Finnish Easy Reading Book Series
FINNISH EASY READING is an easy-to-read book series in simple Finnish, on three levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced). The books are adapted following the author’s original style. They are suitable for those who study Finnish, as well as for Finnish natives who find the language complexity of the original texts too challenging.

“Todays is fathers day in Finland”, sounds much simpler than “today Fathers day is celibrated in Finland”
I am sure it must be possible to produce interesting simple finnish for foreigners that is easier to read than what is typically described as helpposuomea. Not everybody is a language genius and Finnish is known to be a difficult language.
