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), interactive picture scenes, and job-specific Finnish for nurses and drivers — from 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 teaches how Finnish works, from talo to talossa, talosta, taloon, and talolle. HANDS-FREE SPEAKING PRACTICE 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 • 100+ topic filters — food, travel, numbers, family, and more • Smart speech recognition tuned for Finnish pronunciation and vowel harmony PICTURE SCENES — LEARN BY LOOKING Tap objects inside beautiful real-life scenes — a kitchen, a bathroom, an airport and more — and learn the Finnish word for everything you see: • Guided Learn — each object lights up one by one; tap it to hear and learn, no guessing • Find — hear a word, then tap what you heard • Say — speak the word aloud, checked by Finnish speech recognition • A confidence score for every scene, plus a weekly leaderboard • 70+ scenes, including profession packs for nurses, taxi, security and drivers 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 and natural audio for every line • Listen, repeat, then speak it back to check yourself FINNISH FOR WORK — PROFESSIONS Qualifying to work in Finland?
