An online course in Finnish: Read 'Numeroruuhka' in May

I have designed an online course to help and encourage you to read Numeroruuhka in easy Finnish this May. I’d love for you to join the course!

Minä ja Numeroruuhka-selkokirja

What kind of a book is it?

The original book was written by Eve Hietamies, and I have rewritten it in easy Finnish. Numeroruuhka is the fourth book in the so-called Yösyöttö series. Antti Pasanen is a 50-year-old journalist and a single dad to 10-year-old Paavo Pasanen. The book follows Antti’s life, including his challenges with his girlfriend Enni, his father’s recovery from a stroke, and his work as a journalist.

You can read this book even if you haven’t read the previous ones. I will also provide a short summary of what has happened in Antti’s life before Numeroruuhka. You can take a look at a sample here. 

Here’s a post I wrote about Numeroruuhka when it was first published in 2023:
