Not bad. My sister once visited Kalahari and she sent me a post card. It came the next sarurday.

Oh! I thought it meant you were an environmental guardian (taking care to recycle and be as green as you can).

And Krabo is right about Enviro being friendly. It was in the Last Person to post wins game last fall that I started noticing Enviro's gentle comments and nice posts.
I came late to these threads so I just jumped into the chat. I'll fix that now. Here's to Enviro!

This morning, I met with a bear. We met. Eye to eye. He told me, go away. --
Just woke up. What did I say? Bear? Rather a bear than a wolverine. They are dangerous.

One ran away from a zoo. They are an issue in the north. Sheesh, I need a drink,

How do you have warm vodka? Wouldn't it be getting cold there by now? And if it's not yet, don't you have a jääkaappi?

(I still speak no Finnish, but I have learnt lots of words. I just can't put them together yet) :roll:

So if you have jääkaappi why is your vodka lämmin?

By the way, I looked at Russian yesterday: Я женщина. я ем хлеб. 8)

What?? Are you sure??

They didn't have a Russian course yet on Duolingo, so I started the one called 'English for Russian speakers' and went backwards. There was no mention of Ukraine.

I checked, the 'English for Ukranian speakers' shows as not started. 'English for Russian speakers' has the first unit completed.

I don't know what is going on. How would what I wrote look in Russian then?
