Struggle with the Finnish language

Struggle with the Finnish language

Words like "kiitos" or "moikka" were easy to get after a few days. Luckily, I also had a Finnish course for exchange students which enable to count to twenty. Some words in Finnish are almost like German, you just have to add an "i" at the end like "elefantti, salatti, halli or alkoholi" which makes the language funny for German speakers.

At the beginning I felt like I want to learn Finnish as a second language but after few weeks I become more realistic and I destroyed this goal. Finnish is one of the most difficult language in the world. During my practical training in a primary school I learnt that even Finns with their mother tongue have struggles with the grammar. Lots of the lessons at this primary school were in Finnish. Sometimes, I didn't understand a word or the topic they talked about for a whole hour.
Day by day I got better to get some words or make a guess about the topic but for me it's almost impossible to make a sentence, even I had any lessons.
