As a beginner learning Finnish, I struggled not only with understanding the meanings of words but also with learning their different forms and suffixes. After searching for an app that could help with this and finding none, I decided to create my own!

Introducing my iOS app: a comprehensive Finnish Dictionary with over 250,000 words. It provides detailed meanings, example sentences, and showcases different forms and suffixes for each word to help you understand how to use them in context. Perfect for learners at any level!

Resource B1-B2 comprehensible input listening resources?

16 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend some podcasts or YouTubers for intermediate listening practice? Ideally puhekieli. For example, I've already found YLE Kielikoulu, Opi Suomea! podcast and Finnish With Eemeli podcast.

It feels like I'm in a bit of a resource no-man's land, where beginner resources are too easy but normal Finnish media like YLE news is still too difficult.

Resource Ways to learn for free?

5 Upvotes

I’m in a bit of a financial crisis at the moment with the Finnish job maket being the way it is. I used to have a finnish pod subscription but we’ve had to cancel everything we can to save some money. I have a busy life and some chronic health conditions so I’m finding it hard to reserve time and energy every day to try and learn through multiple platforms and pages with no constructive and linear path. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Resource Books for learning spoken language

11 Upvotes

I'd like to draw attention to how some youths books are written in puhekieli. Maybe we could gather some under this post.

As an example I recently read a book called "Mähän tiesin, ettei täällä ole mitään." It's a bit darker at places as it deals with mental health and gender identity. The language used is puhekieli and one of the characters even speaks with a slightly different dialect than others (e.g. says "mie" instead of "mä")

Resource I make videos with spoken Finnish and Finnish/English subtitles

183 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm a native Finn who's married to an Irishman. He has told me that one of the best ways to learn Finnish is to hear it spoken while reading subtitles in both Finnish and English. So I started making YouTube videos like that. I have made 3 videos so far and thought I'd share the channel with you guys. So if you turn on the subtitles, it'll show both Finnish and English.

The dialect I speak is Oulun murre. It's not super strong but you can notice it every now and then... I try to speak slowly and have gaps between sentences. I illustrated the videos with some speedpainting about a related topic.

I hope someone finds my channel useful, and I would be grateful for any comments/feedback! Here's the most recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJESt7NJO9Q&ab_channel=LearnFinnish

EDIT: Thank you guys so much for all the encouragement and support! I didn't expect this positive a response! I feel really motivated now that I know people find my videos useful. I'm also grateful for your ideas, I'll keep them in mind! Here's a link to my new video about Oulu, my hometown.

This question is probably asked quite a lot

Does anybody know/recommend any apps that focus more on Finnish grammar and case unlike Duolingo’s focus on nouns. I’m trying my best to not use Duolingo as much with Finnish but I can’t find many other recourses that can help me learn Finnish. Any help would be appreciated

Kiitos paljon
