New Finnish words

I have decided to brush up on my Finnish, learn some new words and basically prepare myself for a return to Finland in June. I am planning to use Finnish a lot more than I have before, as I tended to rely on English to get by.

I found a website called Quizlet a while ago which helps you to learn stuff. You can put in terms and definitions and it gives you different ways of learning, using games, timed exercises etc.

My idea is to try and read one of Minna and Heikki's Finnish books (recently put into the new shelving we have in the dining room) and learn the new vocab the book spits at me.

Here is an example of some new words I just found browsing through the dictionary. See how well you do! I finished in 23 seconds.
