She went from almost zero to speaking flawlessly with barely any accent in just 2.5 years. This feels like almost impossible.

Some natives should take a lesson from her.
I meant to talk about how fast she learned the language in such short time, so i used another headline.
That’s impressive. It took me half a year from 0 to B2 in the YKI examination but I’m Estonian so it doesn’t really count lol. Estonians know A1 Finnish by default without learning lol
Its impressive but i wouldn’t say almost impossible, this is literally like the best way to do it. Be young with young brain, dropped in middle of nowhere where everyone can (and likely will) speak Finnish to you in the best (only lmao) place in Finland to make friends (high schools).
She speaks better finnish than most of people in Pori
She lives in North Karelia — people will come and talk to you just because there, so she can practice her Finnish. It would be a lot harder elsewhere.
She doesn’t even have an accent. Impressive.
Finnish is not an extremely difficult language, even if people keep repeating that idea. It is much easier than say Arabic, Chinese, Japanese or Korean. Same level as Greek, Hindi, Russian, Polish, Turkish etc. at 1100 hours for learning it as an English speaker.
