We have initiated a Finnish learning session plan for the summer with two Finnish speakers to help out.
Anni joined us for the first two sessions, Katariina for the other ones since her approach proved more structured. Each session is 2 hours long and involves some work in the book, some reading and some vocabulary practice.
In addition to this we have worked in the book independently as well as with worksheets to complement the sessions.
We have gone through the following by now
19.7 Body parts and movement
20.7 My room and house (furniture and rooms) Travel (vehicles, travelling verbs) and Packing (clothes)
21.7 Colours
6.7 Food and restaurants
12.7 Sukupuu, perhe, ystävät
26.7 Other countries, travel, Finland, maps
28.7 Animals on the farm
1.8 Verbs, movement and Horses (prepping for riding camp)
3.8 Horses and talking about the riding camp
5.8 Baking and Repetition
In addition to this the girls have attended a one week long riding camp from 1.8 – 5.8 for 15hrs where the main instruction language is Finnish.
