Description
With Yle Kielikoulu - Yle Språkskolan you can watch Yle’s programs and get help to develop your Finnish or Swedish language while learning everything about Finland. This is the app for you who is a refugee, newly arrived or other immigrant to Finland.
- Click words and expressions in closed captions in Finnish and get language support to six common immigrant languages. For closed captions in Swedish get language support to twenty-five common immigrant languages. See full lists below.
- Read the closed captions separately with integrated language exercises

In onboarding enter your current language level (CEFR scale) :
A1 (beginner) if you understand very common words and simple sentences
A2 (basic) if you can read short and simple texts
B1 (intermediate) if you can understand texts with everyday language
B2 (upper intermediate) if you can read texts about modern problems and different views
C1 (advanced) if you can understand long and complex texts with different styles
C2 (fluent) if you can understand all kinds of texts
If you know little (A1) or don’t know any Finnish or any Swedish language yet then Yle Kielikoulu - Yle Språkskolan can be too difficult to use.
Yle Kielikoulu today offers language support from Finnish to English, Estonian, Russian, Somali, Arabic and Swedish.

Ratings and Reviews
Quite good idea!
I’m studying Finnish and this is helping. I only wish Spanish was also added but I understand you’ll just support the most used languages in Finland. Nevertheless great job!
Used to work, now it doesn’t
This used to be a great app, very good for watching Finnish-language series and learning some vocab. Now all of a sudden it doesn’t work. I can surf around the program selection, but any attempt to watch anything crashes the app. I tried deleting and reloading the app but I got the same result. The Yle IT guys need to fix it.
Lots of potential but barely useable
Crashes all the time. Be prepared to restart the app once for every minute of a video you watch.
When it works it is nice, but you spend more time restart the app than learning. Use the website instead as that is actually stable.
