First Meeting: spanish breakfast

Hello or Hola,

in our first meeting our group decided to meet for a famous spanish breakfast called “tostada con tomate”. Not only did Fedra show us how it is made, we also talked about typical breakfasts in our home countrys. Furthermore we talked about the ingredients in the different languages. It contains white bred, tomatoes, olive oil and salt. Another big part of the meeting was listening to mostly dutch music.

We had a lot of fun and it was very delicious (even though its not the best picture!).

Blog10: Internet and tech savy people: Today Myko came with a friend to hook up my internet connection. I received the modem in the mail but I didn't know how to connect this without Myko's help. I learned so many new Vietnamse words that I added to my book. She explained a lot about Vietnamese culture and the role of women and the role of women in Europe. It was so interesting and important for me to recognize my privilege and predisposition as a Canadian female, we laughed and had so many complications with the modem but finally Myko got it to work. Myko taught me so much today about being strong and pursuing your dreams as a mother and a woman. I was able to exchange services and help Myko to pronounce her words more clearly and we looked through my lonely planet travel book that I have been dreaming of making a reality. We talked a lot about the possibilities of future travel together. I learn so much from her on a day to day basis. Her strength inspires me and makes me less afraid of my own. I am happy now that I internet and a dear friend who knows so much about so many different things.

Blog 9: Finance and business: Today we walked and talked about the business ideas that we have to open a sandwich shop. I learned the words money, bank and dreams in Vietnamese. We had a fantastic walk and discussed so much that I barely remember to take notes on my Vietnamese but luckily we were able to revise my new financial vocabulary later on the tram home. Dong is the word for money and I think now that I have been able to collect so many Vietnamese words over these last weeks that I will try to book a trip to Vietnam so that I remember everything that I have learned. Walking and talking about finances made me realize how lucky we are in Finland that we dont have to pay for education. In Canada as well as Vietnam, it is very expensive to study but this how now created a new business idea for Myko and I. We have so much to learn and discover about one another. This was a lovely brisk walk!

Blog 8: Vegetables and Beef, important words in Vietnam: Today I learned the words for onion and carrot as well as beef and chicken. The improvement in both of our pronunciations has surpassed my expectations. We went around the table and Myko pointed out all the different names of the vegetables. I repeated many times and started to think that I might get the hang of this language very soon. Myko taught me how to use different verbs like eat and walk and talk. The verbs in different tenses was quite fun, we laughed a lot as my pronunciations made no real consistent sense. Now I can list the food that I eat and say that I am hungry, tired and or am going for a walk. I feel like I learned so much today. I have expanded my vocabulary and took action on pronouncing full sentences with the new verbs that I have learned. I feel confident that I could definitely go to a restaurant and order a Pho soup!
