Why Learn Finnish?
Part of the Finnic branch of the Uralic language of Northern Asia and Europe, Finnish is one of the two official languages of Finland (the other is Swedish). Finnish is also spoken in isolated pockets of Sweden, Norway, and Russia, especially in regions with significant ethnic Finnish populations. Of Finland’s approximately 5 million speakers, 4.75 million are in Finland, over 200,000 in Sweden, 8,000 in Norway, nearly 9,000 in the Russian Republic of Karelia, and over 25,000 in the United States. Aside from Finland proper, Finnish is also an official language of the European Union and the Nordic Council.

Learn Finnish with the Pimsleur App
Speak Finnish with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Finnish. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Finnish language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
Don't miss out. Try learning Finnish with Pimsleur today while your first week is FREE!

What does the Pimsleur Finnish subscription include?
Our Premium Pimsleur Finnish subscription includes everything you need to immerse yourself in the language and learn to speak Finnish naturally, the same way a Finnish child does. You’ll learn Finnish by conversing with native speakers, listening to them talk, and anticipating what they’ll say next. When we anticipate the next words, we’re drawing on our experience and prior knowledge, putting earlier Finnish lessons to use. Actively engaging the principle of anticipation accelerates learning and improves both memory and recall of that learning.
The Pimsleur Finnish subscription includes digital flash cards, interactive phrasing games, and Voice Coach to help you perfect your Finnish accent with real-time feedback.
Is Pimsleur effective for learning Finnish?
The Pimsleur Finnish language course is so effective at helping beginners learn to speak Finnish that diplomats, journalists, travelers, aid workers, and C-suite executives have relied on it for decades. The U.S. Department of State, the FBI, the military, and Fortune 500 companies use our language training to learn Finnish quickly and effectively.
Rather than have you study long lists of vocabulary words or try to diagram sentences, Pimsleur Finnish lessons have you learn to speak Finnish by doing just that. Speaking with and listening to native Finnish speakers helps you learn Finnish more effectively.
How long are Pimsleur Finnish lessons?
Our Premium Pimsleur Finnish course includes audio language training that we have divided into daily lessons. Each 30-minute Finnish lesson immerses you in the language and builds upon the information you learned in the prior lesson. Designed to work with how the brain best acquires, processes, and retrieves new information, Pimsleur Finnish lessons don’t just help you learn Finnish quickly — they help it to really stick.
In addition to audio language training, your Finnish course includes digital flash cards, conversation practice, and real-time feedback to help you perfect your Finnish accent.
