These tapes are a great way to learn the basics of Finnish. It also greatly helps with pronunciation. Most tapes I have heard repeat the saying only once in Finnish, but these tapes repeat it twice, and much slower than other tape series. I had been trying to learn Finnish a few weeks before getting these tapes, and these tapes accelerated my learning a great deal.

If you want to learn basic Finnish, get these tapes.

I am pleased with the tapes and the language is clearly understood, especially as each word is repeated.

This set is a decent value. For your money, you get a fairly broad range of phrases and vocabulary. However, the organization of information assumes that you can keep interest listening to a bunch of discrete phrases repeated one after the other with no conversations or anything remotely natural. If you can, in fact, maintain interest while listening to these tapes repeatedly, then you'll do well with this set. If, on the other hand, you need something more dynamic, you might do well to look elsewhere.
