A new blog for ALMS course....
ALMS = Autonomous Learning Modules - ALMS; The keystones of autonomous learning are reflection and self-evaluation.
Tonight I enjoyed my almost only (at least nowadays) hobby: Chinese Ink Painting. It resembles almost a short retreat (working in silence), because everyone concentrates on their painting so hard that they do not have any time for blabbering... How I do enjoy that! Besides that actual painting, of course ;) Todays topic was "red-crowned cranes" 丹顶鹤, looks so easy to paint, but... Why it is always so tough to get the proportions right?
In the aspect of this English course the painting serves in one way: the teacher (Chinese who has lived in Finland already about 20 years) speakes "Finglish" - a mixture of Finnish (poor) and English (better). He'd prefer to teach in English (or Chinese..) but there is always somebody who wants instructions in Finnish. I started painting with him about five years ago and still the beak of a bird is called "ruoka" (=food). Almost every time someone corrects him: it's "nokka"... but he never learns, it is not important enough? Well, anyway, I don't care. I just relax.
It is already midnight and yet I haven't done my homework for tomorrow mornings Chinese lesson.. so.
'till the next time.
