Hello everybody, I am Leyanys from Los Angeles and I LOVE Finland! I completely fell in love with the country as soon as I stepped off the plane the first time, and have since visited three more times so far. I'm trying really hard to learn Finnish but unfortunately there aren't too many Finns around here so it's a bit difficult.
It would be awesome if some of you out there that speak Finnish can help me learn while I help you with English or Spanish, I speak both languages natively. I'm not a professional teacher or anything like that, but I think it would be a fun way to learn and exchange knowledge.
Anyone that has the time and would like to chat to improve their language skills, please contact me! I can help with the speaking the languages English and Spanish, but also with writing, proofreading a paper, 'proper' and 'slang' words, anything really.
Kippis!
Hey!
Are you still up for getting touch with Finns? I'm a native and liked to exchange my language to Spanish.
I couldn't agree with you more Leyanys! Both in that the country is amazing and that it is hard to find Finnish resources. Here are some I have squirreled away:

And here is an adult immersion class, offered in Minnesota: http://www.concordialanguagevillages.org/adult-programs/detail/finnish-adult
Good luck!!!
Kiitos quique.dc, it looks pretty cool!
Hi,
Yeah, it's hard to find Finnish people to practice or learn the language.
You can try Uuno 1 & 2, it's very useful all its slides and animations: http://www.uuno.tamk.fi/
I hope that helps! :-)
näkemiin!
Hola! Hei!
Soy Finlandés y estudio Español. Quieres hablar conmigo en ambas idiomas y mejorar tu finés? He estudiado traducción en universitario y puedo corregir tus textos si quieres.
Olen suomalainen ja opiskelen espanjaa. Haluaisitko keskustella kanssani molemmilla kielillä ja hioa samalla suomenkieltäsi? Olen opiskellut käännöstieteitä yliopistossa ja voin myös korjata kirjoitusharjoituksiasi, jos haluat.
