kis'sa

so that's the Finnish word for "cat". i think i spelled it correctly. i'm not sure about that, though. i've been learning a little Finnish from a friend by rote oral memorization. eventually, i'll get into the grammar of it, but first i need to get the hang of the pronounciation, and catch the pattern of speech. i'm hoping that once i have about 50 words in my vocabulary, i'll be able to pick up on the grammar with out too much difficulty. i figure by then, the pattern of speech will be fairly appearant. Spanish only took me about 20 or 30 words. German took me learning to read it to realize that i knew the pattern, and a lot of the grammar. any way, since no one really reads this any way, i don't really mind sounding a bit over bearing. that, and the fact that any one who knows me knows of the ease with which i learn languages, and that it's one of the few things in which i am truly confident. other wise, i put on a good show of confidence. i think that's it for now.
