My D is a "Finn wanna-be" -- studied the language for several years, spent a summer there on exchange, and hopes to study there fall semester next year (if her application can get through the volcanic ash to the University!). She is also considering applying for a Fulbright to study education policy in Finland after graduation. To be fair, Finland is an extremely homogeneous society with a very high literacy rate. That simplifies the task of teaching a lot.
