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: Aleksi sat by his room's window, looking out at the awakening spring. Fi: Orpokodin pihan nurmikot alkoivat vihertää ja puiden oksilla lepäsi pieniä silmuja. En: The lawns of the orphanage's yard were beginning to turn green, and small buds rested on the tree branches. Fi: Hän mietti Nuuksion kansallispuistoa. En: He thought about the Nuuksio National Park. Fi: Hän kuvitteli polkuja, kalliota ja metsän tuoksua. En: He imagined the trails, the rocks, and the scent of the forest.
