First meeting!

On Saturday 4.02 together with my girlfriend Joanna we had the first meeting with Elisa, our Finnish ‘Each one teach one’ partner in her house in Petsamo area. We did a walk from our apartment in Lapinkaari and we saw really lovely old style houses with many lights and people which were playing in ice hockey. At the beginning, she showed us around her apartment. Then she prepared some food to try something new. We tried Karjalanpiirakka rye pie filled with rice porridge and baked in the oven (you can find frozen, ready to bake-versions from food market also nowadays) and kinkku it was ham from (beef) and villisika (wild pig). We decided to not teach grammar things just words and phrases which we can use in our daily lives. We learned how to count 1-10 and teach her the same.

We want to see how Finnish people live and what they eat. We made a plan for our meetings which includes cooking together, watching Finnish and Polish movie, public sauna, cross country skiing, ice skating and shopping together.

It was really nice meeting and I look forward to the next one!
