”ALICE – what a sweet name” – Kielikeskuksen akateeminen kieli- ja kulttuurivaihto

Osallistuin viime keväänä Kielikeskuksen ALICE-kurssille. Kyseessä on kurssi, joka kehittää  kulttuurintuntemusta ja syventää kielitaitoa – avainsanana autenttisuus. Kurssin rakentuu kahdelle eri äidinkieltä puhuvalle opiskelijalle, jotka asettavat itsenäisesti yhteiset tavoitteensa ja aikataulunsa. Kurssisuoritus muodostuu vapaamuotoisesta oppimispäiväkirjasta, joka kirjoitetaan kohdekielelle. Sivun lopusta löytyy lisätietoa kurssista ja ilmoittautumista.

Ohessa kokemuksiani ja fiiliksiäni ALICE-kurssista. Ranskankieliset pätkät ovat otteita oppimispäiväkirjastani. Parini Johnny teki oman oppimispäiväkirjansa nettisivujen muotoon, ja hänen kokemuksistaan voi lukea englanniksi oheisen linkin kautta: http://finnish-logbook.johnnyyuge.eu/diary. Sieltä poimin tämän kirjoituksen otsikonkin!

******************************************************************************************

« C’était un lundi après-midi en plein milieu d’hiver. Il avait à peine neigé, il faisait froid et noir. Je ne trouvais Johnny nulle part. Toute à l’heure, il s’était décrit: « J’ai un béret et un manteau noir complet ». Voilà enfin que je l’ai vu à travers de la fenêtre devant l’entrée de la bibliothèque. Nous avons fait connaissance. Nous avons discuté sur ce que nous faisions, ce que nous étions, ce que nous aimions dans la vie. J’étais contente d’avoir trouvé un binôme qui se passionne pour la musique comme moi…» (Première rencontre avec mon binôme Johnny, le 12 février)

Odottelin Kaisa-talon aulassa ja pyörittelin peukaloitani. Johnny oli ensimmäisen tapaamisen kunniaksi myöhässä puolisen tuntia – syyksi paljastui väärä bussipysäkki. Ce n’est pas bien grave, enfin, pour la première fois… Seuraavien muutaman kuukauden kuluessa opin tottumaan – ja lopulta vastahakoisesti hyväksymään – jatkuvan myöhästelyn. Baskeri päässä sekä aina vähintään 20 minuuttia myöhässä… Mais quel cliché… ?! 

Tämänkaltaisia pieniä kulttuurieroja kohtasin usemman kerran enemmän  tutustuttuamme. Heti ensitapaamisesta näin kuitenkin, että kyseessä oli hyvä tyyppi: utelias, avoin ja mukava. Johnny oli muusikko ja vannoutunut haaveilija. Suomeen hän oli halunnut tulla varta vasten, koska rakasti lunta ja tiesi voivansa opiskella Erasmus-vaihdon aikana ohjelmointia.

Ensimmäisten tapaamisten lomassa sovittiin yhteistä tavoitteistamme ja niistä asioista, joita erityisesti Johnny haluaisi kevään aikana Helsingissä kokea. Minulle Helsinki oli jo tuttu muutaman vuoden asumisen jälkeen, ja kaipasinkin vähän ”turistin” silmiä näkökulmaani virkistämään. Helmikuussa tapaamiset liittyivät muun muassa Ranskan Instituutissa vierailuun ja ranskalaisista elokuvista keskusteluun, jäällä kävelyyn sekä suomen kielen alkeiden opetteluun. Johnny oli kotoisin Lyonista ja kertoi pitävänsä Helsingistä erityisesti sen ilmaston vuoksi (Lyon oli aivan liian kuuma kuulemma…). En tiedä oliko se sitten sen vuoksi, kun hän kulki usein katuja pitkin takki auki, hanskat hukassa ja vain baskeri tuulen suojana…

« Grâce au groupe d’Alice sur Facebook, nous avons pu saisir l’opportunité de faire de la luge avec toute la neige tombée. Nous sommes partis au nord d’Helsinki avec Jakob et Jean. Il faisait un froid de canard et Johnny avait malheureusement oublié ses gants à la maison ! Je ne comprends toujours pas comment il a fait pour vivre en cet hiver exceptionnellement neigeux à Helsinki… et sans gants ! Au moins, il aura quelque chose à raconter à ses petits-enfants… « Alors mon petit, j’ai connu l’hiver en Finlande… et j’ai survécu sans gants », a plaisanté Johnny.  (Faire de la luge avec d’autres participants d’ALICE, le 23 février)

Maaliskuun tapaamiset painottuivat puolestaan illan hämärään. Vein Johnnyn keikalle Kallioon (Maustetytöt Café Mascotissa) ja käytiin muutamaan otteeseen muuallakin oluella tai parilla. Yksi mieleenpainuvimmista kokemuksista kurssin puitteissa oli varmasti Ranskan Instituutin järjestämä klassisen musiikin konsertti Temppeliaukion kirkossa (et gratos!). Käytiinpä yksi ilta myös pelaamassa erät biljardia ja maistelemassa venäläistä olutta. Keskustelu pyöri ranskalaisen poliitikan ympärillä – asia, mistä useimmilla tapaamillani ranskalaisista on aina paljon sanottavaa. Milloin se on Sarcozy, milloin Macron…

« Johnny est sorti gagnant. Dommage pour moi, mais c’est la vie…  Après la défaite cuisante, je voulais aller boire un verre à côté, au Kafe Moskova. Pour la grande surprise de tous les deux, la barmaid s’est mise soudain à nous parler en français ! Elle nous a proposé de boire des bières russes. Bon, encore une raison pour Johnny de constater qu’en Finlande, tout le monde parle plusieures langues étrangères – contrairement à sa propre expérience en France. »  (Partie de billard au Corona suivie d’une bierre russe au Kafe Moskova, le 21 mars)

ALICE-kurssin tarkoituksena on lähtökohtaisesti puhua molempien osallistujien äidinkielellä ja näin kehittää vastavuoroisesti molempien vieraan kielen taitoja. Johnnyn kanssa sovittiin jo aluksi, että keskustelu käytäisiin lähinnä ranskaksi. Johnny ei valitettavasti päässyt suomen kielessä alkeita pidemmälle ja englantia ei kumpikaan jostain syystä käyttänyt kahdenkeskisissä keskusteluissa. Tant mieux, sillä ranskan kieltä ei mielestäni pääse ikinä käyttämään Suomen maalla liiaksi saakka.

Kohokohtia Alice-kurssin tapaamisissa oli useita, mutta mainittakoon vielä yhteinen illallinen Konstan Möljässä muutaman muun kurssilaisen kanssa. Elettiin huhtikuun loppua ja kevät oli jo pitkällä. Johnny ja belgialaiset kummastelivat usein sitä mitä lautasilleen lappoivat ja toisen suomalaisen kanssa ei aina osattu itsekään sanoa mitä oltiin juuri tarkalleen syöty. Toutefois, c’était délicieux !  Keskusteltiin mm. Ranskan ja Belgian kulttuureista, ranskan kielen moninaisuudesta ja sille tyypillisistä eriskummallisuuksista (nonante vs. quatre-vingt-dix).

Viimeisen tapaamisen kunniaksi käytiin leffassa sekä ihmettelemässä Eiran värikkäitä fasadeja.

« Vu que nous aimions le cinéma français, nous sommes allés voir un film récemment sorti. Je voulais en particulier aller voir ce film en question, car j’avais commencé à lire l’oeuvre sur laquelle le film était basé il y a un an – sans la finir. » (Soirée cinéma à Kino Engel: Au revoir là-haut, le 4 mai)

ALICE-kurssi oli kaiken kaikkiaan hyvä kokemus, ja suosittelisin sitä kaikille, jotka haluavat syventää ranskan kielen taitojaan ja tutustua ranskankieliseen ihan kotikaupungissaan –mikä sen mahtavampaa! Mikseipä vaikka fuksille heti syksyn ratoksi ranskan kieltä verryttämään?

  15. Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out much. I hope to give something back and help others like you aided me.

  16. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  17. Nice blog here! Also your site loads up fast! What host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my site loaded up as quickly as yours lol

  18. I’ve learned new things by means of your blog. One other thing I’d prefer to say is always that newer personal computer os’s usually allow far more memory to be played with, but they as well demand more memory space simply to perform. If one’s computer can’t handle far more memory and also the newest software requires that ram increase, it might be the time to buy a new Computer system. Thanks

  19. Thanks for your post. I also think laptop computers have grown to be more and more popular nowadays, and now tend to be the only sort of computer employed in a household. The reason is that at the same time that they are becoming more and more affordable, their computing power is growing to the point where they’re as strong as desktop computers coming from just a few in years past.

  20. I think that a foreclosure can have a important effect on the applicant’s life. Real estate foreclosures can have a 8 to ten years negative influence on a applicant’s credit report. A borrower who has applied for a mortgage or any kind of loans as an example, knows that the actual worse credit rating will be, the more hard it is to secure a decent financial loan. In addition, it could possibly affect a borrower’s capacity to find a good place to lease or rent, if that gets the alternative houses solution. Good blog post.

  21. It?s laborious to seek out knowledgeable people on this topic, however you sound like you recognize what you?re talking about! Thanks

  22. I also believe that mesothelioma cancer is a scarce form of cancer malignancy that is often found in those previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous tissues form inside the mesothelium, which is a safety lining which covers a lot of the body’s areas. These cells commonly form within the lining on the lungs, abdominal area, or the sac that really encircles one’s heart. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

  23. I believe that avoiding processed foods is a first step to lose weight. They might taste good, but highly processed foods possess very little vitamins and minerals, making you eat more in order to have enough vigor to get throughout the day. Should you be constantly ingesting these foods, switching to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more vitality while having less. Good blog post.

  24. This is the perfect web site for anyone who hopes to understand this topic. You know a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject which has been written about for ages. Excellent stuff, just excellent.

  25. Wonderful goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you’re just extremely magnificent. I really like what you’ve acquired here, certainly like what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still take care of to keep it smart. I can’t wait to read much more from you. This is really a terrific website.

  26. I do agree with all the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for starters. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

  27. Thanks for your suggestions. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact banks and also financial institutions are aware of the spending practices of consumers as well as understand that most of the people max out and about their real credit cards around the breaks. They smartly take advantage of this particular fact and commence flooding a person’s inbox plus snail-mail box along with hundreds of no interest APR credit cards offers shortly when the holiday season closes. Knowing that should you be like 98 of American open public, you’ll leap at the chance to consolidate financial debt and shift balances to 0 annual percentage rates credit cards.

  28. This is a really good tip especially to those new to the blogosphere. Simple but very precise info… Many thanks for sharing this one. A must read post!

  29. I have taken notice that in old digital cameras, exceptional receptors help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. The sensors connected with some camcorders change in in the area of contrast, while others utilize a beam involving infra-red (IR) light, particularly in low lighting. Higher spec cameras sometimes use a blend of both programs and likely have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ’See’ a face and concentrate only in that. Thank you for sharing your notions on this blog.

  30. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that there are plenty of myths regarding the finance institutions intentions whenever talking about foreclosures. One misconception in particular would be the fact the bank wishes to have your house. The lending company wants your dollars, not your house. They want the funds they loaned you together with interest. Preventing the bank will still only draw some sort of foreclosed conclusion. Thanks for your write-up.

  31. Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out much. I hope to give something back and help others like you aided me.

  32. Together with every little thing that seems to be building throughout this specific subject matter, all your perspectives are generally rather radical. Having said that, I am sorry, because I do not give credence to your entire strategy, all be it exhilarating none the less. It would seem to everybody that your opinions are not totally rationalized and in actuality you are generally your self not really totally certain of your assertion. In any case I did appreciate reading through it.

  33. One thing I’d prefer to say is always that car insurance cancelling is a hated experience and if you are doing the proper things as a driver you simply will not get one. Many people do get the notice that they’ve been officially dumped by their own insurance company they then have to fight to get extra insurance following a cancellation. Affordable auto insurance rates usually are hard to get after the cancellation. Having the main reasons for auto insurance cancelling can help motorists prevent losing one of the most critical privileges readily available. Thanks for the tips shared by your blog.

  35. Thanks for the unique tips discussed on this web site. I have noticed that many insurance agencies offer customers generous special discounts if they elect to insure more and more cars with them. A significant volume of households own several vehicles these days, specifically those with more mature teenage youngsters still residing at home, plus the savings with policies can soon mount up. So it will pay to look for a great deal.

  36. I have discovered some important matters through your website post. One other thing I would like to state is that there are several games out there designed specifically for preschool age little ones. They consist of pattern acceptance, colors, animals, and patterns. These generally focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This keeps a child occupied without having the experience like they are learning. Thanks

  37. Heya are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  38. Thanks for your handy post. Through the years, I have been able to understand that the actual symptoms of mesothelioma are caused by the build up connected fluid between your lining in the lung and the upper body cavity. The condition may start within the chest area and distribute to other body parts. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma cancer include weight loss, severe breathing trouble, nausea, difficulty swallowing, and irritation of the face and neck areas. It ought to be noted that some people with the disease do not experience every serious indicators at all.

  39. Thanks for your posting on the travel industry. I’d also like to add that if you are a senior thinking of traveling, it really is absolutely imperative that you buy traveling insurance for senior citizens. When traveling, senior citizens are at high risk of experiencing a professional medical emergency. Obtaining the right insurance package for one’s age group can look after your health and provide you with peace of mind.

  40. I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  43. Thanks for your intriguing article. One other problem is that mesothelioma is generally attributable to the inhalation of material from mesothelioma, which is a very toxic material. Its commonly witnessed among personnel in the engineering industry who may have long exposure to asbestos. It can be caused by living in asbestos covered buildings for an extended time of time, Genes plays an important role, and some folks are more vulnerable on the risk compared to others.

  44. A few things i have often told individuals is that when searching for a good on the net electronics shop, there are a few components that you have to think about. First and foremost, you should make sure to locate a reputable and in addition, reliable shop that has picked up great testimonials and scores from other individuals and marketplace leaders. This will ensure that you are dealing with a well-known store providing you with good services and help to their patrons. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this web site.
