hoping to learn more Finnish

Post by weegill » Sat Jan 08, 2011 10:25 pm

Hi

Planning on visiting South Karelia in early Feb to mid Feb 2011. Does anyone know if there is any part time courses available where I can learn Finnish at this time in this area?

Thanks

Here is the website for a good Finnish teacher: http://www.uusikielemme.fi/

Honestly, the odds of your finding a Finnish teacher in Karelia from early Feb to mid Feb 2011 are very small.

Also, viewtopic.php?f=3&t=44016 and "Finnish: An Essential Grammar" by Fred Karlsson is published by Routledge.

Ahaa, hänen nettisivunsa on todella mielenkiintoista. (Suomeksi kirjoittaminen on hankalaa!)

Reading the section on post positions -- nicely summarized!

Ahhh, you beat me there...:D

In the singular, I guess it would be:

Hänen nettisivunsa on todella mielenkiintoinen.

and how about:

Hänen nettisivunsa on todella mielenkiintoista luettavaa.....if you mean there are some interesting things to read on the page.... :D

That would lead me to think there is just one page. Which might be correct, but usually there are few more pages...

Try to say that in plural... ;)
