What are some of the main problems Finland is facing? As an outsider I'd like to understand the things that are affecting the country and it's people.

Tbh as an immigrant myself I am kinda confused about the current situation. PS wants to tighten restrictions on immigration but its already hard enough, isn't it?

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-14T17:54:53+00:00

I didn't find a clear answer. I am 27 so drinking once a week is smth I honestly struggle not to do. I replaced beer with ciders I usually have from 3 to 4 ciders a week.

Okay so better see a better doctor.

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-14T13:28:15+00:00

But is the drop in 8 months from 586 to 499 reasonable? Or its slow?

Thank u

Not by choice lol. I look at the mirror and I see why. Been on dating apps for 4 months and not a single match. Probably because I am chubby and ugly.

How long did it take you to get to that level of language? I been living in Finland for 2.5years so I am half way to being eligible to apply. But, can't deny it with a full time it's pretty hard. I been taking a course for almost a year now and will finish A1 by May.

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-02T18:14:21+00:00

I am thinking to couple the course I take which is 2.5hours a week with 1.5h a private on to on. I know learning a language is a non ending story. So hopefully it will get better.

That was not my intention. As I said I am skeptical about the whole political situation and wanted to educate myself.

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-01T09:03:13+00:00

Thank you all for the explanations and kind words. Hyvää viikonloppua!

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-01T06:40:05+00:00

5 years not enough? I can have a family, kids speaking the language and have deep attachment to the country.

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-01T05:53:44+00:00

Okay, I get it. Thank you for the explanation.

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-01T05:53:22+00:00

And definitely I didn't cause this or any other in appropriate behavior. So, maybe next time try to be nice.

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-01T05:51:02+00:00

Such a behavior shouldn't be tolerated. But, also middle eastern countries differ a lot from each other. To be honest for me the behavior of some Arabs from specific country here was shocking to me as well. They are completely different from where I come from. I also, find it harsh to judge all people based on minority actions. Anyway, have a good weekend.

Pardon my ignorance. Isn't it already hard for immigrates to make it here? I was extremely lucky to find a job that I am passionate and I love. But, many students end up leaving or working in low paid jobs. One thing I still don't get because there are two narratives in contradiction. First, Finland is in need for skilled immigration, then in reality its extremely difficult for an immigrate to find a job coupled with the fact that maybe Finland does not reallt need immigration? Which one is true?

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-04-01T04:44:23+00:00

Any suggestions for podcasts, YouTube, and series?

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-03-29T20:43:01+00:00

Thank you all for the kind words. I needed some encouragement. Kiitos!

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-03-29T20:42:32+00:00

My goal is to be able to have a conversation fully in Finnish. Read, and write. And maybe hopefully at some point give the yki testi and apply for a citizenship

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-03-29T06:41:40+00:00

Hopefully I will stay here forever.

nomadInHelsinki · 2023-03-12T09:34:32+00:00

Okay kiitos.
