“Finnisch mit extra Mühe” -- a group learning project (because Finnish wasn't hard enough before)

[missreadalot]

So the lovely Elenia has decided to rope me into this and so I will therefore be joining you on 1 September. I will be attempting to learn Finnish through German, even though my German is negligible. But I do love a challenge.

For the record, I'm pretty sure missreadalot is the only person I didn't rope in! She roped herself!!

Welcome aboard! This is getting very exciting. I never thought there'd be so many of us. Yuurei is going to have to stay up all night baking before the Gathering.

My German is pretty limited too. I mostly just cheat by recognizing words that are similar to Norwegian. I imagine your Afrikaans will give you a good boost too.

Woooohhhh woooohhhh woooohhh... Hold up! Not only do you have to learn Finnish in less than a year, you have to do it while using a German textbook?!?!?

Damn your drunk tests are hard!

No, of course not, don't be silly. You can also use the French version, if you prefer.

Yes, that would be very good practice for your French. Didn't you say that you were lazy and liked to learn by reading books? So, you can learn French by reading a book about learning Finnish. And then you'd end up learning two languages at once. What could be more "Lazy Fist" than that?

I just happened to mention my future language plans, that I was learning in an open group and - 'oh, you want to join? It's really easy, I'll show you how!'

Also, update: we bought our coursebook (we're sharing because we are poor)

That's exactly my plan for improving my German.
