Reaching roughly Kalevala's readers' skill level as a foreigner

From my translation of the beginning of Kalevala, in a climate free way, trying to teach it's leveö of wisdom to foreigners, http://kalevalainenglish.blogspot.com/
from my text about the aim of the translation:

"If you find Kalevala's viewpoint and level of skill and fracturelessness hard to understand, please read my blog http://EinoLeinopoems.blogspot.fi and read the texts on links from that blog: maybe first my paradise theory ( you see the basics on this link http://2013paradise.blogspot.com/2017/08/basics-of-my-paradise-theory.html but need to add the part about feelings: the book at the beginning of the blog http://workandfreetime.blogspot.fi ), then increasing thinking skills and intelligence and then abut healthy ways of living and doing things (http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html and http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2018/01/healthy-ways-of-living-and-doing.html ), but those are all big bunches of texts."

This is of coursenot the same as the Kalevala's skill level but ought to make it possible to follow most of the thpguhts rpughly, at least to not to have such a big cultural barrier in it.

And at the same time it would propably be good for nature conservation, for one's relationship with the nature and for one's ability to learn via nature's wisdom, to be truly wise and live in an ages old way as far as it is possible in this modern world and in one's culture and climate.

23.8.2018 But I do not know about Kalevala's translations. The Finnish original is of course superbly great book. I have the imression that some British translation is Celtic, not at all good, but I do not know. So here I refer to my own translation of the beginning of Kalevala: http://kalevalainenglish.blogspot.com .

Nature protection abroad: build a better contact with the nature

http://finnishskills.blogspot. com/2015/02/visiting-finnish- nature.html " Visiting the Finnish nature The Finnish nature is famous for it's unique fragile beauty. Also Finland as a nation without much written history has it's roots in the old forest dwellers who were mainly farmers and at earlier times hunters. Most modern Finns spend a week or so of their summer holiday on a summer cottage by a lake shore. Finns have a different attitude toward nature than most foreigners, because the nature here is very different from the nature say in Central Europe, where the nature is mostly farms and gardens and parks too. The Finnish nature is wild, not gardened, and it is praised for it's beauty and peace, and it is scarce: there are not somany trees and not so many dangerous animals. The maybe best way to learn to walk in the forest is to visit a small forest patch in town or some well kept recreation area, and pick some ordinary not-at-all-rare stone, flowers...

Liikuntaa vihreille

Liikunta parantaa mielialaa ja tekee terveet elämäntavat helpommiksi, tuojaksaaisuutta ja elämäniisautta sekä saa elämänmuutokset sujumaan. Vihreäöt usein pitävät hyötyliikunnasta kuten kävely ja pyöräily, joten olisikohan tästä hiihtoretkiohjeestani linkkeineen (Katso linkit!) iloa myös vihreille? Lainaus sivultani http://eraopasaihe.blogspot.fi/2016/12/mokkeilysta-hiihtamisesta-ja.html " "Hiihtämässä Olin tänään pitkästä aikaa hiihtämässä, ihan vähän vain ja kehoani kuunnellen. Jälkikäteen lämpimässä villaviltin alla tuli kamalan hyvä olo ja mietin, että tätäkö savonlinnalaisuus juuri kaipaa: mökkeilyn tapaista liikuntaa? http://liikuntaa.blogspot.fi/2016/12/hiihtamassa-pitkasta-aikaa.html Mutta itse asustelen kaupungissa."  Tässä tuon linkin teksti: " Hiihtämässä pitkästä aikaa Kävin tänään hiihtämässä pitkästä aikaa.
