Kotimaan matkailu kesällä tarjoaa jokaiselle matkailijalle jotain uutta! Tässä jaksossa puhun Suomen kesästä ja siihen liittyvistä sanoista, kuten suvista. Päiväretkien lisäksi voi matkustaa pidemmälle Suomeen ja tutustua esimerkiksi ruukkialueisiin, kartanoihin ja huvilarakennuksiin tai mennä huvittelemaan huvipuistoon. 
Mistä sinun kesäsi koostuu? Omaani kuuluu matkustelu Suomessa, saunominen ja uiminen. Aurinkoista kesää!

Suomea for you

I use this text to describe the importance of speaking casually without hesitating.
Listen to this:
I went to the sea...to the beach two weeks...ummm..ago.  My brother and I...we...ummm...we wanted to...go inside the...to go swimming.  It was very...really, really, really hot.

It is also important not to speak too quickly.  We use pauses but not long ones and not too often.
Listen to this:
I went to the sea to go to the beach two weeks ago.  My brother and I wanted to go swimming.  The weather was ... quite hot.  The water was very relieving.

Practice your speaking speed and fluency with these questions and others.  Record your voice and listen for which of my recordings you sound like.
1). What did you do last weekend?
2). What kind of books do you like to read?
3). What do you usually like to cook for yourself?
