The Finnish in this doesn't make sense. It translates "please" to "olkaa hyvää", which means "here you go". And it has "Is service included?" in the restaurant section (Finland is not a tipping country). Also, I got locked in somewhere and had to ring the building to get let out, and there was nothing in the phrase book to say anything like "trapped", "stuck", "locked" or anything like that. Never touching Berlitz again.
It includes the phrases alright, but the pronunciations leave a bit to be desired. I'm glad I know how to pronounce Finnish words.
good back-up for the Finnish for your trip cd and small booklet. i will carry both with me to helsinki
The pronunciations are wildly off. Not the most common words and phrases.
