Hello everyone,
I am a postcard collector and found this Real Photo Postcard in the USA at a Postcard show. My family is Estonian, and so I recognized the Finnish language right away. It is unusual to find Finnish cards in the USA. I would love any help reading the back if anyone is able. I have trouble reading Finnish script in cursive writing.
Thanks so much!
Hudson

Finland has had several mysterious crimes and disappearances that remain unsolved to this day.
Few examples are Lake Bodom’s murder and Raisa Räisänen’s disappearance.

Some cases have left investigators with unanswered questions for decades, while others continue to spark theories and public debate.

Off the top of your head, what unsolved crime in Finland do you think deserves a deeper investigation?

Fastest way to learn Finnish?

1 Upvotes

What’s the best way to learn Finnish fast?

Story/The why ->
My wife (Finnish) doesn’t want to live in my home country cause its very different and weird at times next to Finland, which I understand, however that comes with the issue that finding a job in Finland for me is like 1 in a million. Im currently “safe” cause I can keep working remotely for a few months, but other then that I dont want to rely on benefits after. I still get that being a non-native sometimes is an automatic rejection for a job, but I want to atleast try.

Been living in Finland for around a month now, and seems super hard to get around the language (other then reading, wife says I read almost perfect)
