	Here in Europe situation is quite different,
	because here nearly every nation has its own language.
	Also among smaller countries the necessity of
	language studies is even bigger.

	For example most research papers are never translated
	to finnish, so we have to be able to read them in
	english or some other language.

	Here studies in foreign languages are required for M.Sc.

	I have been studying english since I was 10, so some
	experience has gathered.

	So for us learning foreign languages isn't only
	nice for knowledge and understanding of other people,
	but necessity.
