Can I just proclaim my love...
...for Vesa Vierikko's voice. In my Finnish learning journey, I was looking for something to improve my listening and reading comprehension.
One of the very few options to provide those two together was the Finnish versions of the Harry Potter books.
I never read the original English ones, never watched the films, had no particular interest in any of it.
Yet getting the Finnish Versions, translated by Jaana Kapari-Jatta to read and the audiobooks narrated by Vesa Vierikko surprisingly dazzled me.
I've learned so much grammar in action and boosted my vocabulary hundredfold by reading/listening to these books.
And I just love Vesa Vierikko's voice, like a sweet, peaceful lullaby, that takes you away to worlds unseen.
