Suomi: Learn Finnish

Most language apps teach you to say "the cat drinks milk". Then you land in Finland, and a letter from Kela decides whether you can stay.

Suomi is built for that person: someone whose residency, job or citizenship depends on the language. It covers the part everyone else skips.

12,284 WORDS, IN THE ORDER THAT PAYS OFF
Core 1000 is the vocabulary behind roughly half of everything Finns say. Learn it first, in small units, and speech stops being noise. Beyond it: work, healthcare, childcare, bureaucracy, school, travel, nature — 24 themes in all.

ALL 15 CASES, ONE AT A TIME
56 grammar rules in real sentences, covering every Finnish case, consonant gradation and all six verb types. A rule unlocks once you have actually met it in a word you know. Mixed practice makes you produce the form instead of picking it from a menu.

YKI B1 PREPARATION
A dedicated track for the exam that stands between you and permanent residency: the vocabulary, the forms and the situations it tests.

READ REAL FINNISH FROM DAY ONE
250 graded texts from A1 to C1. Tap any word for its meaning, hear any sentence read aloud, and watch words you have learned light up inside a real text.

SPOKEN FINNISH, NOT ONLY BOOK FINNISH
Nobody on the street says "minä olen". Learn mä oon, sun, tuu next to the written forms, so you recognise both.

TRAIN YOUR EAR
Length is meaning: tuli, tuuli, tulli are three different words. Listening drills teach you to hear it instead of guessing.

1,616 SENTENCES
Word order drilled three words at a time, until Finnish syntax stops feeling backwards.

PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE
A two-minute placement test puts you where you belong instead of starting everyone at zero — and you can move your own level any time. Words known, CEFR level from A1 to C1, streak, accuracy, and how many days the next level is away at your current pace.

SUOMI PRO
Free gives you 20 new cards a day and unlimited review of everything you have already met, the first three reading texts, and drills for the core cases. Pro lifts the daily limit and opens the whole reading library and targeted practice for every grammar rule, as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

No ads, no accounts and no streak guilt-tripping either way. Every theme is open from day one — the free tier rations new cards, never reviews. Stop paying and everything you have learned stays on your device.

FULLY OFFLINE
Everything runs on your device, at Kela, on the metro, in a cottage with no signal. Nothing is collected and nothing leaves your phone.

Interface in 26 languages, among them English, Ukrainian, Arabic, Somali, Kurdish, Persian, Vietnamese and Thai.
