The stresses and things do become somewhat intuitive after a while I find.

Finnish is a slavic language isn't it? Closer to Russian? Swedish is Germanic, like English but still has some of the old habits such as pronouncing the "k" in words that use "kn."

Finnish is actually in the Finnic-Uralic family. It's more closely related to Hungarian and Estonian.

I like how in Finnish, every letter in a word has a sound. If there are doubles of letters next to each other, the sound of that letter just gets held on to longer when you speak it.

I will admit, I have been slacking, but I am trying to learn it. I have a goal to be able to speak it when my boyfriend and I go on holiday in Finland ^^

Edit: Yeah, since I've been working on Finnish, when I will try to sing along to a Swedish song, I will mess up a little bit because I forget the sounds in Swedish and will pronounce them like I'm speaking Finnish ^^"
