Well, the English lessons for the Polish flatmate are coming along nicely. His vocabulary is steadily increasing, and he can now conjugate "to be" and "to have" in the present tense. We'll be reading Pride & Prejudice by March. I think he'll really identify with the Bennet sisters. Elizabeth Bennet, in particular.
This week I started Finnish classes. Two of the three other students speak better Finnish than I do, which is a definite plus. That way I can steal vocabulary from their brains. This week I learned the word "halla" which is Finnish for "summer night frost", which has been known to ruin a crop of grain, or two.
