Filed under: Estonia
At the weekend, i was in Estonia. Actually Estonia is my home country, but because I Have lived in Finland for 15 years, really think that Finland is my home country. Last time I understood that I like Estonia. I really like Estonia people, Estonian sights…I have three countries that are important to me. These are Russian, Finland and Estonia.
When I walked on Estonian streets, I understood that I know this places. Then my friends asked me advice, it felt great and also when one woman came to talk to me in Estonian. Before my mum never taught me Estonian but I have more Estonian friends who have taught me. Then a woman came and I understood all that she said, however, unfortunately I couldn´t answer her. But luckily she understood me.
When I walked on Estonian streets I was surrounded by graffiti and old streets and old houses. Than we were in Old Town I saw the homeless people and my friends asked me, “How many homeless people are there in Estonia?” In my opinion Estonian people can be divided in to two, the riches and the poor. And because of that many young Estonian have become pickpockets.
Translate:
Sights = Nähtävyys
Surround = Ympäröidä
Homeless = Koditon
Pickpockets = Taskuvaras

I liked your post, because it’s heart-warming to hear that foreigners feel like home in Finland.
There are some mistakes in grammar and spelling (I’m not sure if they were simply mistakes in spelling). For example:
Estonia is the third person, so ‘mean’ should be ‘means‘.
Estonian
‘these places’ in plural or ‘this place’ in singular.
‘The rich’ is in singular just like ‘the poor’ unlike in Finnish (rikkaat, köyhät).
They were some other tiny mistakes, but they weren’t crucial and the text was perfectly comprehensible! Maybe the “proofread” button would be a good thing to consider, since you have a few little mistakes, but no actual, continuous errors in grammar. Only, the entry could have been longer… It’d been so pleasant to read more about Estonia!

You express yourself in a very immediate sort of way, as if there were nothing in between your heart and soul and the rest of the world. I bet you can communicate well in strange situations with just about anyone. The structure of your essay fails to make a full circle, but the beginning and middle are fantastic. Just work on that grammar, please!
Media / appearance: Good
I’m a little worried about two of your pictures… Did you consider copyrights!? Instead you could have provided us with some interesting links. The one of you and your friends is the best one anyway, you guys look so happy 🙂 (caption: these are my German friends)
Grammar: Satisfactory
