I am a teacher, entrepreneur and mother living in Hämeenlinna. I have a company called Kurkilaakso. (Kurkilaakso does <b>not</b> mean<i> Cucumber Valley,</i> despite what the machine translators say. Kurki is a bird, a crane.) I give Finnish lessons online for individuals and companies. I am a nature lover. I spend a lot of time in nature with my family: I walk, run, ski, snowshoe, pick berries and mushrooms. I also like birds. Maybe you'll find that out when you visit my website <a href="https://www.kurkilaakso.fi/en/home">www.kurkilaakso.fi</a>.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br />What kind of teacher are you?</h3><br />I always like to see the students as individuals. I'm interested in what they like, what they can do and what language skills they need. I also think I am really practical. I like to teach grammar, but I'm always thinking, in which communication situation the student needs the structure. Like language teachers in general, I'm interested in different languages and I often ask students, how they express something in their mother tongue. I am also a French teacher, so French is the foreign language I know best. I also speak English and Swedish and I have studied Italian, Spanish, Estonian, Hungarian and Latin. I have experience of very different schools. I have taught Finnish as a second language in integration education, vocational school and in all grades of comprehensive school. The youngest pupils have been 6 years old and the oldest learners 60 years old. I am rich to have been able to teach so many people from so many countries!<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h4><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br />What would you say to someone who wants to learn Finnish?</h3><br />Don't give up! There are lots of new things in the beginning, but gradually you'll learn a new language system. You only learn to speak by speaking, so try to get new words into your mouth right away. Say them out loud, talk to a friend, a spouse, a child or even a cat. Read texts aloud. Ask your friends and colleagues to speak Finnish to you and speak Finnish to them too. Remember that mistakes are part of learning. Tsemppiä!</div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Kiitos haastettelusta, Leena-Maija!</div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>Leena-Maijan yritys <a href="https://www.kurkilaakso.fi/" target="_blank">Kurkilaakso</a></li><li><a href="https://randomfinnishlesson.blogspot.com/2020/10/suomen-kielen-yksityisopettajia-private.html" target="_blank">Suomen kielen yksityisopettajia - Private Finnish teachers</a></li></ul><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><h3 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; margin: 0px; position: relative;"><b>About the author of Random Finnish Lesson: </b></h3><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My name is <a href="https://randomfinnishlesson.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_10.html" style="color: #ff32a9; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Hanna Männikkölahti.</a> I am a professional Finnish teacher who gives <a href="https://www.privatefinnishlessons.com/" style="color: #ff32a9; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">private online lessons</a> and simplifies books into easy Finnish<a href="https://www.privatefinnishlessons.com/selkokirjat" style="color: #ff32a9; text-decoration-line: none;">.</a><span face=""Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif"> Please read more in </span><a href="http://www.linktr.ee/hannamannikkolahti" style="color: #ff32a9; text-decoration-line: none;">www.linktr.ee/hannamannikkolahti</a> and <a href="https://follow.it/randomfinnishlesson?action=followPub." style="color: #ff32a9; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">follow this blog</a>, if you want to be the first one to know when I post something new.</span></p></div></div>Random Finnish Lesson / Hanna Männikkölahtihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17290613323919293053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269693591087704863.post-24154495321323750952024-01-15T14:00:00.008+02:002024-02-03T07:52:49.417+02:00Selkokirjaryhmä Telegramissa<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kokeilen tänä keväänä jotain aivan uutta: </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tervetuloa <b style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><a href="https://t.me/+23LDUATGvR9mZTQ0" target="_blank">Telegram-ryhmään</a>, </b>jossa saat vertaistukea (peer support) selkokirjojen lukemiseen!

I've had to think about this a bit when simplifying novels into easy Finnish. In erotic and romantic scenes, the words are usually <i>suudella</i> and <i>suudelma,</i> and the rest of the verbs and nouns are for more casual kissing and kissing kids and animals. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Kissing nouns in Finnish</h3><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Suudelma </b></h3><p><i>Suudelma</i> is the standard Finnish word for a kiss.

I was thinking about some grammar table that I had on my laptop files (I wasn't using Google Drive until I learned about if from an American Skype student in January 2014), but wasn't able to share it with any students. I had also read a book called <a href="https://gretchenrubin.com/books/the-happiness-project/">The Happiness Project</a>, which encouraged to start a blog because "mastering a new technology boosts happiness." I thought about the name for a while, probably googled some platforms, and ended up starting a blog on Google's Blogger. And here we are.</div><div><br /></div><div>(This is my very first post: <a href="https://randomfinnishlesson.blogspot.com/2012/08/tehda.html">https://randomfinnishlesson.blogspot.com/2012/08/tehda.html</a> I have edited it at some point, and I should edit it again.) <br /><br />I'm happy that I chose the name<i> Random Finnish Lesson,</i> because it is very stress free, letting me publish whatever and whenever. I sometimes edit old posts and try to make sure that all the links work.<br /><br />Lately, I've realized that I can take example sentences directly from the easy Finnish books that I've written, and perhaps someone will want to read the whole book.<br /><br />The word<i> kainalo </i>is <i>an armpit,</i> but we also use it to mean a larger area under your arm in.<br />I searched for<i> kainalo</i> in a couple of novels, and this is what I found:<h2 style="text-align: left;"><br />'Kainalo' in cuddling someone in your arms </h2><div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.privatefinnishlessons.com/juurihoito" target="_blank">Juurihoito</a>:</b></div><div><br /></div>- Sari on hieno nainen.</div><div>Olen niin onnellinen sen kanssa, <br />ja meillä on hyvä olla täällä Ronnassa, Fadi sanoo<br />ja <span style="background-color: #fcff01;">ottaa Sarin <b>kainaloonsa.</b><br /></span><br /><i>- Sari is a fine woman. <br />I'm so happy with her, <br />and it's good for us here in Ronna, says Fadi <br />and takes Sari<b> into his arms. </b></i><br /><br /><b><br /></b></div><div><b><a href="https://www.privatefinnishlessons.com/numeroruuhka" target="_blank">Numeroruuhka</a>:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Kun palattiin takaisin sisälle, <br />Paavo ja Terttu halusivat katsoa elokuvan. <br />Tehtiin popcornia <br />ja <span style="background-color: #fcff01;">Enni käpertyi <b>kainalooni</b>. <br /></span><i><br />When we came back inside,<br />Paavo and Terttu wanted to watch a movie.<br />We made popcorn<br />and Enni nestled up<b> in my arm. </b></i></div><div><i><br /></i><div><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">'Kainalo' in carrying things under your arm</h2></div><div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.privatefinnishlessons.com/numeroruuhka" target="_blank">Numeroruuhka</a>:</b></div><div><br /></div>Istuttiin rauhassa lauteilla,<br />kun saunan ovi yhtäkkiä aukesi<br />ja Pihla astui sisään.<br /><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">Sillä oli ämpäri<b> kainalossaan</b></span><br />ja se oli pukeutunut valkoiseen kaapuun, <br />joka muuttui saunan kosteudessa läpinäkyväksi. <br /><br /><i>We sat peacefully on the sauna benches,<br />when suddenly the door opened<br />and Pihla walked in.<br />She had a bucket <b>under her arm</b><br />and she was dressed in a white robe,<br />which turned transparent in the sauna humidity. </i><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.privatefinnishlessons.com/eikertonutkatuvansa" target="_blank">Ei kertonut katuvansa</a>:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>- Odottakaa, minä tulen sittenkin mukaan!
