Finnish Vocabulary
The Finnish vocabulary on this page is roughly divided in three different levels. However, my own point of view is that as a foreign language learner you should pick the subjects you want to talk about rather than blindly following someone’s suggestion. Good luck to everyone trying to broaden their vocabulary!
