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: Kaarina looked out at the colorful houses of Reykjavik. Fi: Keväinen sade ropisi ikkunaan ja muistutti häntä siitä, miksi hän oli tullut. En: The spring rain pattered against the window and reminded her why she had come. Fi: Hän kaipasi lepoa ja rauhoittumista. En: She longed for rest and relaxation. Fi: Kaarinan ystävä, Mikko, seisoi vieressä suunnitellen matkaa lähimpään kuumaan lähteeseen. En: Kaarina's friend, Mikko, stood beside her, planning a trip to the nearest hot spring. Fi: Heillä oli paikallisopas Hilja mukanaan, joka kehui luonnonihmeitä. En: They had a local guide, Hilja, with them, who praised the natural wonders.
