ABSTRACT
This book aims to provide you with the basics you need to communicate in Finnish. That means grammatical nuts-and-bolts, some useful vocabulary, and an idea of how to guess at the meanings of words you haven't heard before. It is not a phrase-book or a tourist's guide to Finland; plenty of those are already available, and besides, all the phrase-books in the world won't get you communicating if you aren't equipped with the rules.
