Finnish is the official language of Finland and is spoken by more than 90 percent of Finnish people. There’s something pure in the Finnish air and spirit that’s incredibly vital and exciting. Although socially and economically, Finland is in the vanguard of nations, parts of the country remain gloriously remote with the trendsetting modern capital of Helsinki counterbalanced by vast forested wildernesses in the north and east, like Lemmenjoki National Park and Oulanka National Park. These wilds are perfect for treks among the pines and lakes in summer. And who’d have thought that so far north you could have such a summer? It’s a golden, sunny season when Finland bursts into life with an explosion of festivals, good cheer and optimism. It’s a time when the towns are buzzing, but it’s also a time to head for the lake lands of Mikkeli and around Lappeenranta. Sit on the veranda of a waterside wooden cottage and watch the summer sun shining low over the trees, and you'll have experienced one of Finland’s ultimate treats — a real Nordic peace that eases the soul.

Besides Finland, Finnish is also spoken in Estonia, Ingria, the Karelia Republic, Sweden and Norway.

Here are some of the basic Finnish phrases that you might use:

• Missä on lentokenttä? (Where is the airport?)
• Voitko mennä hitaasti? (Can you go slow?)
• Haluaisin saada kuppi kahvia. (I would like to have a cup of coffee.)
