Today we met with Helena second time and head to the Metso main library. We thought earlier that we need books so that we can learn the language better and it’s easier to explain when you have the written language in front of you. I borrowed two books; another is “Echt Geil!”, which I chose for the title too, and another is German for Travellers. Helena told me that “geil” means horny in German and I thought that it’s so funny that is name of the book :D. (apparently echt geil is also something like “so cool”)
We decided to start with some basics like “Guten Morgen/Tag/Nacht! (good morning/day/night) and “Grüß Gott!” (also greeting) it means something like “good from God”, which is used only in southern Germany. I learned that if you say that in north, people will think: “Why is she talking like that?”. Our session took a few hours and I found out that is the maximum for my brain to take new information at once :D. Still I learned so much new and after this learning/teaching session. We did the learning process so, that we checked the same things in German and in Finnish. I found it little bit challenging at time to time when I thought in Finnish, read in German and Finnish and talked English on top of that! It was a real language-bubblebath! 🙂 Here is some examples:
to be-verb: to speak:
Sein=to be sprechen= to speak
Ich bin = I am Ich spreche= I speak
du bist= you are du sprichst= You speak
er/sie/es ist= he/she/it is er/sie/es spricht= he/she/it speaks
wir sind= we are wir sprechen= we speak
ihr seid= you are ihr sprecht= you speak

After this intensive session we went to eat to the Hämeenpuisto. There was World Food Festival and I wanted to eat something German. I chose bratwurst with bun and mustard and it was delicious! i even ordered in German: “Ein Bratwurst mit semmel, bitte.” And Helena told me that I have a good pronunciation and I was very happy to get what I ordered in German!
“Guten Appetit!”
“Lehrbuchen.”
