Short Introduction of myself
Hello , I will give a short introduction of myself in this article.
My name is Adrien Petit, I am a from France, and I man currently studying business in Centria University of Applied Sciences, in Kokkola, Finland. I am doing my third year of BBA , with a Double Diploma at the end of the second semester.
If i decided to study abroad, it is because i am already used to live in a foreign country, as a french expatriate with my family in China, Shanghai, for almost 6 years.
I really enjoy meeting new people, with a whole new way of living, the habbits, the culture, and especially the music.
I used to be the second guitarist in a rock band , during my expatriation.
I can't wait to discover new countries, even though i have seen nothing yet from Finland ! I need to be permanently in mouvment.
So this is me, through this short introduction of myself, and i hope you will also like to live for a couple of days/months here in Kokkola or in Finland, where ever you planned to live !
Adrien Petit, Third year of Bachelor Business and Administration.
Wordle - Finnish language
Man : Well, it is true that finnish language is pretty hard to learn, because of our very long words. But we learnt how to speak english, and pretty well. Most of the finnish at work can speak english, to give informations about something you need. But if you want to learn finnish, you must be brave !
First Women : Of course finnish language is not open to everyone, espcially if you have difficulties to learn a foreign language, that is totally different from your native language. But with time and practices, a lot of practices ( talk to finnish in the street, ask them if they understood you well or not ) , you can manage to speak finnish within 2 or 3 years !
Second Women : what can i say ? We know that finnish is hard to learn, and because not a lot of us go abroad to study , not many people take the shoot at learning finnish. I would say that the best way to learn our language is to watch movies, documentaries, be familiar to the finnish sounds, the way finnish talk to each others. And of course, take finnish language courses, to be able to write and to get how our difficult grammar is.
Wordle - Finnish attitude
Man : To get how finnish behave and how to act like a finnish, it is about to take the time to know the finnish ; we , as finnish people, are pretty shy about strangers, about the rest of the Europe and the world. We are not a lot in our country, so we already know our neighbours , and we are afraid to take the first step in a relationship.
The first Women : The finnish attitude ? Well, it is all about the respect of the others first. We don't act for ourself,even if we seem to be close-minded. You will never see a finnish act in a bad way for the finnish society. We have this respect for everyone. If you are a stranger to this country, don't be scared about this very large "personal space". We rather first talk with a long distance with you , to trust you, and then , we might become physicaly close to you.
The second Women : Yes, indeed it is about trust issues at first. We don't leave our country easily , and because of that point, we must take the time needed to trust someone who is not from our home ( even with others finnish ! ). And an other important point about the finnish attitude, is the respect of the environment. It is not because it is not your street, your forest, our your bus, that you should not care and pollute it. You live in there too. There is this community spirit here in Finland.
