Honestly good for you taking the plunge into the language lessons, there are so many plateaus in learning a language and each one is a personal hell!! (At least in my experience!) but the light at the end of the tunnel is so tempting/desirable. ALSO that additional gender sign on the bathroom is diabolical 🤣 gonna be hard not to take that personally?
Mate, thanks for this. I totally agree. The plateaus!! I really feel that. Ive only just started learning again properly of course but it feels like I understand the rules etc but actually “performing” is something else entirely. It feels like being an expert sport commentator v the actual sportsperson (if that makes sense). And yes, there's something up with these toilet signs…
I just finished a class in Italian. Obviously, alot easier than Finnish. I had 3 youn g guys from Switzerland in the class with me who totally ignored me. It was awkward and yes, I am alot older than these boys. The difficulty was that they spoke so quietly. I couldn't hear the answers they gave and they all spoke 4 languages as well. At one point even the teacher asked them strongly to speak up. Good experience though yet, I wish they put older people together. I didn't feel out of my league but, only out of touch with the guys.

I know what you mean about softly spoken people. I've had to work very heard to hear others this week as well.
Those signs were confusing! 😆
THANK YOU
Bless. But, tit whisperer.
Once they realised I had no food they left me. It was upsetting.
