"Finnish School" - Down for a day or two...

Post by Phil » Mon Apr 19, 2004 10:14 am

We're moving servers so http://www.finnishschool.com will be down until this evening (Monday April 19th) or Tuesday at the latest. You'll notice that the page just keeps refreshing or doesn't come up at all.

Sooo sorry about this!! :cry:

Oh, and I fixed the "grape" vocabulary word bug.

In the meantime, go check out 'Finland Journal' - http://www.finlandjournal.com :D

Moro! The 'grape' problem is fixed, but there are a few more incorrect results now. In "Opposites 3", for example, the correct answers for boring, dull, and maybe more are resulting in incorrect answers. It is good to see it back, though, thanks for the effort.
The more pity, that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly.

The problem seems to be pandemic and random in many catagories...

8) Yep, noticed it too.
Especially animals part 2 gives many "wrong" answers when it is right.
Impossible to pass the exam... :cry:

Thanks though, for doing your best...

Phil mate, just a word of constructive criticism...

Maybe you want to rewrite the site as Finnish to American / American to Finnish.

Keksi in english is biscuit, but in 'Finnish school' it is incorrect, in your program it will only accept cookie as the correct answer. Since my computer is set to not accept cookies, maybe you could have English alternatives to your American terminology!

There are other quite dubious ones, such as sämpylä which has to be worded as "roll (dinner)", roll on its own is simply not good enough!

And 'pulla' I always thought was a "sweetened" bun and not a 'roll (bread)'. Is this correct?

PS. I found a very helpful pdf link that has a complete food dictionary.
