Two Resources to Learn the Finnish Language for Free: Online Wikibooks and Byki Freeware

Finnish should be on Free Language by now. Ahhh... if only there were all the time in the world! But a recent email from a site user brought Finnish to our attention, and we will make it a point to add Finnish as soon as possible. Since we were unable to email the user back due to email issues on their end, this info is going up here on the blog.

Until a proper section for Finnish is up and running, there are two resources we'd recommend:

A Wikibook for Learning Finnish
Byki Language Freeware for over 70 Foreign Languages (including Finnish)

If you are interested in learning Finnish, please consider signing up for the Free Language Letter so you'll hear about it as soon as Finnish is added to the site!

Best of luck to you in your Finnish learning endeavors! And please recommend Free Language to anyone interested in learning foreign languages. :)

UPDATE: For those with a working knowledge of Finnish seeking listening practice, have a look at the Selkouutiset News in Plain Finnish Podcast.

Testing a BETA Spanish Product eBay Deal Finder

I just launched a very BETA version of what I am calling a "deal finder" for users interested in finding deals on commercial products for learning Spanish:

Spanish Auctions with Deals, Discounts and Specials

The deal finder uses the Build a Niche Store technology, a popular Web software that helps create eBay niche stores.

Hopefully this will be a way for folks to quickly and easily find deals on audiobooks, software, gadgets and electronics, textbooks and more for learning Spanish.

Depending on how the BETA goes, I might launch stores for some of the other more popular languages that Free Language users are interested in, such as Arabic, Mandarin Chinese and English.

Have a look if this interests you! Currently, the deal finder is available for the US eBay Market, but I'll also set them up for other markets in due time if this goes well.
