My Speech Test Made My Teacher Cry...

This is the last week of school and I had three tests this week. The written one was on Monday and today I had a spoken and listening test.
I didn't know there was going to be an actual spoken test, but I guess it is to be expected in the end of a language course!
I was asked the basics like where I live, how long I have lived there...what do I like about the area, what do I do on the weekends and so on.
Then the fun part. I was given a black and white photo of a couple eating dinner in some posh restaurant and some suggestions on what to say were written on the side.
Describe what they are doing, their personalities, what they look like and their conversation.

After doing all that but their conversation part - my teacher asked what are they talking about?
Initially I started with :

His name is George and he is 35-years old and works in the hospital as a doctor. His wife Lisa is 30 and she's a teacher... they have been married for four years.
They are at a restaurant in Italy which is beautiful and very hot unlike Finland.
Lisa is eating chicken pasta and George is eating potatoes and beef.
They are drinking white wine.

Here's the conversation -picture deep manly voice for George and a soft high pitched voice for Lisa:

"Moi, Italia on kaunis!!"- Lisa
"Joo, sin� on kaunis my�s!  Haluatko menee katsoo elokuvaa?" - George
"Joo!  M� haluan katson 'N�lk� Pelit'" - Lisa
"Um - m� en.  M� menee baariin ja m� odotan." - George
"Oh....George -m� haluan lasta!" -Lisa
"Um...m� en. Mutta ehk� ostamme koira??" -George
"Ehk�...mutta m� haluan on vauva!!!" -Lisa
"Sin� nimi koira 'Vauva'"- George
"Ei sama. M� haluan eronut!!"- Lisa
"MIKSI?!?!"- George
"Koska m� haluan vauva ja m� nukkun sun velje� kanssa!"- Lisa
"Mit�?!?!"- George
"Joo!! Eilen kaksi vuotta...."- Lisa
"No niin!!...m� en tied�!!!!"- George
"Joo....heippa hei."- Lisa
"Heippa."- George

After changing my voice - my teacher jokingly suggested we record the conversation I make up and play it for the class later...
By the point I got to "M� haluan lasta!" - she had tears down her face and couldn't stop laughing...

Here is a translation of what I said...I apologize for the spelling errors and in-correct grammar above!

"Hey, Italy is beautiful!" - Lisa
"Yes, you are beautiful also/too!  Do you want to go see a movie??" - George
"Yes...I want to see Hunger Games!" - Lisa
"Um - I don't.  I'll go to a bar and I'll wait." - George
"Oh...George - I want kids!" - Lisa
"Um - I don't.  But maybe we can buy a dog?" - George
"Maybe...but I want a baby!!!" - Lisa
"You can name the dog 'Baby'" - George
"Not the same.  I want a divorce!" - Lisa
"WHY?!?!" - George
"Because I want a baby and I'm sleeping with your brother!" - Lisa
"What?!" - George
"Yes for the last 2 years..." - Lisa
"Oh well...I didn't know!" - George
"Yep....bye bye." - Lisa
"Bye." - George

After all this - I said I was done and she thought it was hilarious but very dramatic.
I told her it was the "Amerikalainen versio" - (American version)....I made a reference to Jerry Springer but she didn't get that part.

I think I passed.

My 1st 100% Finnish Phone Call!

I'm totally over the moon right now!!
My oldest is home with a nasty fever that started yesterday afternoon - but the medicine is kicking in now - so that's nice.
Anyways, my dentist sends me a nice little post card with an appointment time on it whenever it's "that time of the year".  I knew and was expecting a card in the mail soon because at my last appointment he told me he was moving cities - so this was the last one before he moved.

For those that don't know me too well - I am the Queen of Losing Things.  I put things down for just a moment and POOF!  Gone.  I'm starting to wonder if there's a little fairy that lives in my house that hides everything...the same one who steals socks (and we don't even have a dryer to blame THAT on) in most households - so you're forced to wear mismatched pairs...or wear the same colour everyday....(which I find personally a bit sad).

Anyways, all I remembered from this post card is that:
A) I have an appointment
B) It's in November
C) It's on the 20-something...

And of course I forgot to write it down or to in-put it into my phone's calendar...

So I had a hunch that today might be the day - so I gave them a call.

"Moi! Puhutko englantia??" - me hoping partly that yes, the receptionist does and partly hoping that no, the receptionist doesn't - so I can practice my Finnish...
She advises me that she knows a bit...alright - Finnish it is...time to *gulp* TRY.

"Ok - mun nimi on Dominique ja mulla on ajanvaraus Juha kanssa.  Mutta m� en muista milloin aika on?"  I'm practically speed talking because I want to say it as accurately as possible and at the same time - get off the phone as quickly as possible.
(Okay - my name is Dominique and I have an appointment with Juha.  But I don't remember when the time is?)

She was quite pleased and seemed to understand me because she confirmed my name and told me my appointment is today and gave me the time.

I feel awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(When school is done - I'll post a huge vocabulary list of what I learned in school...probably during Christmas break.)
