Oh what a day ...
So much sun I had been a long time, not even in Tallinn on Saturday! It seems to me as if I had not seen the sun for weeks! I was very tired the last few days and did not really know why that was. Basically, I had enough sleep! And when this morning the sun was shining and almost all day long so there was and I almost felt I knew why I was so tired ...
The day started so well and in the morning I took some pictures of the area in the sunshine. In school, I made the same a new experience: a Finnish teacher invited me to their Finnish education for migrant children. It was awesome! Only eight children in the group at various times in Finland - either from birth or for one year only. Twice a week, each small group of Finnish education. The groups are classified by grades (first and second graders, third-and fourth-graders ...). The eight-and nine-year-olds in this group are originally from Russia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Kosovo and Lebanon. First, the children asked me in Finnish. The teacher wrote the structure of the board and the English translation of it about. Suddenly, I should introduce myself in Finnish! I found it incredibly difficult to bring the about me - even children! I have great respect for all who dare approach at the Finnish! And I always know more, much as we force our children and young people if we want them to teach them a foreign language or simply ask them, without allowing them an opportunity was given to learn the language properly!
I then taught the children the German Welcome and Introduction formulas. It's amazing how quickly they were able to apply these incorporated and with preparation and repetition as well as visual support on the board! At the end of the day the children said "goodbye" - although they were in the Finnish lessons!
In the 6th Hours did my amazement. I met the English group (9 children that day!) On the floor and said "Hello, how are you? "I did not really expect an answer. But suddenly, there was even a small talk - in English! Some examples: "I'm fine, thanks. Are you tired today? Oh, I love this day! It's my favorite day! Sorry, what's your name again? "You said all the children! While the teaching of English, the children speak English and of course, even non-topic comments will be given in English - just amazing!
Because today was a beautiful day so I decided to make a city tour by tram 3T. She turns a large circle of Helsinki and takes a maximum. about an hour. (I Opinion recommended for short term visits in Helsinki.) So I went by urban parts that I had not seen before. With the sunshine, the city looked just great! I feel more comfortable and familiar in Helsinki and really like the city. In particular, the proximity to the sea, and the coastline with views of the sea look very relaxing for me. Only the icy wind ...
visited Following the city tour I have a new friend in her stationery and gift shop at the beginning of the center of Helsinki. She is Finnish and we got on Monday this week to talk when I wanted to buy postcards with her. She has a great store and I can recommend it only if you want to buy souvenirs, postcards, stamps, but also Finnish books and stationery, etc..
by the owner of the stationery store, I learned the reason for the many Finnish flags, which can be seen throughout the city every two feet or less: Today is the official day of equality! Wow! How cool! He goes back to the birth of Canth Minna, a Finnish writer. Put it in the 19th Century with their songs and captions for the rights of women. Me is very nice ...
