Finnish School » Thank you for donating!! - The fast, fun, and free way to learn the Finnish language online.

How does it work?

It primarily works as a vocabulary builder. Imagine taking all your flashcards and making them into a fun online game. You will be given 20-25 words in either Finnish or English. At first you can use multiple choice. Once you're comfortable with that you type in the word directly. And once you're comfortable with that you take a quiz on those words and move on to a new set of words.

How many vocabulary words are there?

Currently there are over 4,600 Finnish words. More are always being added.

Finnish School tracks your progress

The online tool keeps track of your progress and remembers which word sets you've completed. Login from any computer and continue from where you left off.

Why do I need to sign-up?

For two reasons: Finnish School needs to know who you are so it can remember which word sets you've completed. Secondly, in case you forgot your username/password, it can e-mail it to you.

I don't like giving away my e-mail address

I hate giving mine away too, but I can promise that your e-mail address and account info will NEVER EVER leave Finnish School.

Does this cost anything?

Finnish School has been free for four years now, but because of expensive server costs, I'm asking for a small 5 euro donation. The first three levels are completely free - if you find the web site useful and would like to learn more, I feel 5 euros is a small amount to ask.

Why become a Finnish School member

Finnish students who are serious about learning the language spend quite a bit of money each year on books, CDs, classes, and tutors - and I think 5 euros (the price of a beer at the pub) is a small donation to make for such a useful service like Finnish School.

With the donations I'll be motivated to develop the site further, provide users with better support, and hopefully be able to compensate for my expensive monthly server fees. Finnish School members will receive the following...

- Access to all vocabulary levels
- Priority support via e-mail
- BETA testing to all upcoming site features

Why are you doing this?

I'm an immigrant in Finland originally from the United States. I got tired of writing words on expensive flash cards, so I wrote this program.

Why are you using a blog?

For announcments and feedback. If there's any new changes to the site or problems, I'll announce it on this blog. And I really want your feedback to improve this site, so you can use the comment sections to share your thoughts.

I have a question, comment, concern, suggestions, problem, rant...
