Finnish wordlists?

[ababaa]

I'm looking for lists of common words in Finnish. I have found two seperate lists of 10 000 most common words in Finnish, but neither is a very beginner friendly. The first doesn't seem to be based on a large source. The second (link below) seems to be something but it is not a very useful for a beginner to first learn hundreds of words without much meaning (konjunktioita, adverbeja, yms).

So are there any beginner friendly word lists? I think the word lists in Finnish School might be something, but it seems to be an abandoned project and the developer doesn't respond to e-mails.

And the reason why I can't use Finnish School directly is that the person I'm trying to teach Finnish to, doesn't understand English (so the lists I'm looking for don't have to contain translations).

Shouldn't be too hard to sort out just verbs, nouns and adjectives from the list if that is more what you'd want?

Not a bad suggestion, and I might just do that one day. But it isn't very beginner friendly. I mean if you take for example top 100 verbs (or nouns or adjectives) from that list, the list wouldn't contain "beginner" words such as the ones used in simple conversations, telling about yourself, etc. Instead it would contain words that, while widely used, aren't words that alone form a "what did you do today? how is the weather?" type of conversation.

Not surprisingly word list that is taken from newspapers is best suited to read newspapers...
