English training I have used English online for several years and this has led to the point where I can read everything I need to and completely understand it. However, recently I've been more and more involved in language learning and now I'm looking for language partners to study Japanese with. My native language is Finnish, and because there's not as much Japanese people who want to learn Finnish than there is those who are studying English, I was thinking maybe I could try teaching them English instead of my native language. First I have to be sure I know English well enough myself, of course, and that's why I'm now writing this notebook entry. Be strict or even cruel with your corrections, please!

My native language is Finnish, and because there's not as much Japanese people who want to learn Finnish than there is those who are studying English, I was thinking maybe I could try teaching them English instead of my native language.

 

..as many people

Alternative > ...but as there is much more demand for English from Japanese people than for Finnish...

Excellent! One minor thing: "not as *many* Japanese people" -- to be honest, I've seen a lot of native speakers make that mistake as well, and even worse ones.
