Breaking in?...

Post by sara123 » Mon Jun 17, 2013 4:56 pm

Hi there,

We'd like to relocate to Finland but don't know if it's possible. My husband is a Production and Logistics Manager with many years experience but cannot speak Finnish or Swedish. I have a BA and MA from Cambridge but speak only English. Possibly I could get a scholarship to study in Finland if I could study in the English language. We would be totally dedicated to learning the Finnish but don't know if my husband would need to be fluent in order to find work in the country.

Please advise us.

Thanks Xx

Pretty much.

Study is free, but no scholarships.

You need a better plan. Without a job lined up it is pretty much useless to come.

probably you'd need to be fluent yes.
Unless its an international company that does not need Finnish. Then you speak English.
Then you don't learn Finnish.
Unless you want to learn Finnish.
But everyone speaks English.
In fact for me its more difficult understanding people in UK with bad English, even if they have better qualifications and use superior words to me.
