Hyvää iltaa!
Miten menee?
Oh, yesterday was a great day:) I went to the Finnish Institute for an intensive Finnish course. The plan of the day was as follows:
10.30 - 11.00 Welcome Coffee, introductions
11.00 - 13.00 Hectic studies in small groups
13.00 - 13.30 Picnic lunch with a Finnish twist
13.30 - 15.30 Studies continue
15.30 Coffee and Finnish sweets
16.00 Last lesson, feedback and finishing at 17.00
We started with a breakfast: a nice coffee and a karjalanpiirakka with egg on top. That was really nice:) I have seen them before on pictures but have never tried them :) so that was my first time:)
We had a lovely lunch too... with herrings, meatballs, black bread and more... and then later we had really, really, really yummy korvapuusti. It was delicious:) And we had a chance to listen to Finnish music too... there was Sibelius and humppa too :)
Talking about humppa, I have found a great band... they do mostly parodies of well known songs but in humppa style:) the guys are crazy!!! I want to see them life!!! :) Check this song... just first few bits and I want to dance:) Eläkeläiset "Hulluna humpasta". I am adding these guys to my list of the Finnish bands I like:)
And then we have a lot of Finnish studies but the atmosphere was really great and I would like to thank our teacher - Riikka. She was really nice and funny hence it was a great pleasure to learn the language. And I need to say that I would stay even longer because it was really interesting. Not only to learn Finnish but to talk about Finns and their own approach to certain things :) I really liked it. :)
So if anyone wants to do the Finnish course? try with Finn-Guild! :)
