Such a lovely vlog! 🥰 I had a fresh mango only once in my life (when I was in Germany) and it was luckily cut by my boyfriend. I would’ve probably butchered it 😅 but it is soooo tastyyy. 🤭 also, Sidney at the end is just adorable! 😻
Kat, you mentioned understanding 30% of the BTS concert. Have you studied Korean? BTW, I understood the sign on the gate at the winter garden--the Swedish part, that is! And I've never studied Swedish! (I have studied some Finnish--yet the Finnish part was totally incomprehensible to me.) I dunno if you've studied any educational psychology. I always had trouble in language class when I was younger--my teachers expected me to just understand things without having studied it in an extensively analytical way, and I just couldn't do it (although other students in my class could). Then when I was in my mid-50's, I started understanding simple (I stress, SIMPLE!) Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese (I have studied German and French formally). Oh, if I only could have had my 50-year-old brain when I was a teenager! (Of course, my teenage brain had advantages over my 50-year-old brain in other ways.) As a psych major, do you have any insights on this?
I guess she learned little bit if you watched her old vedio ( 5-6 years) You will find She also made a video about korean testing Finnish tongue twister and she tried korean tongue twister
Yep, I learned to read hangeul (the Korean writing system) from a short comic in about 15 minutes 5-6 years ago as Prahlad Mishra commented. I used to live with a few Koreans for a couple years during university so picked up on it through them too! But I've not taken any formal classes or actively studied it seriously. Here people tend to say that Swedish is a mix of Finnish and English (also Swedish has a lot of similar words to English making it easier to guess the meaning of words). Everyone has slightly different ways of learning that make things "click" for them. Some people seem to absorb things by just listening and using, while some need to analyze language a bit more in depth to comprehend it better. Maybe as you got older you had more experiences with language to draw on and make connections with - but this is just pure speculation on my part drawn from the little you've shared with me :)
@@KatChats. I understand the basic gist of hangul, in that I understand how the syllables are built up in little blocks out of letters, but I haven't learned the letters. Swedish is a mix of Finnish and English? Ha ha! That's some pretty bad historical linguistics--but I'm sure the people who say that aren't serious. As I study Finnish, I keep seeing what appear to me to be traces of German influence, but I'm sure it's actually Swedish influence for the most part. I just mistake it so because I'm familiar with German and unfamiliar with Swedish--but Swedish and German are similar enough that I can see the Swedish influence in Finnish without knowing Swedish.
So the air-raid sirens are tested on the first Monday of every month in Finland and Sweden, eh? That sounds like something an enemy could exploit--launching an attack at the known time of a drill.
In theory I guess so? But the sirens only last 5 seconds max so I would assume in a real attack they wouldn't shut off at all. Hopefully this won't need to find out though!!
@@KatChats. Good to know. Actually, I'm sure the military leaders of Finland and Sweden have thought of this, which probably accounts for the five second duration of the test.
Hahah well it was screening live so it was evening Korea time xD And regarding Korean I learned to read hangeul (the Korean writing system) from a short comic in about 15 minutes 6 ish years ago (at the start of my undergrad whenever that was lol). I used to live with a few Koreans for a couple years during university so picked up on it through them too! But I've not taken any formal classes or actively studied it seriously. :)
@@KatChats. oh, very interesting :) I guess it's not easy for a European to learn their writing system and their sounds... Actually, I am not taking any formal Finnish classes too - I'm just using Duolingo and watch your videos😀
For the how to eat mangoes I would probably just cut 2 times to have 1 hard core & 2 slices of the soft ones for the hard core part just bite it and the soft parts I would cut multiple straight and horizontal lines to have a kind of ＃ shape on them and squish them out like the first method in this video (although it's in Chinese but you could get it) ruclips.net/video/4d5ie9ey4aQ/видео.html
Ok thank you, I'll keep this tip in mind!! :D Also thanks for linking the video, at least there they made it look easy xD Fingers crossed for next time haha!
Passion fruit, eh? I had passion fruit yogurt once, and I thought it was absolutely delicious--but I've never seen an actual passion fruit in my life before. It just goes to show that you can't get everything you want in the USA unless you live in a big city. I can't even get the yogurt here any more.
Yes they are super tasty! The actual fruit is mostly crunchy seeds with flavor. So the texture is quite different to yoghurt/juice and other things you can make out of passion fruit. Too bad they stopped selling the yoghurt there though!
Thank u for sharing it.
Happy for u💜
Aw thank you so much ^-^
Oh wow, we have the same thing on the first Monday of the month. I always get startled a little bit. Especially last Monday on the 7th! 😮
Yes especially recently! Totally can relate. Didn't know they had it there too, they must have it in quite a few European countries then!
Wow, so good to see your vlog from Helsinki. So nice to see snow here now. :)
Hahah yes still lots of snow xD
love your channel 😍👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I also went to the bts cinema concert! (In Spain)
Oh wow did you?! What did you think of the show?
Keep going on...we like to hear your story...
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
I can see lots of people came just from the background 😜
Hahahah xD
Quite chilly? Is that Finnish for it's 60 degrees below freezing? 😁
Hahahah!! Hopefully not in March anymore xD

Oh lucky you had someone to do it for you 🤭 Thank you so much for watching and for the super lovely comment. Hope you can eat more mangoes soon!! :D

Our tornado sirens are tested every Saturday at noon. 😅
Wow tornado sirens! And weekly too 😂
Oh my 10:45 AM! crazy, so early for Saturday!
Yeah, asking too - did you learn Korean?
Hahah well it was screening live so it was evening Korea time xD And regarding Korean I learned to read hangeul (the Korean writing system) from a short comic in about 15 minutes 6 ish years ago (at the start of my undergrad whenever that was lol).

@@KatChats. So with all the seeds, does the passion fruit bear some similarity to the pomegranate?
That looks like it's freezing in Helsinki, haha. Try this video for mango cubes Kat:
ruclips.net/video/Qm8GWLkdjYE/видео.html
Yeah it went back to negative degrees Celsius that day! D:
Also thanks a TON! That video gives me hope maybe I can do better next time hahah!
@@KatChats. Brrrrrr too cold 🥶 Looking forward to the video you will share with us your 'upgraded' mango slicing and dicing skills 😂
@@peacekeepermoe Hhahah love it xD
