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.

En: The spring sun shone brightly through the window of the hospital room. Fi: Vehreys ulkona muistutti uuden kasvun aikaa, mutta sisällä vallitsi jännitys. En: The greenery outside reminded one of the season of new growth, but inside, tension prevailed. Fi: Aino istui isoäitinsä vieressä. En: Aino sat next to her grandmother.
