Kieli

To me, the most beautiful sound of all the sounds is the Finnish language. It sounds like a steady rain on a pile of firewood. It sounds like birch trees and the bluest lakes and wood fires in the snow and I want to be part of it so desperately. I want to create those beautiful sounds but when I open my mouth a dying hyena comes out instead and I swear it will never happen for me, even after all this time, all this trying.

  2. Your finnish is SO good!! Stop criticizing yourself so much, although I loved the “dying hyena”-comparison a lot… :) If it helps think of my “apothecary”-pronunciation problems!

    1. Kiitos, ystäväni! <3 I feel like I should be much better by now than I am. I need to stop being so shy to talk Finnish with you on Skype!
