About this app

SuomiSpeak is the only app built from the ground up for learning Finnish. Master 4,500+ words, all 15 noun cases, hands-free speaking practice, spoken Finnish (puhekieli) and Finnish culture — from complete beginner (A1) to advanced (C1).

Every lesson, every drill, every word was designed specifically for Finnish learners — not bolted on as an afterthought.

WHAT MAKES SUOMISPEAK DIFFERENT

Finnish is one of the hardest languages for English speakers. The 15 noun cases alone make most apps useless after the basics. SuomiSpeak does not just teach Finnish words — it teaches how Finnish works, from talo to talossa, talosta, taloon, and talolle.

HANDS-FREE SPEAKING PRACTICE

Our standout feature. Practice Finnish completely voice-driven — no typing, no tapping:

• Daily Challenge with streak tracking — speak 5 words a day, build a habit
• Words and Sentences mode — practice individual words or full sentences
• English to Finnish and Finnish to English — train both recall and comprehension
• Relaxed, Normal, or Fast speed — for every skill level
• 100+ topic filters — focus on food, travel, numbers, family, and more
• Smart speech recognition — handles vowel harmony, number words, and Finnish pronunciation quirks

SPOKEN FINNISH (PUHEKIELI)

Textbooks teach "minä olen" — but Finns say "mä oon." SuomiSpeak is the only app that teaches the real spoken Finnish people actually use every day:

• 50+ real-life spoken conversations — café, shopping, small talk, and more
• Spoken and standard "book" forms shown side by side
• Word-by-word translations for every line
• Natural audio for each line — hear exactly how it sounds
• Listen, repeat, then speak it back to check yourself
