Learning Vocabulary

Spanish is much easier than Finnish for a native English speaker. You already have a large vocabulary in Spanish, because both English and Spanish have Latin roots. However, in Finnish, very few words are the same, or even similar. They are also very long. Even basic Finnish words are difficult to remember for an English speaker, because they are so long. The only way I could I could improve my vocabulary is to write the words while saying them over and over again. I didn't do this enough during the quarter, so my vocabulary is still minimal.

Also, when I message Jenni, it's much easier to remember the words after I've used them while talking to her. It seems more like a real word.
