That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Finnish, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Finnish and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

En: Spring had arrived at Utopia Comprehensive School's yard. Fi: Kukat kukkivat kaikissa väreissä ja tuuli toi mukanaan lämpimiä tuulahduksia.
