Does anyone know if the French and German based Finnish courses are the same? Would also like to know opinions on the quality of this/these course(s)? I've got a couple of resources for Finnish but nothing with audio.
Am also wondering if anyone here has used Indonesian or Bulgarian (only the French based is in stock at the Assimil shop at the moment) and what they are like? Are they humorous? Background: I've used assimil for Dutch and now German (the 2014 English version) and love both courses. Also used a bit of the most recent Italian with Ease. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've used the French based Bulgarian, and quite liked it. Admittedly, my only other
Bulgarian reference was Teach Yourself, which I found to be intolerable, so ¨quite liked it¨ is certainly colored by that, but overall I believe it to be a solid course. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

On assimilwelt.com and on assimil.com are samples of the first lessons. You could compare them.
However on assimil.com you have to klick on the book with Mp3 or CDs. Otherwise it's not possible to hear the samples. If the first lesson in the same the rest will be also. Edited by Thunter2 on 09 April 2015 at 2:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ah thanks. Thunter2. Looks like the Finnish courses are pretty much the same. The dialogues look a bit boring but Finnish is such an amazing sounding language that it might not matter.
Bulgarian also looks the same from what I can tell. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There's a lot of typical Assimil humour later on :) I really liked using this course for shadowing!
It's nowhere near enough for listening, though - try ymmärrä suomea as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
