Maahanmuuttajille.
So proud đź‘Ź I couldn't stop repeating it the whole day.
It's technically a word in Finnish but translates to a phrase in English, "for immigrants".
Today witnessed the first time I could recall and write it down correctly. It was a "wow" moment. I was surprised by myself - my brain. It worked up some magic and finally memorized this long jumble of letters.
I first saw this word on the cover of a dictionary I liked so much and already blogged about. I didn't remember exactly how long ago so I looked up the post and I was surprised again that I saw it only around June.
So, it took my brain 5 months, not to only remember the letters but also to understand why they're that way. Not bad. Ei ole pahaa.
Another cool thing I discovered from the post was that I wrote the word wrong. haha. Of course.
But I won't edit it. It's a lovely proof of my progress.đź’•
Days like this are worth being celebrated and remembered in our language learning journey. Once you've familiarized yourself with the language, you won't be able to look at it like before anymore. Like an alien language. You may miss that feeling.
The beginning always feels so precious when we look back. Even when it's usually full of struggles. We realize how capable we are. We've made it this far despite many hardships and self-doubts.
It's incredible. It's hard to believe. But it's the truth. We, language learners, are truly incredible.
