(#2) The second week

I have been really busy lately and haven`t even tried to continue my blog, but now I want to progress so I make myself do some writing work.

The hot topic of the second week which everybody writes about is the phone conversation exercise. I feel a bit a awkward sometimes on the phone, because there are so many ways to start conversation. When some unknown number appears on my phone screen, first I start to think should I even answer the phone, and if I decide to answer I think what are the first words I say. Should I state my name or just say hello and ask who`s there. That`s the way I do it with the finnish language but I can`t imagine what it would be when I do it in english. Because phones are gadgets that we use everyday, it was important to do exercise like we had that day in the second week.

I have realised that we do many pronouncion exercises and it`s fun. I have liked those exercises since grade school. Usually I like the exercises that are based on repeating after teacher. I have noticed that I concentrate most on those exercises.

In that week we also did this exercise where you must explain word to your partner and he tries to quess which word it is and the other way round. We explained medical words which are helpful in the future.
