Hauska tavata! –Nice to meet you!
I’m Linda, owner of Fluent Finnish. I’m a Finnish translator and a native Finn, born and raised in Helsinki, Finland. I relocated to sunny Miami in early 2015 and started my own one-woman language business, Fluent Finnish in 2018.
My alma mater is University of Helsinki, where I studied Finnish language and literature and a lot of other intriguing subjects such as communication, comparative literature, and computer science.
Over the past 15 years, I have had the opportunity to work in numerous fields and tasks related to language and linguistics: my work history in academia, linguistic research, media, communication, and T&I industry has brought me extensive experience in all aspects of language use.
FLUENT FINNISH is ABOUT providING the best Finnish language services to PRIVATE & BUSINESS CLIENTS, TRANSLATION AGENCIES AND OTHER BUSINESS PARTNERS.
Punctuality, humanity, and meticulousness are the key strengths and the core values of Fluent Finnish.
