  You're going to have a hard time trying to get an education (and a serious one, as you said) without that much knowledge of the language.

I had a friend live in Finland for a year, she chose it almost completely at random, and is now continuing to study the culture in a university here in Canada. She absolutely loves Finland and goes back to visit when she can.
