i've told this story 100 times but the first thing in my finnish language book was "how to read the alphabet", and johanna said, "why do you need to learn letter sounds -- finnish sounds the way it's spelled"

Agemixer (02:36:09)
buttser. jatss

i also had trouble with the 'y' sound which isnt' in english, but i got over it (same as in french "deja vu")

mirrorbird (02:35:12)
haha.

mirrorbird (02:35:11)
not really, finnish spelling is transparent, you only have to learn the letter sounds. no bullshit. except Buzzer and "jazz"

Agemixer (02:34:37)
that's a rare capability for an english you know!

mirrorbird (02:34:35)
Agemixer: he's not Buzzer he's BOOTSER

mirrorbird (02:34:08)
nobody can say that about english, we designed our spelling like a Minesweeper game
