Finnish Lesson mp3?

Are there beginner (preferably free or at least inexpensive) Finnish lessons in mp3 format somewhere? It seems like I'm having an exceedingly difficult time finding resources on the web.

You might want to give these a try:

Only the first one comes with audio samples (actually video clips) but the others might be useful as well.

As for other audio resources, try Yle Puhe, and the rest of the radio-related resources on YLE’s website. There’s also YLE Areena, Elävä arkisto, MTV3 Katsomo, and Ruutu.fi (the last one doesn’t like ad blockers.)

Not all of the material is available for listening to or viewing abroad, but some of it is.

I've never had much trouble finding resources on the web for Finnish.... Maybe you need to be a little more flexible... Jukka has given you some audio material....

Here's a link:

...near the bottom are a list of language links....

Initially I used "Tavataan Taas".... it's quite simple and definitely aimed at beginners [The link wasn't working when I checked it ...might just be temporary...or maybe they moved it...

Not mp3 but on youtube.

These have that lovely 1990's geeky charm -- complete with VHS tape glitch at the bottom of the screen. There are quire a few episodes of this.

This youtube channel here has quite a bit of beginner Finnish video. It looks like supisuomea is also here.

And I'm working on FInnish myself and am still extremely non-fluent.
