Study Finnish

The Study Finnish website is a resource for exploring different aspects of the Finnish language. The content is primarily written in English and aims to be clear, accessible, and easy to follow. While immersion is one of the best ways to learn a language, explanations in one’s native language can help make unfamiliar concepts easier to understand.

Unlike most of Europe’s major languages, which belong to the Indo-European language family (Opens in new window), Finnish is part of the Uralic language family (Opens in new window). This makes it more closely related to Estonian and distantly related to Hungarian. Finnish has its own unique grammar, vocabulary, and ways of expressing ideas, so it often feels quite different from other languages. Understanding Finnish often requires looking at language from a new perspective, which is part of what makes it such a rewarding language to explore.
