Conversational Finnish Language For Foreigners, Volume 1, Audio CD Course.

Includes 10 audio CD discs ( = 8 hours), and a 236-page textbook, plus a 276-page exercise book, and a 78-page oral drill book. This practical course in modern Finnish does not come with cross-country skis. However, it is a good introductory course and uses two books: one provides transcripts of the Finnish language dialogs with idiomatic English translations, notes on structural patterns, and explanations of essential points of grammar; the other provides a variety of exercises with instructions in English. This is the basic course in Finnish, emphasizing the spoken language with pronunciation drills and a large glossary. It was developed over a period of years with the participation of Finnish students.
