Seems odd that you are putting down your teachers as being biased while you make several inflammatory remarks yourself. It wasn't teachers, it was just the one teacher, and I'm stating what she *did* and *said*. She readily admitted that she didn't expect much of American students. And when I asked for an intensive Russian course, her stated reason for refusing was that we couldn't handle it and we'd fail the course. BTW: having spent considerable time in NYS, I'd like to point out the NY slang plural of you is "you guys!" You're probably right, but I tend to say "you all" because I lived in the South for 13 years, while I've only lived in NYS for 5 years. I can't remember hearing "you guys" much where I live. Maybe "you guys" is more common closer to the City? Or maybe I'm not really listening for it; I'll have to keep an ear out for it now. -- the black rose, wench with a wrench proud to be owned by a yorkie http://community.webshots.com/user/blackrosequilts |

From my Oxford dictionary: Finnish - the Finno-Ugric language spoken by the Finns Finnish is spoken by about 4.6 million people in Finland (where it is one of two official languages), and is also spoken in parts of Russia and Sweden. Closely related to Estonian and distantly related to Hungarian, it is noted for its morphological complexity: a Finnish noun can have thirteen different case-forms. -- Jo in Scotland First you must buy new dictionary because only Finland, Finnish spoken by about 5.1 million and 0.8 million Finnish spoken move Finland 1960-2004. Finnish spoken more that parts Russia and Sweden, North Norway is old finnish area (FINNMARK). USA Hancock michigan streetnames two languages english and finnish, Alaska area fishermans, is radio channel spoken finnish only. Canada and Australia finnish paper and internet site. Why finnish speak old country language, is they living near other finnish. Finnish say " only possible separate finnish is death and police" |
