It's the programme schedule of the Finnish radio station Yle Mondo, it tells you what time the Finnish lessons are broadcast, as I said at 22:50

You mean you want them to have Mp3's of these??
Those are not Finnish lessons they are Special Finnish news broadcasts

"For listeners with some command of Finnish YLE Radio Finland offers daily broadcasts in "Special Finnish". The five minute broadcasts cover items of current interest. To ease understanding, we simplify the language and slow down the delivery. Some grammatical forms are not used at all. The level of Finnish used is planned to match the expected ability to understand Finnish shown by persons in Level Two Language Command (of Finnish) as defined by the Council of Europe.

With "Selkis" immigrants and other persons learning Finnish will be able to follow events and ideas here in Finland earlier than should they have to wait until their command of Finnish reaches the level need in following the general media.

YLE Radio Finland launched programmin in Special Finnish in 1992."

whilst they are a useful learning tool, they are not the same thing as the Finnish language course broadcast by Yle.

I absolutely cannot find any "How To Learn Finnish" feeds, podcasts, mp3 or ANYTHING of that sort online! It angers me! :evil:

Where in Ohio are you located ? There might be ( not very likely but not impossible ) a Finnish Language Meetup near you. Check out the list here :

http://finnish.meetup.com/cities/us/oh/?all=1

Linda is near Akron : http://finnish.meetup.com/cities/us/oh/akron/

I have not looked at the other cities.

You can start a Finnish Language Meetup in your city if there is not one already.

By the way, many of the cities and towns in Ohio have great names - like Mechanicstown.

This page comes up top on Google when you search for 'learn Finnish' podcasts. Thought you should know. :wink:

If by any chance those mp3s are still up for grabs, I'd love a copy.

For other aspiring learners, I've found these downloads which may be useful. I haven't tried them out yet.[/url]

Not on mp3 or anyhing, but I find this site very useful: http://www.uusikielemme.fi/index.html
