Welcome to this special corner of my website Uusi kielemme! Here, you can find all kinds of goodies for you to learn and practice your Finnish with. Below, you can find more information about what type of content you can find here!

1. Interactive Exercises

These exercises are mainly wordpress-based fill-in-the-blanks exercises, with additional links to exercise games made with quizlet. They are aimed to allow you to practice both vocabulary and grammar; though certain topics will be more grammar-focused and others more vocabulary-focused. LINK

2. Language Lessons

These lessons contain vocabulary related to a topic and grammar explanations related to said topic. Also included in every lesson are exercises at various levels such as fill-in-the-gap exercises, translation exercises and reading texts. The files come with solutions and translations to all the exercises included. LINK

3. Games and Puzzles

Generally, games and puzzles are meant to give you a prompt to learn new vocabulary or to practice forming sentences. They are meant to help you reinforce and develop your Finnish language skills. These files probably work best if you can get another learner or a Finn to join you when you use them. LINK

Don’t have anyone to chat with or correct these exercises? Please don’t give up on taking this opportunity to talk out loud or write something in Finnish! Of course it is nice to get feedback on your language skills. However, talking and writing will help you become more fluent regardless of whether you’re being corrected. You’re challenging your brain to come up with the right words (please don’t google translate everything). Constantly running into “I don’t know how to say this” can be useful if you write down those types of phrases and ask someone later or look them up.

4. PDF worksheets

Worksheets give you random exercises based on a picture. They aren’t accompanied by an explanation of the grammar, but they do contain links to my website and you get the answers to all the exercises. These are a way for me to produce more content without overworking myself. LINK
