btw hilariously enough, because I bought my Nokia (and all my previous Nokias) in Russia, I can't switch it to Finnish! XD My previous one at least had Estonian, Romanian and Ukrainian, my current one just Russian, Belarusian and English :S

No, no, not at all. I have no ego tied up in Finnish, really, correct away all you like. I'm just kind of guessing my way through these things somewhat, really.

No, not 2011. I did a fair amount of posting and studying over the year, but I think I seemed to be mostly oblivious to what else was going on around here and never knew anything about the teams or any of this stuff. (And part of this was a conscious effort to avoid getting sucked into to too much English chat on this system, to be honest.)

Yeah I have no problem with simplified Finnish myself. Though since I have a transcript here that I can study and read, I don't need the audio to be slow speed since I can pick up words using a dictionary.
What would be my preference, I think, is native speed, but with a written transcript. I think this would help more with listening comprehension.
