It took them forever to teach me the word for "then". But hey, at least I learned all about how to speak about cows.
And then never discuss the weather or any emotion other than happy.

I've been learning Finnish for nearly a year. The first phrase it taught me was "Sinä olet velho". I thought it was madness to teach me "You are a wizard". Like, when am I ever going to use that?!

Can't wait for when I bump into someone who thought dinosaurs were pets.
