How are you finding 'Finnish Tutor'? Would you recommend it?
I think “Finnish Tutor” is good! It covers from A2-B2, so I don’t think I could have started using it much earlier, but seems to be okay from someone who has been studying for a 1yr+ casually.
Each chapter has some grammar explanations, then some exercises (i.e. fill in the gap with the correct word, or the correct form of the word), then a reading exercise and lastly a topic to write about. Answers are given at the back for the exercises.
The grammar explanations seem fine to me, but are definitely more appropriate for someone who has a bit of a background in Finnish grammar already rather than someone learning it for the first time.
The exercises and texts are definitely not easy. The book’s introduction states it is aimed at people who have studied Finnish before, so for example could be better to cover Suomen Mestari 1 and 2 (or equivalent) first before this book.
Covers lots of good topics: hobbies, daily routines, housing, life story, celebrations, education, employment, etc., etc.
Hope this helps!
