Once I finally have some time on my hands where I'm not crying or cursing school, while doing school work. I'd like to pick up my Finnish lessons again.

I have to teach myself this language since well.. I live in Western/Upstate NY. Who in the area speaks that language?
My reason to do so: My boyfriend and I are planning on going over there for a trip and this way I can get us by kind of. I'll do my best and they'll be happy I tried if I flub up and explain that I'm not from there and wanted to make an attempt so I didn't seem like an asshole American who won't bother to learn some of the language of the country they're visiting. ^^"
No offense to some people ^^"
