in their family but are Finnish and also live in Finland. This is quite common on the western coast of Finland because its closer to the border with Sweden.
This is naturally a simplification but i would say that if you dont live in any of the big university cities in the west, like Turku or Vaasa, you are not going to have that much use of learning Swedish especially before you get your Finnish to a good level 🙂
@@RoadtoFinnish Thanks for this beautifully crafted, meticulous answer. It makes sense I guess as most Finns have a certain extent of animosity towards Sweden or anything Swedish in general, on account of being ruled by them in the past. (Cue: Aleksi's videos) :P
Ach this is an interesting point but i think this is mostly about the fact that since Swedish isnt used that much unless you are a Swedish Finn or unless you speak Swedish among your friends, many kids see learning the language in school just as a mandatory thing that they have to do - but then forget about afterwards. In fact, i used to speak very fluent Swedish when i was younger (primary through to high school). I went to school in a Swedish speaking class and we had all of our education in Swedish until middle school (6-8 grades). Even though i studied the language actively all the way until the end of high school, my actual language skills started to deteriorate over time because i didnt have anyone to use it with. Its actually one of my biggest regrets because i would have personally had a huge amout of use for it.
So yeah, its a bit complicated 🤪. Btw, going to a Swedish speaking class is very rare in Finland and our parents were just smart enough to understand the value that it would bring us in the long-term. So thats basically th reason for the choice.
Ta lot.

I have a question about the 6000€that I need for living there
If I spent it in my first year but I find work there while I study
Is it possible to continue the rest of the year without having 6000€ in my pocket without any problem? Or having it every year is very important to continue my studies?
Thanks
Hey Recardo and thanks for the good question. To my best knowledge, you have to have the 6 720€ on your account at the time of the visa application. This means that if you apply for a two year visa (e.g. for a Master's degree9, you need have to have 13 440€ on your account at the time of the visa application. You can also apply for a visa separately for each year but the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) will assess your means of income every time you submit an application to us.
A lot of people have been asking about finding a job in during their first year of studies in order to finance their studies for year two and onwards. My honest opinion is that this is not a realistic plan especially in the current economic situation that we live in. Finding part-time work in Finland as a student is quite hard especially if you apply for a service sector job. These jobs require you to speak Finnish, or if not, they require you to have a degree in hospitality. Also note that large corporations that hire students for internships usually prefer to hire near graduates because they want you to work close to full-time. This means that applying for a specialist job in your own field of study is not realistic in the first year.
Sorry if I disappoint you but I really want to be frank so I don't mislead you.

Hi bro whether aalto university is providing free of cost tution fees for studying medicine
Hi and thanks for the questions. You can not study medicine at Aalto University. You should check out the study options at University of Helsinki. They do grant scholarships for the best new students. More information is available here: www.helsinki.fi/en/admissions/scholarship-programme
Do the Sami understand Finnish, or do the Finnish understand Sami? I love Finnish but I'm also very interested in the Sami.
The Sami people are spread around the Nordics and many of them do not live in Finland. However, those living in Finland do speak Finnish. However, the Sami language is not taught in school in Finland (with a few exceptions) so regular Finns do not understand it.
Please will you guide about masters in Physicaltherapy course in finland? University? Scholarships are available or not? Fee how much? Thank you 🙂 always..
Hey man and thanks again for an interesting question! This is a topic that im not too familiar with but this is what I found after a quick google session:

"The amount of scholarship is 50 % of the tuition fee of the academic year (4 750 €). The scholarship is paid afterwards to the student upon application. The scholarship is available only during the optimum study time of the degree."

@@RoadtoFinnish thank you 🙂 for your response 😇 but I already contacted these to universities but SAMK not offer full time master... Anyway if you come to know more about it then let me know.. Thank you soo much 😇
Ah damn.. well good that you found that information anyways!
If I am not able to roll my tongue does this make a huge difference in not being understood by natives?
Oooh dont worry about it. While it is a characteristic of the language, it will not make a difference in your ability to communicate to Finns 👍. More over, we appreciate the effort that you are putting into learning the language.
Hi buddy I need help from your side , can you reply me?
I can do my best but please be as precise as possible.
I am learning Finnish so I can go to college in Finland and try applying for a citizenship after college.
Thats cool to hear. However, do note that you dont actually need to speak Finnish unless you specifically want to study in Finnish. There are over 400 English taught bachelor's and master's degrees offered by Finnish universities around the country.
Fortunately Duolingo supports Finnish now and I adore it 😌
mutta vain kaksikymmentäkolme yksikköä. Perkele!!

Hi there, It's really that Finnish is a hard language to learn according to your experience?
Hey and thanks for the question. Im of course a bit biased as a native speaker 😁. However, yes, Finnish is a difficult language to learn. However, as Nadine Best mentioned in another comment, it will depend on the person and their background. But still, do note that learning Finnish is in no way needed for you to do well in your career especially if you are highly educated for a specialised role.
@@RoadtoFinnish Thank you for clarification.
I think maybe you should know how to say hello, goodbye and thanks in Finnish. I think people in the daily life will appreciate if you know this words
@@nadinebest8481 This is true for sure. Knowing some Finnish does definitely help in ones day-to-day life + plus it will most likely make your stay here a lot more exciting.
Pakko englannin Olen kyllästynyt UA-cam-mainoksiin joka 5. minuutti ja pakottaa minut englannin kieleen, kun haluan paeta valheitaKäännetty Japanin ainu-kielestä. Ilmeisesti englanninkielisiä videoita on paljon enemmän suomen oppimisesta, jos googletan hakusanoja suomeksi tai karjalan kielellä ainu niitä on vähän mutta hyviä , odotan miltä tahansa YT-kanavalta suomenkielisiä kommentteja mutta ei montaa sanaa Epäilen että ne vai eivät ihmiset, mutta YT:n tekemät tekoälybotit, jotta kanavan asiakas tarvitsee apua mainostamiseen ja näyttääkseen siltä.
very nice
Thanks
After three days I know a nice few (few) words so... I can just smile and nod lmao
😅 thats progress though. Keep it up!
May I learn Finnish online free course
Yeah of course! Use any of the free services that i mentioned in this video.
Hi Oliver, I would like to study over there at Finland. I speak Spanish and I have a good English level. So, here are my questions...
1. Is one year enough to learn Finnish?
2. Is it true that most of the universities are free to study in?
3. How hard would it be to obtain a part time job?
4. Do you recommend studying there at Finland?
Hi Mau and thanks for the questions. Let me break these down into sections:
1. Well this would of course depend on how much you want to learn Finnish. If the question was about learning enough Finnish to apply to study in Finland in Finnish then the answer is no. In order to even apply to a Finnish taught university programme (where all courses are in Finnish), you need to read and speak Finnish fluently and almost at a native level. There is no way you would be able to get here in a year.
2. This depends. Studying at a Finnish university is free of charge for Finnish nationals and any European Union or European Economic Area citizens. Non-EU/EEA citizens have to pay a tuition fee that depends on the university. I explain this topic in more detail in this video: ua-cam.com/video/x1OIWwH5gA0/v-deo.html
3. This depends on your field of study, the city you are studying in, how far you are in your studies and what kind of job you are looking for. This is a very complicated topic and I am going to make multiple videos about it in the future, but to summarise, getting a part-time job during your first or second year of studies is almost completely out of question. This is simply because employees prefer to hire either near graduates or recent graduates for full-time positions. The further you get in your studies, the easier it is for you to find a part-time job but that will take time. The best way to work is to apply for a summer job for the 3 month long summer holiday period.
The best way to find a part-time job during your first years of studies is to apply for a job in the service sector. However, you should rely on this when making your financial plans because getting a job in Finland in the service sector without speaking Finnish is very difficult.
4. Absolutely! Studying in Finland will be one of the best experiences you will ever have. I understand that the tuition fees are not cheap but if you are able to cover those, getting a degree in Finland will definitely be worth it. In general, Finnish university graduates have good employment numbers and the salaries are decent.
I hope I answered all your questions. Please let me know if you want me to elaborate. Id love to explain these topics in more details if something was left unclear 👍
@@RoadtoFinnish would it be okay to go to Spain first as a native Spanish speaker to get EU citizenship and then go to Finland?
Olen gigachad
Speak Finnish ? Have you heard Americans speak English? Don't let us mangle up Finnish. It was nice to talk to you a bit but I will leave it to the students and you but it was nice. Thanks.
😅
Hii
Yo
You do need finnish language to get a job and thats a fact. even cleaners needs above language skills. dont give false hope 🤣
This simply depends on the field and the job. While a large amount of jobs in Finland do require local language skills (especially when talking about customer service), there are a massive and growing amount of jobs that do not require this. A major portion of these positions do require a higher education and many of them are in technology. So while yes, you might need Finnish depending on your circumstances, its not all black and white 👍.
the best decision is not to learn finnish and leave. especially if you can't find a job here
