My name is Essi, I'm from Finland and I'm turning 29 (on March 6th). I'm a university student and I major in German language & culture and minor in communications and Japanese language & culture. My native language is Finnish and my target languages are English, Japanese, Swedish, German and Arabic. I'm also interested in linguistics, especially historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language revitalization and (second-)language acquisition. Nice to meet you!
