http://www.samiduodji.com/tuotteet.html?id=2/ I bought Gulahalan 1 & 2, Oanehis giellaoahppa and Timo K. Mukka's Sipirjá in Sami translation all for 41€ including postage. Sadly Davvin books were very expensive on their shop, 16,50€ when they're usually 12€ at maximum... You might also want to check out Davvi Girji, that's the publisher of most of these books. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Oh (*a little disappointed*). I do know those places although the price for each volume of Davvin is a bit higher than when I was in Inari a couple of years ago. Each book cost 8 euros then while its accompanying CD costs 5 euros. It seems now that when buying online you're sold the book with its CD at a higher combined price. I still think that it's not a bad deal. 16 Euros for each volume of Davvin isn't the worst expenditure in the world. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I didn't realise the Davvin books had CDs with them! That explains the price. Thanks for pointing it out haha. I might have to make another order sometime... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

..when you can remember details about times long past through what languages you were
studying at that time and what levels you were at. I listen to songs in my target language too and the bands I listen to tend to change over time. I associate Finnish with memories of my time spent in lower secondary school because I was studying it then. The first Finnish band I listened to was Apulanta, specifically the song Jumala. I associate that song with the city that I used to live in when I listened to it religiously (the two things are just connected in my mind). I also associate songs from the band Pariisin Kevät with the winter of 2012, because that's when I started to listen to them (their band name actually means Parisian Spring though..). I could go on with these examples. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

You haven't listed Finnish as one you study nor speak though, is this really the case? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Yeah, I stopped learning around last year during mid-year school exams because I didn't get far and because I really needed to concentrate on French instead (which is mandatory for my school). Now, I only know some words and no grammar, so this is pretty much useless; for example I know that a word that starts with raka(s)- might have something to do with the word "love" but I don't know what exactly. (Also, I had many troubles with the R sound and thought/think that it would hinder intelligibility) 1 person has voted this message useful |
