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.

En: Kaisa sat in her bright apartment in Helsinki. Fi: Freelancer’s Home, kuten hän sitä kutsui, oli hänen tukikohtansa ja inspiraation lähde. En: Freelancer’s Home, as she called it, was her base and source of inspiration. Fi: Ikkunasta tulviva valo herätti vanhat muistot lapsuuden juhannuksista maalla. En: The light pouring in from the window awakened old memories of childhood midsummer celebrations in the countryside. Fi: Nyt hän valmistautui uuteen seikkailuun ystäviensä Matin ja Aleksin kanssa.
