However, my Finnish cousins are so proud of me for trying….and I have met
such delightful and patient young Finnish women who have encouraged me.
Every time I get really discouraged, and think this is a folly, I find I can actually
understand something such as a page from a 1906 Almanakka, which shows the
ship my grandfather arrived on in New York (in 1903). Then, I am re-energized!
I am all ready for the second session of lessons at our Koulu…..and will continue
my brain games for a long while to come (even if I am a tongue tied as ever and
still am lousy at rolling an “r”!).
