Fight Club

Tomorrow it’s April 26th, an important day for me: i moved in Finland exactly 2 years ago, 26.04.2006. And after I’ve been living two years in Helsinki, I can say I still love it, more and more all the time.
And what about the language? Well…I start to understand more but I don’t speak that much…yet. So it’s time to make some changes.
Everybody who goes in Italy can easily learn the language in 1-3months. Why? Cause you can’t speak english in there, italians we don’t speak english.
So how can one learn Finnish? In a creative way, I’m going to be the one that doesn’t speak english.
From tomorrow it’s going to be like I don’t know any english. My first language will be finnish, even with friends. Clearly in the beginning it’s going to be hard but I believe that around the end of the summer…mmm…we will see

The rules of the Suomi Club

  1. if I’m talking with someone who doesn’t know one of the 3 languages that I sort of speak (Finnish, Italian and French) then it’s going to be english
  2. if it’s the first time that we meet I’m autorized to use english, just to explain who I am
  3. With friends I can’t use english
  4. I can use english just when I’m with someone for more than 1 or 2 hours during the same night…so at least there is going to be an amount of time in finnish.
  5. these rules are valid also on the internet


Please help me :D
