Hi!

I've been in Helsinki for three years now and am married to a Finnish man. Trying to broaden my circle of english speaking friends and would love to meet some other Americans here in Helsinki.

Hoping to get a group together to grab some drinks or coffee soon!

Hello Williams and welcome on Expat.com;)
Ok let's go for the tentative answers to your quest
regarding friends, I'm sure you have made the right move to enroll on Expat.com; you'll find some pretty soon, certainly if you browse around the forum...
As for learning the language and finding a job, you might want to post an ad in Helsinki's Classifieds in "Language Classes" and in the "Jobs" section.
Good luck for everything
Cheers
Arlette

Hello Kyla, I've just moved to Vantaa from the United States three days ago and would love to meet new people. I'm struggling a bit with Finnish, though I would like to learn. Coffee or Drinks with a group sounds great!
