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: Helsingin Kauppatori was busy and colorful in the middle of summer. Fi: Ihmiset kerääntyivät torikojuille ostamaan tuoreita marjoja ja käsitöitä.
