Hmmm my quick google search initially came up with a Finnish made sauna... But I came across a site that said it meant to overcome adversity.

Maybe she's promising you some steamy heat and wondering if you can deal with it? >:D

I wish I could remember more German from HS 10 years ago and took more Latin classes.   It wouldn't hurt to learn another new language either, but probably easier to brush up and learn more about one I have already learned some of.

Finnish isn't Germanic though, It's Finno-Ugric.

I took German in HS too btw. Ich ube geige.
