Fourth meeting: Finland, France and Germany

Hello,

For this second meeting of the week, we continue to learn some vocabulary.

After the basic sentences and words of German and Finnish we learn family and numbers.

Numbers between 0 and 10: (French – German – Finnish)

  • 0 = Zéro (Fr) = Nuii (Ge) = Nolla (Fi)
  • 1 = Un = Eins = Yksi
  • 2 = Deux = Zwei = Kaksi
  • 3 = Trois = Drei = Kolme
  • 4 = Quatre = Vier = Neljä
  • 5 = Cinq = Fünf = Viisi
  • 6 = Six = Sechs = Kuusi
  • 7 = Sept = Sieben = Seitsemän
  • 8 = Huit = Acht = Kahdeksan
  • 9 = Neuf = Neun = Yhdeksän
  • 10 = Dix = Zehn = Kymmenen

Familly (Fr – Ge – Fi)

  • Mère = Mutter = Äiti
  • Père = Vater = Isä
  • Soeur = Schweister = Sisko
  • Frère = Bruder = Veli
  • Tante = Tante = Täti
  • Oncle = Onkel= Setä
  • Cousin(e) = Vetter = Serkku
  • Grand mère = Großmutter
  • Grand père = Großvater

I think that after these 2 meetings, we have learned lot of vocabulary.

I discovered this new letter: “ß”, a particular one from German language which looks like a “b” for French people but the way to pronounce it is really different.

For the next one, we will probably talk about food culture. It’s for French people, a very good way to talk about our culture because food is most of the time associated to France, “the country of gastronomy”. Nevertheless, I don’t really know how we are going to do because French cheese for example is really scarce here and when we can find it it’s very expensive.

I expect also that we’ll meet in a different place than TOAS City, a coziest and warmer one like a café in the city center where we don’t have the feeling to be in class but just to spend good time together.
