Diary

1. 24.09.2019 One hour (1h), we made schedule for meetings and also decided the learning methods. We also talked about our goals.
2. 03.10.2019, 2.5 hours (2h and a half). Niina learned a lot about Russian culture and important facts about this country. Also we were talking about Finnish pronunciation and specific details of the language in different parts of Finland.
3. 06.10.2019, 2.5 hours (2h and a half). Lisa was exploring Finnish art in the Loft-space in Kuusankosken Taideruukki, where we could see photography and some pictures made by local artists. We have visited some really beautiful places in that district as well.
4. 10.10.2019 2 hours. Today Niina learnt Russian alphabet and pronunciation of letters. Also writing the letters (handwriting). Some basic phrases in Russian.
5. 03.11.2019 1.5 hours. Today Lisa have studied Finnish culture and some peculiar things from social life of Finnish people.
6. 07.11.2019 2 hours. Niina showed her handwriting and Lisa has checked everything (it was good, btw). We have been learning russian numbers and how to say countries and nationalities in Russian. Now the introduction is more full and Niina can introduce herself. Niina has some homework for the next time.
7. 12.12.2019 3.5 hours. Niina taught Lisa Finnish. Some basic phrases, how to oder a coffee in the caffe and not to be lost in the city. We went to the coffee place to practise new gained skills. Niina has completed the previous hometask. Now Lisa is supposed to write a presentation. We have studied some Russian as well - checked the home task and worked upon pronunciation of the presentation.
8. 15.12.19. 4.5 hours. Niina invited Lisa for cooking traditional dishes - Karjalan-paisti. We have done a grocery shopping together beforehand. Obviously, we ate it. It was tasty and delicious!
9. 16.12.2019 2.5 hours.
Today Niina was learning Russian: colours, verbs of movement. She has practised reading and translating from English to Russian. She has discovered some new things about New Year in Russia: basic phrass and traditional dish.
Lisa's introduction was checked and now she has to rewrite it. Information was useful!

We wanted to meet more times but huge differences in the schedule, illnesses and personal reasons didn't allow us to do it. However, several hours more we have spent on completing home tasks ( Lisa: I swear, to learn russian handwriting, as well as an alphabet, is not that easy!) and we kept in contact with each other during it if there were new questions to come.
