By our school I mean not only the faculty and curriculum of TSE, but also our student body. I mean it, share your thoughts on this with me.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Finland has always been very Finnish. I think everyone loves that a little, even if they choose not to advertise it. I know I\u2019m not the only one who appreciates purposeless drinking, inappropriate but clever wordplay, coffee and silence. It\u2019s good that we acknowledge our heritage. But does it mean doing everything in Finnish?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Exchange students understand why we do everything in our mother tongue; Finnish culture is what they came here to see. The problem is that we don\u2019t involve foreigners. We extend lukewarm welcomes to our parties and move on to organize events that are targeted toward them. This effectively undermines the invitations to regular events. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">We\u2019re nimble when it comes to creative event descriptions, video advertisements and humorous promotions on social media. We take deliberate risks in phrasing controversial ideas and themes, and dance on the fine line between what you can and cannot say. But then the gist is translated shortly in English. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Spoken and written English seems to intimidate a big portion of our active student body. We want to accept exchange students and immigrants as our own, but they are constantly shut out by our small actions. Our English content is scarce, for which I am admittedly responsible. The majority seems to feel like it\u2019s a burden to translate content, failing to see the possibilities that it offers. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><br><strong>Honestly, we don\u2019t need to be especially articulate or have the most <\/strong><br><strong>eloquent vocabulary, we just need to make an effort.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\"><br>Did you know that the English language (well, this one big-ass dictionary to be precise) consists of around 230 000 unique words? \u00a0Finnish is descriptive too, but the language can\u2019t keep up with contemporary fads quite the same. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Problems arise when you try to balance the two languages without confusing anyone. English works on Instagram, because the whole feed is typically in English. But what felt better in Finnish on the drawing board doesn\u2019t work in English anymore, so things need to be reinvented for the gram. Who wants to go through all the trouble. I also understand that it\u2019s hard; everything in our culture can\u2019t be translated, especially in the student environment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">This text isn\u2019t unusually difficult or uncomfortable to read \u2013 I hope. I can honestly confess that it took me about half the time to write, compared to it\u2019s would-be Finnish equivalent. That coming from someone who prides himself in being a fluent writer in his mother tongue. A facade, anyone who can actually write will let you know. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">The direction I would personally like to see us take as an institution is changing to English completely. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not entirely up to me. The change has to begin with like-minded people taking initiative. I can ask TuKY actives to write in English, but I can\u2019t force them to enjoy and take interest in it. I want to inflict change but I can\u2019t do it alone. It starts with changing our culture towards a more pro-English disposition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Or, you know, coming up with a dynamic name instead of the monster that is the Association of Economics Students in Turku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tuky.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JuhoM\u00e4kinen.png\" alt=\"Juho M\u00e4kinen\" class=\"wp-image-30778\" width=\"171\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tuky.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JuhoM\u00e4kinen.png 341w, https:\/\/www.tuky.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JuhoM\u00e4kinen-40x40.png 40w, https:\/\/www.tuky.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/JuhoM\u00e4kinen-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 171px) 100vw, 171px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Juho M\u00e4kinen<br>Head of Communications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would like to resurface the conversation of using English in our school.
