Nathan DykesWould anyone in the #linguistics sphere or elsewhere have tips on learning Finnish?
I'd be starting from basically nothing and would be working on my own for now. I can work with materials in English, German or Swedish.
Hanna@na_sy_tr I recommend Uusi kielemme website. They explain grammar, but have also lists of basic vocabulary. Lacks audio.
In YouTube Satu Lahtonen, Opi suomea Katan kanssa and Suomen kurssi (https://youtube.com/@suomenkurssi?si=Breh5H-ZsjlMp0hU) amake cute videos for beginners (Suomen kurssi has materials on level B1-B2 too). They are fully in Finnish, but since they are really easy, I think you understand most of them.
