Lets study Finnish...
I don't know where this thread should put so Mods, put it where it should be...
But about thread. This is Lets study Finnish. I will teach every who wants to learn Finnish. I can tell you about Finlands culture and of Finlands language of course. As you see, I'm not good in English but because I'm Finnish, I can teach and tell about Finland. So everyone who wants learn about Finland and Finlands language, tell me what you want to know and learn. I ask Red Magician to teach here too, but I'm not sure does he want... But that's not todays problem... I put here what Final Fantasy means in Finnish: Final Fantasy ~ Viimeinen Fantasia EDIT:// Red Magician accepted my request and will teach with me. Yahoo!!! So I and Red Magician will teach you Finnish. When I'm not here Red Magician will answer to your questions but I'm still your main teacher in here.

I've actually always wanted to learn the language. I've been quite enthraled with the country as of late. Unfortunately though, Finnish books are a scarce commodity, especially where I live.
I'm not sure that I can pin point an exact starting point that I should ask questions about. It's quite a broad topic. I suppose I'll start with the ulmats, or whatever they're called. The a and the o with the dots over them. How are those pronounced?

You mean this letters : Ä and Ö?
You know letter where a and e is together...? Ä pronounced just like that letter. And have you see Ø letter under DarkVivis name. It pronounced just like that letter... I'm not sure does those letters on your computer... Quote:

Finnish wouldn't help me that much in America. Teach me some damn Spanish! I know a little Spanish already... but not as much as I should. Spanish will probably be the dominant language in America by like the year 2020!
Gawsh!

But I don't anything about Spanish. I speak English, Finnish, little bit of Sweden and little bit France. So I can only teach Finnish to you. I don't know anything about Spanish...

You see, I don't know the letter where the A and E are connected, or the O and the E. We don't really have the letter in English, just different pronounciations of the same letter. I've come to suspect that the A one is like the a in cat, but the o one evades me.

Ä letter should pronounce just like it a in the word cat.
I don't know how the letter Ö prenousing should explain to you. In english you don't have thats prenousing almost any word so I can't explain it to you. Anything else questions? Any questions about words. (Maybe Red Magician could tell it when he comes back (I hope so)) |

How about some just some basic everday words that you need to get you by? Hello, goodbye, how are you, etc.
Gotta start somewhere right?

Well maybe I can help some on the letters. I don't know a croc of Finnish but we have some of those letters in German as well.
ä is pronounced like the a in cat. We covered that one already. ü can only really be explained by saying that, if you took the letter u and e and sounded them out simultaneously, that would be the sound. Most possibly the closes sounding word that hits that sound in an english word would be the u in a word like Turkish. Take that u sound and add the e to it so that it gets dragged out more. I guess writing it like this might help: Tuerkish. I think that kind of nails it. I can't really make sure since I can't hear you but whatever. ö is about the same but more of an o with e. Hard to find a word fitting but I think you get the idea (or not?). Whatever, I just realised I'll never try and be a teacher again.....especially on the internet.
