A slightly different learning unit took place in our Meeting # 5: Instead of holding it as usual at the table and armchair in a cozy environment, we decided to do this unit on the bike. We took advantage of the warm spring-like weather on the Thursday afternoon before Palm Sunday to go looking for Easter eggs all over the city of Tampere. Said and done! – On our way across the city, we particularly attached importance to terms in the outdoor area, which had to do with bicycles and pedestrians. So after a short time I received the directions only in Finnish, such as turning: left = vasen (to the left = vasenmalle), right = oikea (to the right = oikella), straight ahead = suoraan In a playful way, I learned a wide variety of terms from everyday life. We also discussed the following terms: bike path = pyöratie, pedestrian path = kävelytie, street = auto-tie, motorway = moottoritie, bicycle = pyöra, safe path = suojatie and also the term ambulance = ambulanssi, in the hope that this will not be the case having to call for help on the next bike tour.
