Preparing for your first real winter in Finland

How to Prepare for Your First Winter in Finland✌️Moving to Finland is exciting, but winter can be one of the biggest challenges for international students. The good news is that with a little preparation, you'll quickly adapt and even learn to enjoy it.🧊❄️How cold is winter in Finland?Winter usually lasts from November to March, although it can be longer in northern Finland. Depending on where you live, winter typically range from 0- minus -25degree Celsius. However, what surprises newcomers the most isn't the cold but it is the lack of sunlight.🧥 Dress in Layers not just thick clothesThe secret isn't wearing one thick jacket—it's dressing in layers.-Base layer: Thermal clothing or merino wool-Middle layer: Fleece or sweater-Outer layer: A windproof, waterproof winter jacketDon't forget a warm hat, scarf, gloves, wool socks, and winter boots. Keeping your hands and feet warm makes a huge difference.☀️ Don't Forget Vitamin DDuring winter, Finland has very limited sunlight. Many people take Vitamin D supplements to support their overall health during the darker months.If you're unsure about the right dosage, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.🚶 Get Some Fresh AirEven when it's cold, try to spend 20–30 minutes outside when possible. A short walk can boost your mood, help you stay active, and make it easier to adjust to the season.🍲 Eat Well & Stay CozyWarm meals, hot drinks, and enough sleep will help your body cope with the cold. Creating a cozy home with soft lighting, blankets, or a cup of tea can also make winter much more enjoyable.❤️ Give Yourself Time to AdjustShorter days can make you feel tired or homesick, especially during your first winter. That's completely normal. Stay connected with friends, join university activities, and remember that adapting to a new country takes time.💕Final ThoughtsWinter in Finland may seem intimidating at first, but it's also one of the country's most beautiful seasons.

Self-studying Finnish before moving: Tips & Free resources from experience

Moving to a new country is exciting, but learning the local language can feel a bit intimidating—especially when it comes to Finnish! 🇫🇮​As someone who went through the process of settling in Finland, I often get asked: “Should I start learning Finnish before moving, and where do I even begin?”​My answer is always a big YES! Even learning the absolute basics before you board the plane will make your transition so much smoother, boost your confidence, and help you connect with locals faster.​Here are a few practical tips and free resources to help you self-study Finnish at your own pace before making the move:​1. Start with Everyday Basics​Don't worry about complex grammar rules right away. Focus on phrases you’ll actually use daily:​-Greetings (Moi, Hei)-​Polite expressions (Kiitos, Ole hyvä)-​Ordering food or shopping (Yksi kahvi, kiitos)​2. Top Free Resources to Get Started​You don't need to spend money on expensive courses to start learning:-​Duolingo: Perfect for building a daily 5-minute habit and learning basic vocabulary.-​Koto-Suomi & Uuno (Online): Great free websites designed specifically for newcomers to practice simple Finnish sentences.-​YouTube Channels: Channels like Learn Finnish with Yle or FinnishPod101 offer clear listening practice with real pronunciation.​3.

Why I Joined OmaApply : Helping Thai Students Make Finland Home

Living and working in Finland, I see every day how life-changing the education and lifestyle here can be.​In my mentor work, I’ve helped many international and Thai students adjust to life after they arrive. But during those chats, I kept hearing painful stories from students who paid exorbitant agency fees back home and being given misleading information —only to arrive and realize that promises were broken. Some were even falsely guaranteed jobs upon arrival or right after graduation.​Let’s be real: job hunting is tough everywhere, and nothing is handed to you easily without real effort.​I really dislike that kind of misleading approach. It made me ask myself: “What if I could help students right from step one—with total honesty—before they even hop on the plane?”​Why OmaApply?​That’s why I chose OmaApply.
