What a silly and divisive question.
Learning Finnish is vital for foreigners but often employees don’t give foreigners a chance even when they do learn Finnish. It’s often just as hard for a foreigner who has actually learned Finnish to find work as a foreigner who hasn’t.
The presumption is always that the foreigner didn’t learn the language well enough, that foreigners actually can’t learn to speak Finnish to an advanced level.
obviously
If the job market was booming and it was hard to fill positions, I’m sure companies would be more lenient if someone is still learning Finnish or doesn’t speak it yet. Right now the power is with the companies.
For integrating, of course you learn the language of the country where you are going to live, work and spend your time. How is that even a question?
If you’re not happy with how fast people are learning on their own, help them.
(it depends)
My Finnish colleagues have been super happy to help me learn. They’re always explaining words and phrases. At the same time, they don’t pressure me. They’re just there to help. It’s great.
