SuomiSpeak is the only app built from the ground up for learning Finnish. Master 4,500+ words, all 15 noun cases, hands-free speaking, spoken Finnish (puhekieli), and job-specific Finnish for nurses and drivers — from complete beginner (A1) to advanced (C1).
WHAT MAKES SUOMISPEAK DIFFERENT
Finnish is one of the hardest languages for English speakers. The 15 noun cases alone make most apps useless after the basics. SuomiSpeak does not just teach Finnish words — it teaches how Finnish works, from talo to talossa, talosta, taloon, and talolle.
HANDS-FREE SPEAKING PRACTICE
Our standout feature. Practice Finnish voice-driven — no typing, no tapping:
• Daily Challenge with streak tracking — speak 5 words a day, build a habit
• Words and Sentences mode — practice individual words or full sentences
• English to Finnish and Finnish to English — train recall and comprehension
• Relaxed, Normal, or Fast speed — for every skill level
• 100+ topic filters — food, travel, numbers, family, and more
• Smart speech recognition tuned for Finnish pronunciation and vowel harmony
SPOKEN FINNISH (PUHEKIELI)
Textbooks teach "minä olen" — but Finns say "mä oon." SuomiSpeak is the only app that teaches the real spoken Finnish people use every day:
• 50+ real-life spoken conversations — café, shopping, small talk, and more
• Spoken and standard "book" forms side by side
• Word-by-word translations for every line
• Natural audio for each line
• Listen, repeat, then speak it back to check yourself

I recently came across the SuomiSpeak app through a Reddit post while preparing for my move to Finland for the next couple of years. Since learning Finnish is one of my top priorities, I decided to give it a try—and I’m really glad I did.I’ve been using the app for a few days now, and my experience has been very positive so far. This app is great for beginners. It’s a solid choice for anyone planning to move to Finland or simply interested in learning Finnish. I’m looking forward to continuing my learning journey with it.
Very easy to learn Finnish language

I’ve been using this Finnish learning app for a few weeks and really enjoy it. The lessons are short, engaging, and make a difficult language feel approachable. The repetition and clear pronunciation have helped me build confidence quickly.It’s great for daily practice and staying consistent. Highly recommend for anyone starting to learn Finnish!

Fun to use

Finnish is one of the hardest languages to learn 😥, but for me, SuomiSpeak makes it feel much more manageable. I started my Finnish learning journey with Duolingo, but I find SuomiSpeak easier to use and much richer in content. The lessons feel more practical, and it really helps me understand how the language is used in real life.

Thank you so much! This really means a lot 🙏 Comments like yours keep us going!
Seems legit

Was skeptical but actually enjoying the lessons. Better than I expected to be honestly. Aldo the functions are very easy to use and understand. Loving it so far
• Search — find any lesson or topic instantly from the home screen.
• Completed lessons are now grouped by category, so your history is easier to browse.
• The home screen now shows your level progress as a completed / total count.
• Fixed a bug where the last lesson in a section could appear to vanish after you finished the others in it — sections now stay put.
