Suomea suomeksi 1 - 2 is an easy introduction to the structure of the Finnish language and to everyday Finnish. The vocabulary to this unilingual book can be obtained in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and in English. In preparing the book special attention has been paid to the needs of the Scandinavian students, but due to its unilingual approach the book can equally be used by non-Scandinavians. The author, Phil. D. Olli Nuutinen, has taught Finnish at the Universities of Copenhagen and Warsaw. At present he is lecturing in Finnish for foreigners at Helsinki University.
