Tandem Partner and Movie Night

Meet with my language tandem partner for the first time.  She was a nurse and now a med student at the university.  She wants to learn English and I want to learn Finnish so this give us a chance to practice each others native languages and get credits.  Of course her English is much better than my Finnish, but she has been learning English since age 10.

Later I went to a movie night on campus.  They played Käki or "The Cukoo."  Very good movie about a Russian, Finn and Sami who came together by chance, none being able to speak anothers' language.  It felt very applicable to my current situation in a way.
