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. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

En: By the lake, in the yard of the summer cottage, tall pines grew. Fi: Aamu oli raikas, ja Juhannus lähestyi nopeasti. En: The morning was fresh, and Juhannus was quickly approaching. Fi: Tuula, Eemeli ja Liisa saapuivat mökille perjantai-iltapäivänä. En: Tuula, Eemeli, and Liisa arrived at the cottage on Friday afternoon.
