I get that, but the tenor of this thread is finding work.
Sorry for derailing! I've just seen a bit too many optimistic "oh you'll do fine with only english" takes around (not just on lemmy) which I find misleading and in the need of a disclaimer
Sadly, it's true for some foreigners as long as they stay in Helsinki.
Yeah you can indeed get by, but essentially the longer you stay, the more issues you will face. It's easy if it's just stuff like going to a restaurant or your work, but trying to make friends that are not other immigrants? Dealing with the official bureaucracy hell? Just always being the outsider in every situation with the natives? There's plenty of stuff you might not notice in the beginning but can be trouble later on
I totally agree. I feel sorry for these people, and I'm trying hard not to look down on them because I can understand that learning languages can be difficult.
