[quote=CARLOS,384931]Jimmy, My Lao Po has been here for one and a half years now. Although we speak finnish at home, she don´t understand other people´s finnish. Pronouncing finnish, we say finnish language is pronounced just as it is written and that seems to be difficult for foreigners. A good example is how the english word "queue" is pronounced. To a finn it sounds like"kjuu", if it is pronounced "in finnish" it sounds like "kueue". My Lao Po knows a chinese woman in Wienna, Austria. She has lived there for about two years and speaks and understands germany quite well. Also one woman she knows has lived in Barcelona, Spain for a little over two years, she speaks and understands spanish well. So perhaps can say that anything else is easier than learning finnish. Which is a bit odd, because I have been able to speak finnish since I was a kid... Carlos [/quote]
