Finnish

The finnish language is so difficult:-( But I try to use it as often as I can. Today I took a placement test for a continuation finnish course. But I wasn't able to negate the konditionaali (the finnish language doesn't only have 15 grammatical cases, but they also conjugate the negation particle as a verb)...
I also take part in the ALICE program: Academic Language and InterCultural Exchange. German and Finnish students teach each other their language and culture! Because there were more interested Finnish students, I have now two nice Finnish tandem partners. Laura studies German and Emmi studied in Berlin during the last year so that both of them are extremely good at German and we can discuss about complicated topics. On the other hand, they will teach me Finnish and talk with me about simple topics of the Finnish life. Tomorrow we are going to meet in a café for the first time and I am looking forward to practicing Finnish and learning about the culture in such a relaxed and self-determined way :-)
