Finnish

I am on fire today... Three blog posts. Last night I had a cool dream. As a missionary in Finland we always would get excited the first time we had a dream in Finnish because that meant we were getting the language and becoming fluent. The crazy language by then had dominated the sub conscious enough to be embedded in dreamland. Well last night I happened.

Like all dreams it seems so real that it was. I was convicted of something or other and sent to a really nice jail. I was however the very first person to show up at the jail so I got to pick my cell and where I wanted to stay. So I get in there and there started to be other "tenants" showing up. I started talking to them and one of them started speaking Finnish. I proceeded to ask her "Mista olet kotoisiin?" (Where are you from). We then carried on a full conversation in Finnish. I woke up and thought that was so awesome that I still had it, even if it was just in my subconscious. My accent was perfect though. I think my listening to Finnish every morning on www.lds.org is definitely helping. It keeps it fresh in my mind.

That link might be of use to you, especially if you have more dreams in Finnish. Then you can type what you say with the correct accents and such...Mistä olet kotoisiin?

Just something useful I've used when typing in Finnish.
