Our learning goal was to teach and learn the names of the supermarket products and of the ingredients we were using for our recipes. Besides, we also learned and taught the words of different kitchen utensiles, like fork (=harrukka), spoon (lusikka) and knive (veitsi). It was difficult, to focus on a certain word group because there were a lot of new words, so we tried to focus on the vocabulary for the ingredients and for the kitchen utensiles, we actually used for our reciped.
Astiat = cutlery
Ruoka = food
Hyvää Ruokahalua = enjoy your meal!
Haluata = to want
Minä haluaisen … = I would like to …
Peruna = potato
We also found out, that the Finnish word for “mnemonics” consist of the same two words, like the german translation (donkey & bridge = Aasintilta = Eselsbrücke). It was difficult for me, to remeber the new Finnish words quickly and to pronounce them correctly, but we helped each other with some mnemonics, to remember the new words.
