Finnish Tutor: Grammar and Vocabulary Workbook (Learn Finnish with Teach Yourself): Advanced beginner to upper intermediate course (Tutors)

Great grammar work book.
This book is not for total beginners, rather for students who already know the basics of grammar and quite a bit of vocabulary.If you're learning on your own outside a class environment, this book can help you with some ideas and prompts to practise your Finnish.

A good grammar workbook.
This is a useful workbook if studying Finnish but I think it is for a level somewhat beyond rank beginner. One of the first exercises is in consonant gradation and has no explanation of what the student is required to do or know. It seems to assume a fair level of competence already, so I must put it to one side until I have progressed sufficiently. However, looking ahead, it does appear to build grammatical skills and vocabulary as well as suggesting various home-study techniques.

Not comprehensive - But very good examples.
It's difficult to evaluate a language grammar book, except by the expectations fulfilled. I might have imagined a more comprehensive content, but what has been presented is both practical and well explained. The challenge with a language like Finnish is its complexity and subtlety within that complexity, but I feel this book deals with enough subject matter to make it an asset. I gave it 5 stars because of the balance it achieves with the subject matter covered.

Beginner? i don't think so...
i like that this book exists! but it's not exactly for an advanced beginner i don't think. this would be very useful to someone who is at least already intermediate level. i'm not quite there yet but when i am i feel this will be helpful in my vocabulary!. x

Excellent book
I do recommand buying this book as it's one of the best finnish auto learning book on the market and it's very clear and the paper is quality paper.From a french native person, explanations clear and u'll understand the thing very fastly.

Solid contents, but not for beginners
I got this book early into my Finnish learning journey and it was basically impossible for me to follow at the time.One year later, an entire Duolingo course and some additional learning on top and the book is now useful.Would say don't pick up this book until you are around A2 level and have learned a fair bit on Finnish grammar (or have accompanying material).

This isn't bad, but is rated as for Advanced Beginner
This isn't bad, but is rated as for Advanced Beginner. I bought it as I was frustrated with trying to learn from the Complete Finnish book, but wasn't explaining why you used a word with one ending in one situation and with another ending in another situation, in other words the grammar.All my questions (as I got frustrated in the first quarter of the teach yourself book) were assumed as already known by an advanced beginner. Thus the combination of books still doesn't help me.

Don’t listen to the other commenters...
As it says, this book is for advanced intermediate (B1-B2) learners and is a tutor to supplement other texts or as a grammar course, but still for intermediate learners (i.e. review and build confidence).As an advanced learner of Finnish, this book is excellent for quick review and practice.The lessons are well-structured and hits all of the key points of grammar and appropriate vocabulary for those topics.This is not a beginner’s (A1, A2.1) course and is definitely not for conversation.

Good if you know the grammar rules beforehand.
I haven't really been able to do anything in the book because I don't know the 15 cases. Or much of any other rules for that matter because it doesn't explain the grammar rules. I've learned more from google than anything so far. It says beginner to intermediate but for me it is not a book beginners want to use.

Wonderful teaching tool. As book says you need some background before using this book.
