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: Sunlight filtered through the large office building windows. Fi: Ulkona helteinen kesäpäivä houkutteli puistoon, mutta sisällä, Helsingissä sijaitsevassa yrityksessä, tunnelma oli kaikkea muuta kuin rento. En: Outside, a sweltering summer day beckoned to the park, but inside the company located in Helsinki, the atmosphere was anything but relaxed.
