Same here, but i know that if one meets a fellow countryman/woman, it's
very tempting to write in your native tongue.
Luckily i can understand some German, a bit of French, a bit of Spanish, a
lot of Dutch and English, and even a few words in Japanese but not a word
Finnish/Suomi.
No wait, i know that "kamin" is Finnish for stove! :-)
