BT - Suomen mestari 3. Opettajan opas.
There is only one version of Suomen mestari 3 and 4. The revamp of the whole series is still underway, so you can expect an updated version sometime in the future. I will update this article as more information becomes available, but for now (May 2024), there has been no announcement about a publishing schedule for a new version of this book. The old version of this book is definitely also a good investment.
Suomen mestari 4 could be suitable for self-study. You can stream the audio online for free, which is a definite asset, and the solutions to the exercises are included in the back of the book. Some exercise types do not lend themselves to self-study (mainly conversation prompts), but at this level, you should be able to use those exercises in different ways if you have no one to do them with.
The last book of the Suomen mestari series feels more rushed than the other parts. This is noticeable by how many new things are introduced in each chapter. The writers have also been unable to continue the system of introducing one vocabulary topic per chapter: the chapters contain a lot of random vocabulary. This book can feel too difficult to students who have just made it to level B1.1.

I think Suomen mestari 4 is very nice for students who are already level B1 and are working on getting to level B2. If you’re mainly looking for a book to learn and practice and , you will also get a lot out of this book, as each chapter covers a different participle or construction. In addition to these, the book pays special attention to and their derivation, and . I personally consider those much more important than the participles. The book starts by teaching you one participle at a time, and then starts combining them when getting to and other complex sentence types.

As such, I’m a little bit baffled why Finn Lectura is selling the solutions of specifically the listening exercises separately.

Vocabulary topics present in Suomen mestari 3 cover more abstract topics than the previous books. You can find, for example, content related to Finnish culture and art, protection of the environment, Finland’s history, geography and social life. Combined with this are topics that immigrants in Finland might run into, such as writing an email about one’s residence permit to the police. There are also several topics which require the learner to compare the situation in their home country to that in Finland (e.g. family and city life). Being able to compare more abstract topics is of great importance if you intend to participate in the YKI-testi. A lot of detail has also been put into expressing your opinion and feelings.
