It has it'a ups and downs. Definitely had to start over a million times. I'm in my eighth school now, and I'm only 15. I'll change a year and a half later ._.

But it's nice, you get to know new cultures and I learned more languages (3 in total now, I forgot how to speak the 4th, French) I wanna learn Japanese too hehe

Our main language is Finnish though we are actually a bilingual country, Swedish is the second official language here.

That's really great!
I am studying Arabic. I can read it. Can't speak, though. But I think if I knew the whole vocabulary and all, I'd be able speak. I can speak only English and Tamil. And I can read Sinhala and understand it a little bit.

Swedish not so much, haha. I understand it better than I write or speak it. English is more familiar language compared to Swedish because we start to learn it earlier in school.
