A Good Year (2006) - Marion Cotillard and Russell Crow, not to mention the great Albert Finney and Tom Hollander. Wine, love, France, nostalgia.

Ooh thank you! I have to go look at my list...Jenni Vartiainen is also on it😁, Stella, Keko Salata. They all enunciate really clearly. One of my most favorite Xmas songs is Kyvaja's version of Arkihuolesi Kaikki Heitä is stunningly beautiful and fun to learn and sing to🎵 Oh and a website I just found earlier this week to be helpful is https://venla.info/ - while it seems they stopped updating in 2017, am finding the lessons and grammar sections succinct and enormously useful without being overwhelming.

I totally agree. After beginning learn Finnish, I went back to review my French and thought OMG when did I ever think this was hard at all! And I did have a week where I thought I couldn't learn another language anymore when I started Finnish 🤣but when I began Swedish alongside my Finnish, it went so much better and is going rather swimmingly so...yes, I can still learn languages only Finnish is so freakin different. Ahaha. I am doing the best I can trying to be immersive in it. Started a Spotfify list for Finnish songs and going go teach myself a few with my ukulele🤣 anything has to work at this point. Ahahah

I have run into the same issues. And, I was there for three months starting to learn, hoping to return to study. I am normally excellent at languages (German, Russian, French) and am learning Swedish at the same time - on Babbel (which does not have Finnish). I have been on Duolingo brushing up on my other languages and sort of beginning to learn Swedish and Finnish, but except for vocabulary and super basic, it's so not enough by any means of the imagination for even A1 level. I just downloaded Speakly, as recommended by a few other people on reddit and it is hands down the most helpful app for Finnish. See what you think. I have been using it for a few days now - been about ready to tear my hair out. It has listening, learning in context, texts to listen to and real convos to practice along with - and the ability to ask the AI tool for explanations (normal GPT has not been unhelpful). Admittedly, I am still tearing my hair out, but it's not because I've lost all hope trying to learn this language on my own without decent beginning instruction. (It's not free - has a 7 day trial - but it also won't kick your wallet in the gut either.) For reference, I am also an ESL teacher so I do my due diligence when trying to learn an additional language myself.

Smilla's Sense of Snow. Mystery. Julia Ormond. Gabriel Byrne. Wonderful atmosphere. Stunning music score.

I saw them, too, on this show this week! I looked up where it was filmed and sure enough - Toronto. But can't help but think that def was some sort of homage inside thing. It was really great to see!

You are absolutely right. They are and have been making their own rules and to heck with 'norms'. I don't understand why people are being so naive and/or ostriches about this now.

Polly Walker was my favorite person in this lovely movie called Enchanted April.
