Just wanted to say thanks for the program! Finally something made my husband happy to start learning Finnish! He learnt three levels in one evening and I kept asking him for translation of some of words in the next morning and he still remembered them! Mind you, my husband in the morning doesn't remember his own name, lol!
He is English/Irish with no language skills, I am Polish/Russian - and I am Polish, Russian and English speaking plus some Finnish as I spent a year in Finland. We hope to move propably 2005 so we need to learn the language fast!
Thanks once again!

In all fairness it's because I refuse to be beaten by a machine :wink:

Yes, the only thing worse than my language skills is my memory, but I have to admit the program is just plain *fun*. The fact that I'm picking up more words from it in one evening than in many previous weeks seems to be a happy side effect, heh :lol:

Many thanks to the creators of the program!

Paul, just sign-up again, I'm not sure where your info is. Have you tried using the online tool to resend your password?

Did you people re-register there?

I had the same problem in the beginning, since I thought that if you registered for the main . site, you were also registered for that learningfinnish website.
That's not the case.

You can register using the same username and password, but you DO have to do the registering process again.
