Well hello everyone!
I was very happy to have found this site, and very disappointed when I went into the Finnish section and found only Tapes. So you can imagine how even more happy I was when I decided to check out if the forum had a Finnish section and found the textbook and workbook being posted here! Unfortunately... no Finnish section. BUT, hopefully soon, n'est ce pas? *hint hint* Anyways, my point with this topic was, after I got the textbook and checked through it, I noticed it is indeed a little dated. So a question came to my mind, should I really use this as my basic textbook which I can entirely devote to or should I look for something else, or even, should I start gathering a library of supplement books to help my process even this early on on my journey? You see, I am kinda of a perfectionist, and this is not the first language I'm studying, so I do know the pains I went through before when I couldn't find a decent book to focus completely on without having to go buying a ton of others because I didn't get enough from that one. So now, I want to do proper research to find a decent book I can focus on. (Not perfect, there is no such thing). And this was the solution I came to. Ask on this Forum! It seems active enough. So, whoever as had experience with the book, is going through it now or even had friends who talked about it, please answer the poll and make a comment! (Yes, please, a comment, even just a line is good enough. The more feedback the better.) Waiting anxiously for your answers, sei |

Seisatou, there are Finnish groups at Yahoo which might be of use:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/opiskele If you are a perfectionist, then move to Finland and learn the language there. Nothing beats real-life experience. It will be expensive. You can also find a lot of simpler language learning materials at places like Amazon.com. Enjoy your journey into Finnish. |

I am moving to Finland... in a few years time. Of course, for that people actually have to have money...
![]() And I don't want simpler language learning materials, I'm no child... I'm an educated college student, I think I can take this book easily. Just need to know how good it is, because unfortunately, I don't know any Finnish, so I can't exactly make my own assessment of the book... (There would be no point to this topic if I could no?) Well... thanks for the group sites anyway, I'll check them out. |

Do you know that the Helsinki Metro newspaper is on the WEb?
http://metropoint.metro.lu/yyyymmdd_Helsinki.pdf where yyyy is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day. It is published daily, Monday through Friday, and I suppose it is not published on public holidays. There have been times when daily issues were not posted, and I do not know if these were later added to the Web site. David Ames |
