My 1st and native language is Finnish. I started studying English at the age of.... 10? Or maybe 11? Can't remember for sure. And a year after that we had the chance to choose a foreign language to study, the options were German and Swedish. I would've wanted to study German but then ended up taking Swedish, thank you mom. That was a stupid choice because everybody in Finland has to start studying Swedish at the latest in junior high because Finland is bilingual. So yeah, I studied those two (English and Swedish) in school and then became interested in Japanese, so I started to study it by myself. When I was on 7th grade (13/14) we had a fair in school to choose three optional subjects. I originally took Russian as one of them and German as second choice, in case the group wouldn't form (which happened) and then I had to study German. I learned only a few new things (writing and some other), because when I was little we had this cartoon channel with all the programs in German so I grew up to understand the language. As for now I'm planning to go study Russian to an adult education center.
