If you really want to learn to speak Finnish, then the best method would be to come and live here. The second best would be a language course with a native speaker teaching. However, if you just want to have a feel what this language is all about, maybe before you make a decision to pay for a course or a language trip, then some online resources could be good.
Some sites where you can find a couple of basic phrases with audio examples:

Those could be handy if you are going to come here as a tourist and need just a couple of phrases to have in reserve. However, if you want to learn the language, you'll need something else. A couple of days ago I found one interesting resource:
http://www.mylanguageexchange.com/Learn/Finnish.asp
Basically that one is about getting an online friend who is a native speaker of the language you want to learn, and who wants to learn your language. Via e-mails, instant messaging and voice chat you can teach each other quite well. The idea sounds great, though I haven't tried it myself, so I can't be sure. I think it depends quite a lot about the friend you happen to get... But I think that would be worth a try!

There's a website called Rosetta Stone that sells packages around $200 to learn a language.
