I thought this tongue-in-cheek weblog article was hilarious! It includes a
short "overview" of Finnish grammar and pronunciation.

Finnish as a World Language?

Well, he's convinced me. :)

Enjoyed the article, just a small note: Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in 1993...

Thanks for the link. Very good article that, to cheer you up after a heavy day of work. Hahaa.

I am convinced too, though I may be slightly biased to begin with, and easier to convince than most, since I already know Finnish ;o).
