Despite the headline, everything went well. :)

It's so exciting to get started again!

We started this course with a group activity called "Getting to know one another". Even though the group members know each other pretty well already, it's always nice to get the chance to talk about yourself, isn't it?

Then we started dealing with Chapter 14 in the book. The topic of this chapter is "Small talk and huomour".

Exercise 1: Warm-up (p.146)
Answers:

chat jutella
jabber pälpättää

Next week we'll do exercises 3 - 4 on pages 148-149, among other things.

See you next week!
