Finnish
Today I reviewed the conjugation of the present tense for the verb to be - olla minä olen sinä olet hän on me olemme te olette he ovat I then reviewed words for the days of the week along with the word for "tomorrow" thus using the verb olla, I can now say " it's ..." for example today: on torstai. tomorrow is (...) - Huomenna, on (perjantai) then after reading about the suffix endings -ni and -si I learnt today the question "mikä sinun nimesi on?" 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Olen utelias. Miten opiskelet suomea? Mitä kirjoja tai kursseja käytät?

So now is of course 2013 and so it's officially TAC time!
I've not been doing as much as I would like to have been so far as I have a flu, but I have done a few things today and that is what I'd like to write about in this little entry for today. Finnish - To allow myself to start having a wider range of vocabulary I have started using Finnish on memrise, I've planted about 25 words and harvested 16 words. - I've also been using http://donnerwetter.kielikeskus.helsinki.fi/FinnishForForeig ners/parts-index.htm - to help expand upon vocabulary. In terms of mainly what i've learnt today is: päivä - day viikko - week kuukausi - month vuosi - year joka päivä - every day joka viikko - every week joka kuukausi - every month joka vuosi - every year 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Small update for now, might write again later.
I've been hectic with job interviews so I've not had much study time! Finnish I've basically reviewed everything that I've done so far and I've finally got around to putting the Teach Yourself CDs onto my laptop, which I've started listening to. I've done lesson one, so i've learnt things such as " anteeksi, en ymmärrä " and " minä ymmärrän " I've also been using memrise to build upon vocabulary alongside video tutorials that are on the inFinnish channel on youtube. Phrases which I've learnt from the video include: ole hyvä - you're welcome puhutko suomalainen? - do you speak Finnish? mikä sinun nimesi on? - what is your name? minun nimeni on ... - my name is ... olettko kunnossa? - are you okay? olen kunnossa - i'm okay kiitos kysymästä - thanks for asking mikä on ...? - where is ...? olen allerginen - I'm allergic Korean Using memrise to learn how to read Korean has done wonders for me, i've learnt half-way and already i'm able to pick up letters here and there when seeing Korean words. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Finnish
What I've been working most recently was an impromptu 'lesson' by a Finnish friend of mine who helped me with a query that I had. I've learnt the inessiivi case, as my friend and I were talking about the weather as it's been snowing here in the UK so I asked her what the opposite to kyllä (cold) was and she told me that it was lämmin(warm) So I learnt that the inessiivi case refers to something being in the state of or in something, so englannissa = in England, suomessa = in Finland The phrase I learnt was englannissa on kylmä = in England it is cold. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

A month on and i've not done much in the last 2 weeks given me having to travel for job
interviews, so i've been mainly working on reviewing everything so far. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'll be eagerly following your Finnish progress! I also think it's a fascinating language
with beautiful sounds and a unique grammar structure. Good luck! - Kat 1 person has voted this message useful |
