What you get

Everything a word needs to stick

Not just a translation. Every word comes with the forms you will meet in real sentences, and the sentences themselves.

1,000 words by frequency

Picked by how often Finns actually use them, so the first weeks already cover everyday speech.

Key word forms

Genitive, partitive and illative for nouns; the persons for verbs. The forms that trip people up, right on the card.

Two real sentences

Every word shows up in two example sentences, so you learn how it is used and not only what it means.

Storybook pictures

Over 200 words come with a soft illustration, because a picture is easier to recall than a line of text.

Hear every word

A speaker button pronounces each word, so you are not guessing where the stress goes.

Add your own

Met a word at work or in a shop? Add it in seconds and it joins the same schedule as the rest.
