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: Aino stood on the busy Aleksanterinkatu in the city. Fi: Syksyn raikas tuuli tuiversi hänen hiuksiaan. En: The crisp autumn wind tousled her hair. Fi: Aino hymyili itsekseen. En: Aino smiled to herself. Fi: Hän oli juuri saanut ylennyksen ja uusi titteli tuntui hyvältä. En: She had just received a promotion and the new title felt good.
