If you know anything at all about Finland, it probably involves Sisu (willpower, energy and physical stamina), the Sauna or Sibelius (musical composer).
  

But there's much, much more to Finland than that. This Nordic country is endowed with numerous beautiful lakes, huge forests, and wide open areas ready for your exploration. The midnight sun and the Sami (Lapps) inhabit the northernmost part, but southern Finland is on the cutting edge of modern technology.

Nokia, the Finnish cellular company is connecting people all over the world, and is just one of many successful contemporary Finnish companies making their mark in the business world.
  

When you study Finnish, you demonstrate to everyone around you that you are both adventurous and smart! But even though Finnish has a reputation for being a tough language to learn, it really isn't! It is easy to pronounce, there are no genders, and the grammar is straightforward.
  
So if you want to be able to talk to Santa in his own language, Finnish is the language for you!
