Learning Finnish Student Slang – University jargon 101 | Study in Finland

Описание: In this video we go through 27 Finnish university slang words that you will hear a lot after relocating to Finland for your studies. A full list of the terms can be found below 👇

As I've mentioned in previous videos, there is no need to learn Finnish to do well in Finland. However, learning some basics will help you in your everyday life, and it will make your life here just a bit more interesting. This also applies to student slang. Finnish students use a lot of different slang terms that you should learn. This will help you get inside the local student culture and it will help you discuss different study related topics with local students.
