सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Kesäloma' (summer holiday) is a national institution. Most people take the entire month of July off. If you say you are on holiday during this time, Finns will find it very natural. In Northern Finland, 'lomalla' often implies specific seasonal activities like skiing in winter or hiking in autumn (ruska). There is a shared respect for work-life balance. Being 'on holiday' means you are completely unreachable for work matters. Finns don't 'brag' about working through their holidays. It is seen as a sign of poor planning rather than dedication.
Drop the 'Minä'
You don't need to say 'Minä olen'. Just 'Olen' sounds more natural and native.
The Double L
Make sure to pronounce the double 'l' in 'lomalla' and 'täällä'. If it's too short, it sounds like a different word.
