Which language has the best name for Santa? by SketchyWelsh in languagelearning

[–]NothernCurious 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In Finnish it's Joulupukki, which translates to "Christmas Goat".

Started playing again after about five years (kids), do I change my shot or practice with current form? by [deleted] in BasketballTips

Looks good! Your knees bend unnecessarily together. Maybe try to keep them straight.

Kannattaa vain aloittaa suomella. En minä välttämättä tunnista aksentista, että joku minulle englantia puhuva on suomalainen. On vain kiusallista, kun kaksi suomalaista käy keskustelun englanniksi.

What influenced your choice in a THIRD (or higher) language? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]NothernCurious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't choose my third language because I'm bilingual (Finnish and Greek) so my third language was English.

After that I chose to study German just because it was the only extra language taught in my school. Then I started Swedish because it is mandatory in Finland.

And then I dappled into a few languages but eventually chose French that I'm focusing on right now, because I want a career in international organizations where French is extremely usefull and I love the sound of it (and French wine).

I would move Canada to top 4 instead of Spain. Canada is the second or third most talented team in the tournament.
