I want to learn Finnish

Studying Finnish is worth it! It is easier to get a job in Finland if you know how to use the language. The better you know Finnish, the larger the number and diversity of job opportunities there are. Language skills also help in other areas of life, such as taking care of things on your own and finding friends.
