As well as a wonderful study guide for English as a second language students. According to Wikipedia: "Finnish is the language spoken by the majority of the population in Finland (92% as of 2006) and by ethnic Finns outside Finland. It is one of the two official languages of Finland and an official minority language in Sweden. In Sweden, both standard Finnish and Me nkieli, a Finnish dialect, are spoken. Finnish is spoken by about five million people who reside mainly in Finland. There are also notable Finnish-speaking minorities in Sweden, Norway, Russia, Estonia, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. The majority of the population of Finland, 90.37% as of 2010, speak Finnish as their first language. The remainder speak Swedish (5.42%), Sami (Northern, Inari, Skolt) and other languages. It has achieved some popularity as a second language in Estonia." Creations by Crouch was fortunate to find a Finnish speaker who agreed to translate our books.
