Food in March

Now than we have learned all about the Christmas, polite words and colours in the language of our partners, we are going to spend more time studying the numbers from one to sixteen. This month we are also going to write letters to our partners telling them some key words about food. We are going to exchange some basic words and learn them in the language of our partners. These words are:



milk, fish, bread, water, meat, butter, cheese, sugar


With these words I shall let here follow a picture which shows how some of the disabled children can express themselves: It says I wish to have an orange.

There are many other ways that disabled children can "talk" and it could be useful for us all to talk about this and find out what other ways there are.

Since our friends, the Hungarians, could not be with us, it occurred to me to let you know these words also in Hungarian. You have perhaps heard that Finnish and Hungarian are related languages. When you have got the Finnish words, you can compare them. Do you find similarities?

tej (milk), hal (fish), kenyér (bread), víz (water), hús (meat), vaj (butter), sajt (cheese), cukor (sugar)

With greetings from Digranesskóli
