I take it that you speak English and Finnish. It's ironic, I have heard that Finnish is extremely difficult.

the things i screwed up in? well, it would be a bit easier to say what i didnt screw up in...the test itself wasnt a big one, mainly vocabulary and the declensions of the words. they were pretty simple words like yrke(job) dikt(poem)and basic words like that, but i didnt know what they were then, so i failed. the thing that makes it so hard is that you have to get 55% correct to pass!! oh well, ill just study harder for the next one.
btw, im a, what do you call it, a dual nationality, maybe? anyway, im an american citizen, but im also a Finnish citizen, hence i know the finnish language. so theoratically i could become the president of the USA or finland(i wonder if i could be both [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] ). and you are correct, finnish is ranked as one of the hardest languages in the world(right there with chinese, korean and japanese), due to its strange grammar.
