Of all jobs to have gotten in Bilbao...
Ok. So I teach Finnish now.
[pause]
[this is where you burst out laughing]
So yes, I have a linguistics degree and in theory can teach any language I know well enough.
But, seriously, who the hell wants to learn Finnish in Spain??! A Spanish first year history student who thinks Finnish is a very nice language...
[stunned silence]
Yes, be amazed, be very amazed. And to make matters even more interesting, this guy is like a genius at languages - I mean, he positively absorbs everything I teach in like two seconds flat! I prepared about three hours worth of lesson (for 1.5 hours) just to be sure I had enough material (last time he was done with 1.5 hours worth of stuff in about 40 minutes), and he went through almost all of it!
Whoohoo! It's good fun to be a teacher of such a rare language though!
