First some facts about the Ask a librarian, http://www.libraries.fi/ask_librarian/ . It is the joint online reference inquiry service of the Finnish libraries.

You can search the Helmet library database in the address www.helmet.fi - change language into English and then choose Keyword search. Write there "suomen kieli kielikurssit" (Finnish language, language courses) and choose cd as material type. There are several Finnish courses that also include cds.

It is impossible to say anything reliable about the trend of oil price in forthcoming 2 years. The oil price has been going down rapidly recently and there is no end in sight. But after the price drop, the price will certainly increase again.
Many specialists have been talking about the oil running out. Some say, that this is miscalculation. If the oil is running out, the crude oil price is obviously going very high.
You can find a lot of information and speculation about the oil price.
Here is links to some of the sites:
