Learn Finnish Language
How to learn the Finnish language as a complete beginner
I was thinking of relocating to Finland because I am interested in their opinions on Education. In Finland, education is a basic right. Not as a privilege. I grew up in countries where education is expensive, and only some lucky people can afford to get to great schools. Education is also expensive in Finland because it is of high quality. But since their vision of education is "as a basic right", all programs in which Finnish is the language of instruction are free. That is the purpose of writing this post. If you are interested in getting a free education and want to commit to learning Finnish, let's find out together in this article.
My plan for learning Finnish is to learn 25 new words every Monday to Friday. So every week, I will learn 125 new vocabulary words. I use an application called Drops and practice with it. The application shows the words with some repetition in between. So, it took around 1 hour to learn 25 words. For the rest of the day, I practice the previously learned words whenever I can find the time. Mostly, I can spare 3 hours a day to learn Finnish. So, 1 hour to learn 25 new words and another 2 hours to practice the previously learned words. Having an application makes it so much easier to progress.
