Ooh, I'll get onto it straight away.

A very basic thing to remember, though, is that Finnish is a totally different language from Swedish and Norwegian, so knowing either of those is of no help, unfortunately. Except that many Finns have Swedish surnames - but those are often pronounced in a more Finnish way (pronoun)

EDIT: Quite a good pronounciation, especially of the word Madetoja.
