6 years and a half. I reached basic fluency after about two.
Good luck with your 6 week challenge! I'll gladly help if I can. BTW my profile is filled out in detail if you're curious:) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This was supposed to be a PM for Chung but his inbox is full.
background: there are two pretty good Russian-based textbooks for Finnish, simply учебник финского языка (by Чернявская) and Opi puhumaan suomea. Well, учебник финского языка is a better introduction, but the book by Mullonen covers more material. I'd recommend using both. Though there are many new books available nowadays, like Finnish in dialogues, basic Finnish in a month etc. I'd include a hint that it's better to download the various textbooks online and see what you want, because these also seemed fine to me but I've not used them myself. A good dictionary was published by Victoria Plus (St Petersburg), along with the book by Чернявская (it even has an almost identical cover). I think those who speak English (or German, French) tend to use foreign materials. There's also a fairly new series for different languages, offering a textbook, "general" grammar reference book, separate reference book for verbs, a phrasebook and a fairly small dictionary (5000 words) in those fairly common languages with few/not enough resources, like Portuguese, Danish, Romanian, Croatian (even separately for Croatian and Serbian I think), Swedish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Finnish etc etc etc... you get the picture. I'm wary of them because it's one publisher and way too many languages/books. As for Langenscheidt, it just covers more than TY/Colloquial do. I went through it after knowing those two books I mentioned inside out (and I think I had also gone through TY by then, but I'm not sure), and I still learned a lot. I have no idea if it's a good introduction, but it does take you very far. It's the equivalent of going through an intermediate AND advanced textbook for, say, Spanish, and from what I remember (might be wrong) there's enough material for it to be stretched over like 3 years in the classroom, two for sure. (one caveat is that at that point I wanted "MOAR GRAMMAR" and my next step was going to the main Foreign Language Library in Moscow and checking out various scientific books to find even more structures to learn and practice. That's how I got so good that even YKI rated my grammar as C2 :)) Edited by Serpent on 11 October 2012 at 1:21am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |
