Learn Finnish with these resources
To learn Finnish, you’re going to need a way to learn correct pronunciation, a frequency dictionary to form your base vocabulary and a good grammar book. You’ll also benefit from a thematic vocabulary book for specialized vocabulary and maybe a book or two, once you learn your first 1000 words. Make sure you read the Method sections of the website, then check out some of these recommended resources:
