Learn with Video #21 - Did You Know Learning Finnish is Considered a Sport…Sometimes?

Summary: Learn Finnish with FinnishPod101.com! Now you have friends in your city...so what are you going to do with them? You are anxious to see some of the city before you have to start school at the Finnish university, and definitely before you have to start working! So you call them up on the phone and ask if they want to spend the day showing you around town. They are excited to do something fun and you all decide to meet at the park around the corner. When you arrive, your friends ask in Finnish, "Do you like to play any sports? We could play around at the park for a while...or maybe head to the gym." You played a lot of sports back home, but as much as you have studied Finnish, you didn't learn how to talk about sports. You attempt to imitate a soccer player kicking a ball, but it takes several minutes before your friends catch on and teach you the Finnish word for soccer. But now they know the game you are playing - charades! The next one you try to act out is a tennis player hitting a ball. And you thought soccer took a long time to guess?! By the time you get through acting out soccer, tennis, golf, and basketball - and they teach you the Finnish words for these sports, you are so worked out you just want a nap.
