I speak: German, Estonian, English and learn: Finnish, Northern Sámi, Norwegian My native language is German. Besides that, I'm also fluent in Estonian and can (at least more or less) express myself in English, too. ;D I used to learn French for quite some years in school as well, but never liked it too much. Hence I already forgot most of what I learned back then. Right now I'm learning Finnish and Northern Sámi. Learning Finnish is great, I feel that I'm making progress and I also have lots of chances to use it (my Finnish course, Finnish friends, trips to Finland etc). For Sámi it's the opposite. I'm sort of a total beginner and learning it on my own, using a textbook and some internet resources. I'd like to find a native speaker to torture whenever I come up with questions... or just try to talk to. But somehow it's not that easy to find any Sámi speakers. maybe this will help you www.e-skuvla.no/en/portfolio/north-sami/or www.samernas.se/ (http://www.eng.samer.se/servlet/GetDoc?meta_id=1261 writes this about it: The Sami Education Centre is a folk high school in Jokkmokk with a very long tradition. It was established back in 1942 and is owned by a foundation comprising SSR (the National Association of Swedish Sami), Same Ätnam and Jokkmokk Municipality. At the Centre you can study duodji (handicrafts), the Sami language, as well as courses in business, nature and social studies. Short courses and distance learning are also available.) Hope this helps you a bit

*jumps in* Honey, I'm home! Bad: Spent way too much time with the wrong people lately. Realized too late they had a huge problem with me "being totally different in my behaviour and opinions". Hm, still don't know what I should think about that.... Only one way to deal with that is to follow your feeling. If it doesn't feel good in your gut then it's a big chance that it isn't, after all your happiness should be taken #1 before anything else. But being in that position is sometimes hard to see what to do. Taking some distance and not directly thinking about the problem usually helps, and your mind will come to the right decision. Good: Finally have fun things to look out for next saturday and april 18th Bad: Had to pass up a birthday of a good friend today because I didn't feel that great, luckily I will see she next saturday, and will make it up to her

Have been very lazy by not posting my already finished ones still have around 4-5 ones finished that are not posted here. But here's one of them First sentence of this is a question I asked my mother when I was 9 years old. So am very happy I've been able to write a piece that goes with it
Innerself
I am who I am, but who is the I that I am? It has no official name other then the one given to it's exterior shell. Some are calling it soul, concious or intuition, but all names are part of a larger being. It has no voice, other then the one many often choose to ignore. It has no physical strength, other then the strength it's shell has. It has no face, but still shows it's face when being listened to. It's a part of you, you know little about yet it knows all about you. Neither can exist without the other; What happens if it does remains a everlasting mystery. More questions then answers

Oh, folks! I was in the hospital because of a Biliary colic, this was the worst pain I've ever had! They say I should remove the gallbladder. Oh, I don't want that! But I don't want to experience this pain never again! So, I need an surgery soon... hopfully you'll feel better soon no matter what you decide to do I agree with socke I don't like doctors and hospitals either, only going there as a last resort and even then I'm going reluctantly. Good/Bad: Our queen just gave a speech on national television saying she's resigning as our queen after 33 years of service. She's officially handing over her duties to our crown prince on April 30th which happens to be the date on which we celebrate Koninginnedag (Queensday) Good: My work contract will be renewed after March Finally giving me the chance to save up money for my driver's licence

Good: Just came back from my belated b-day present my aunt gave me Evening to the movies with her as long the movie wouldn't be horror(which happens to be one of my fav genres ;D) But I choose Cloud Atlas as a replacement because 1. I couldn't choose horrormovie and 2. I really wanted to see it anyway. And in my eyes a recommendation to all, it's a big movie to digest it in just one sit so I'll be seeing it another time soon. For those not familiar with the movie here's the trailer
It gave me some new insights for instances a month or so back, I was sitting downstairs with me parents watching tv; And out of nowhere my mother suggested I should bundle my poems(klaanish songs) into a book for publishing without her even read a single one of them(I won't let her).
And after seeing this movie I wanted to know how she came to that idea, she saying it was a thought that welled up in her mind. And this sentence from the movie: all boundaries are conventions waiting to be transcended kept floating in my head after hearing that.
Thinking back I might have reacted to hastily shooting down her thought/idea with the answer No. Just because I have not written them for that purpose that doesn't mean that maybe this is a boundary waited to be transcended. Maybe I should put more thought into the idea before making a decision

Good: Gwynni is very well. She´s that cute and naughty I can´t believe she´s almost 16 years old and ill... I´m so glad about every day she is that silly 16 years is a very nice age for cats and good to see she still hasn't lost her playfulness Good: Hexentanz festival's line-up is known and fairly sure(99%) I'm ordering tickets for it. Even better it's a damn good excuse to order tickets since Hexentanz is in Losheim so I can plan a side trip to Merzig in order to see my not so little wolf cubs again Haven't seen them in 18months now, they should be around the age of maturity by now. First day out@ age 2months sharing enclosure with another European wolf @ age 7½months. To bad I wasn't there to see them in their new enclosure L to R Moos, Tatjana Schneider, Huka, Lars(2yrs)
