You'll have to check with them, but I assume that you could write the "Finland" section of a regional book or a Finland-specific book.

May I also mention that I'm super jealous that you know Finnish? Man. If I can get into the Scandinavian program I'm shooting for at Berkeley (a big if), I'll have the opportunity to take Finnish classes, but I'll be majoring in Swedish -- not sure if it would be such a smart idea to attempt learning two new languages at once!

Are you friends with littlebutfierce yet, btw? You should be!

Finnish is lovely, I agree. Sometimes I read the HelsinginSanomat out loud just to hear it (even when I don't understand the words). I'll bet you could learn two languages at once, you'll just have to be careful to compartmentalize :-) I know I had to give up German while I was in Finland because I just couldn't think of any words anymore, but they came back after the Finnish settled a bit.
