What it actually is

Inge's site is the reference English speakers actually use for Finnish grammar: consonant gradation, all six verb types, the case system and endless vocabulary lists, each explained patiently with examples. The interactive exercises that used to sit behind a points system are now free for everyone. It is a reference rather than a curriculum, so you need a course or teacher to tell you what order to learn things in.
