Background of My Language

                         
                             In my family we speak Finnish and it is completely different to English. Here in United States I m trying to learn better English all the time. Here in college, my accent is being noticed. Usually people tell me according the first words, that I have an accent. I think the accent comes from my country because I can hear many Finnish people pronouncing words in same way. I also understand Finnish people's English easier and I feel more confident when it is spoken.

                At this moment I am not trying to code-switch my accent because even easy talking is a quite challenge for me. It is pretty important for me to communicate with bunch of different people and try to learn something from them. That is the only way to get better in English.
