Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. 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. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story.

Maybe you want to speak Finnish with your grandparents from Helsinki?

En: The summer sun blazed hotly in Egypti. Fi: Suuri pyramidi Gizan yllä kohoili majesteettisesti, ikuisuuden merkkinä. En: The great pyramid loomed majestically over Giza, a symbol of eternity.
