På engelska då...

I will continue writing here in english. In Finland today there is a magazine in finnish language named Anna. The picture is from this women's magazine, an article about a man from India that wanted to teach Bollywood dancing in Tammerfors. (Tampere).

This has not so much to do with Anna Kempe, but as a way to playfully get started, with understanding more about India today: I figured it might be a good idea.

The girls here are from Finland, but they made their Bollywood dancing suits themselves.

Songtexts and music are good ways of learning languages also.

I doubt Anna Kempe would have joined dancing classes, but she used to teach the girls english while working with handicraft, such as weaving, because she noted that was the way she could tempt the local girls to come join her in the schoolroom. They were otherwise shy and the families in the area thought it was an unusual idea to send their daughters to school.
