Duolingo Progress - spotlight on Finnish

Making progress with Zulu, Irish, Russian, Esperanto, Romanian, Czech, Danish, Hebrew, Italian, Vietnamese,  Spanish.

Can you recognise any words that I learned?

I am doing better at Hawaiian and Brazilian Portuguese.

Can you translate any of these words to English or your target langauge?

I am interested to learn Finnish. So far, the first Finnish word that I have come across in English is sauna.  It seems the Finns invented the sauna.

Finnish -	Minulla on ystävä, jolla on kolme kissaa

Part of speech	Translation
	English - I have a friend who has three cats

 Reflection: Most Finnish words don't remind me of English or another language that I am learning.  But I like kissaa for cats.  It makes me think of kitty.

Duolingo Progress with Navajo & Hawaiian

 Spotlight on Navajo

I have been slowly working on Navajo, a native American language.  I love that Duolingo is including endangered languages as well as commonly spoken language at have lots of speakers as a second language. I am looking forward to when Duolingo adds Maori soon.

Navajo - shizhe'é hóló (a dad I have)

Part of speech holo	Translation
	English - I have a dad.

 Reflection: 'holo' goes at the end of the sentence.

   Spotlight on Hawaiian

I first tried Japanese in year 6 at primary school.  My older sister was learning it at high school and later during her university. I was homeschool by my mum that year.  I found her hiragana flash cards to learn while I was sitting in the splits.  Trying to multi task, so I would be distract from the discomfort of stretching my legs to deepen my split while sitting on a pile of phone books with sharp corners.

I can see now that I am in my thirties the knowledge has stayed with me, so I have remembered the first part of hiragana and now need to work on the next years with the double lines ( i think they are called tentens) and the little circles used to make the other syllables like ta -> da, and ka -> ga etc.

Hawaiian - He kumu'o Kéhau.

English - Kehau is a teacher.

 Reflection: I wonder if the name goes at the end of the sentence because the teacher is the subject.
