# Finnish resources

I am a native speaker so I am uncertain of the quality of these.

## Learning

- [Hacking Finnish at Memrise](https://app.memrise.com/course/134598/hacking-finnish/)
  - [Wayback machine: Hacking Languages by BenWhately on The Official Memrise Blog](https://web.archive.org/web/20160118103207/http://www.memrise.com/blog/hacking-languages/)
- [YLE Suomi/Finnish learning](https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2015/12/15/suomi-finnish)
  - [Finnish sign language](https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2015/12/15/viittomakieli)
- [Duolingo](https://duolingo.com/) has a Finnish course, but may be a bit
  steep curve and the mobile app often is missing grammar help available
  through the (mobile/) web interface
- [Taste of Finnish (HTTP!)](http://tasteoffinnish.fi/)
- [WordDive](https://www.worddive.com/en/) has a Finnish course, paid, but
  I think with a free trial option.

### Advanceish

- [YLE Kielikoulu/Språkskolan](https://yle.fi/aihe/kielikoulu-sprakskolan)
  is Finnish/Swedish learning through YLE's video content
- [Clozemaster](https://www.clozemaster.com/) has random phrases which may
  be useful after some level of understanding the language.

### Misc

- [Finland.fi: tag language](https://finland.fi/tag/language/)
  - [Finland.fi: how the heck do you learn Finland part 1?](https://finland.fi/life-society/how-the-heck-do-you-learn-finnish-part-1/)
- [Pedanet Finnish language learning materials online](https://peda.net/kuopio/kansalaisopisto/kielet/sal/skol)
  - I picked _Taste of Finnish_ from here
- [Teaching and Culture Ministry's material list](https://www.oph.fi/fi/tilastot-ja-julkaisut/julkaisut?publication_type%5BOppimateriaali%5D=Oppimateriaali#)
  - _Maahanmuuttajakoulutus_ under _Aiheet/teemat_ is immigrant education,
    but these appear to be more of tailored for Finnish teachers

## Finnish courses

- [(Open) University of Helsinki; Finnish for foreigners](https://www.helsinki.fi/en/admissions-and-education/open-university/open-university-studies-degree-programme/languages-and-literatures-finland/finnish-foreigners)

## Simple Finnish news

- [YLE Uutiset selkosuomeksi](https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/selkouutiset/),
  TV/Radio news in plain/simple Finnish spoken slowly
