Write an article based on this "Keep a journal. Explore your own interests. Find a support network. Keep things in perspective."
article: Journaling can be a great way to process your thoughts while your partner is away. You can also easily keep a journal if you're deployed. Write in a journal a few times a week, chronicling your thoughts and emotions regarding your partner's absence. When you and your partner are reunited, share some of the most heartfelt sections of your journal with your partner. While distance is difficult, it can sometimes provide the opportunity for self-exploration and personal growth. While your partner is away, take this as a chance to explore some of your own interests and passions. Join a book club. Take a cooking class. Take up a new hobby, like running or knitting. Try to make the most of the time you have alone to better get to know yourself and your interests. If you're deployed, it may not be difficult to keep busy. A particularly active deployment should keep your mind engaged. However, some deployments are less hectic than others. While it may be hard to, say, join a cooking class when deployed, you can look into solitary pursuits. You can try reading and writing, for example. Try to explore subjects that interest you by reading books on these subjects during your spare moments away. During your separation, you and your partner should both have access to healthy support networks. People are social by nature, and even if your partner is gone you need people you can reach out to. If you're being deployed, do not hesitate to get close to your fellow soldiers. Open up to them about your struggles and stress, and talk about how you're managing your long distance relationship. If you're staying at home, reach out to friends and family members. You should also reach out to your partner's friends and families. Spending time with people close to your partner can help you feel close to him or her from a distance. It's important to keep things in perspective while your partner is away. Have friends and family members you can talk to when you feel frustrated or afraid in your partner's absence. If you know another person with a partner in the military, this person may be able to help you keep things in perspective. While this time is difficult, keep in mind it will not last forever. Try to keep in mind that things are temporary, and your relationship may be stronger after your partner returns. If you're deployed, some of your fellow soldiers have probably also left partners at home during deployment. Try to talk to fellow soldiers about how you're feeling, and ask them for advice on how to cope. Some soldiers have probably been deployed multiple times, and may have advice for you on how to keep things in perspective.

Finnish has a heavy emphasis on vowels, and its alphabet contains some vowels that are not used in English. Before you start studying Finnish, you should learn how to read and pronounce its alphabet. Since Finnish words are spelled exactly how they are pronounced, this will help you learn vocabulary more quickly. A (IPA: /a/): pronounced like English "father" or "calm" O (IPA: /o/): pronounced like a prolonged 'o' in 'or'. U (IPA: /u/): pronounced like the English 'U' in 'Uber'. I (IPA: /i/): pronounced like the English 'ea' in 'Easter' or 'e' in 'email' E (IPA: /e/): pronounced like "bed" A (IPA: /ae/): pronounced like English 'a' in "hat" O (IPA: //): pronounced like English 'i' in "girl" Y (IPA: /y/): No clear equivalent, although briefly appears in the words ex. "to", "you", and "new". Similar to the German "u." A double vowel in a word simply means that you pronounce it for twice as long. Most consonants in Finnish are pronounced similarly to those in English. This includes the pronunciation for the letters D, L, M, N, NG, P, S, and T. However, Finnish consonants are cleaner and consonants such as T don't have any "h" quality to them and thus sounds closer to a D. The letters B, C, F, G, Q, X, and Z are only used in loanwords.There are a few differences between English and Finnish consonants. These include: Always pronounce H. Your H should sound breathy, as though you are puffing air every time you pronounce it. J is pronounced like "y" is in English. V is weaker in Finnish than in English. As you pronounce it, try touching your teeth against your bottom lip very lightly. A double consonant (such as in the word takka) is pronounced with a brief pause or hesitation between the two consonants. W and X are not used in Finnish except in loan words. It is good to have a stock of simple phrases you can use to say hello and goodbye to people. Practice repeating these phrases back to yourself. You can also listen to videos or audio clips online to help you get used to hearing the language as well. Some good phrases are: Hei: hi, hello Moi: hello (informal, used with friends) Hyvaa huomenta: Good morning Hyvaa paivaa: Good day Hyvaa iltaa: good evening Mita kuuluu?: How are you? Nahdaan myohemmin: See you later Hauska tavata: Nice to meet you Tervetuloa: Welcome Kiitos: Thank you Anteeksi: sorry, excuse me Nakemiin: goodbye To have a conversation in Finnish, you may find it useful to start by asking questions. These conversational questions can let you practice responding in Finnish while helping you get the information you need. Paljonko tama maksaa?: How much does this cost? Anteeksi, missa on _____?: Excuse me, where is ________? Voisitteko auttaa minua?: Could you please help me? Puhutko englantia: Do you speak English? Mista sina olet kotoisin?: Where are you from? Mina olen kotoisin_____: I am from _____. Mika sinun nimesi on?: What is your name? Minun nimeni on_______: My name is_________. Numbers are important to help you find and buy things while you are in a Finland. After learning one through ten in Finnish, you can attach endings to make numbers 11-90. one = yksi two = kaksi three = kolme four = nelja five = viisi six = kuusi seven = seitseman eight = kahdeksan nine = yhdeksan ten = kymmenen For numbers 11-19, all you have to do is to add the word -toista in the end of the finnish number between 1-9. (eleven= yksitoista; twelve=kaksitoista; thirteen = kolmetoista, etc.) For the numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90, just take a number between 1-9 and add the word -kymmenta, at the end. Example: Kaksi (two) + -kymmenta = Kaksikymmenta, which means twenty in Finnish.
