Для использования вместе с книгой упражнений /file/1373970/Kuulostaa hyvalta is suited for studying Finnish both as a second and as a foreign language. It is suitable for elementary-level teaching, self-study and distance learning. The course progresses rapidly, and therefore it is also admirably suited for revision.The course book is supplemented by a video tape, that includes brief video clips containing the same text as the book. The video material permits the learner to practise oral comprehension and pronunciation independently. It also provides information about the culture of the language and locates it in its natural setting.The emphasis of the different parts of the course represent a departure from normal practice. Short texts present new grammar and vocabulary. The texts are also accompanied by translations, which are as literal as possible so that the learner can use them not only to understand the text but also to discover how things are expressed in Finnish.There are a number of exercises, which practise inflections and structures, and their usage. The exercises also constantly revise previously learned material.The vocabulary consists of about 2000 entries. Together with their meanings, important information regarding inflection and usage is provided.
