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.

Maybe you want to speak Finnish with your grandparents from Helsinki?

En: The autumn evening was gradually turning into night. Fi: Annikki istui kapeassa sängyssään, nojaten huoneen koleaa seinää vasten. En: Annikki sat on her narrow bed, leaning against the chilly wall of the room. Fi: Pikkuinen huone, jota hän jakoi Jussin kanssa, näytti tavanomaiselta; kirjoja, vaatteita ja kasveja oli levitettynä sinne tänne. En: The small room, which she shared with Jussi, looked ordinary; books, clothes, and plants were scattered here and there. Fi: Seinillä roikkui vanhoja bändijulisteita, jotka muistuttivat nuoruudesta ja vapaudesta. En: Old band posters hung on the walls, reminding of youth and freedom.

Fi: Annikki sytytti kynttilän, jonka liekki loi hehkuvan tunnelmavalaistuksen. En: Annikki lit a candle, its flame casting a warm, ambient light. Fi: Koputus ovelta. En: A knock on the door.
