FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Finnish

It appears on the lists of difficult languages for English speakers (FSI Category 4, with 1,100 hours). But its difficulty is often exaggerated: the spelling is 100% phonetic, there's no gender, no articles, and the grammar is very logical once you grasp the agglutinative system. The 15 cases look impressive but several mirror French prepositional phrases.
Instead of using prepositions, Finnish adds suffixes to words. For example: 'talo' (house), 'talossa' (in the house), 'talosta' (from the house), 'taloon' (into the house). It is logical and predictable, once the suffixes are learned, you can quickly build complex sentences. It is different from English or French, but not necessarily harder.
Yes, a significant one. Spoken Finnish (puhekieli) differs from standard written Finnish (kirjakieli) with numerous contractions and omissions. In Helsinki, people say 'mä' for 'minä' (I) and 'sä' for 'sinä' (you). Our classes teach standard Finnish with an introduction to spoken Finnish, so you can be understood in everyday life.
Finland is ranked #1 worldwide for quality of life, education and press freedom. The tech ecosystem is dynamic (Supercell, Rovio, Wolt, F-Secure). The median salary is high and the social system is excellent. Speaking Finnish is essential for non-tech jobs, and very much appreciated even in international tech roles.
The FSI estimates 1,100 hours for an English speaker. For a French speaker with regular classes and regular practice, expect 18 to 24 months for a solid B1. It's a long road, but every step is rewarding because Finnish is entirely phonetic and the grammar is systematic. Learners often report that progress becomes exponential after 6 months.

O

My mother-in-law is Finnish and way more comfortable in Finnish than in English. Classes are very good but the group slots often start too early — I finish work at 7pm.

OksanaVerified purchase
A

Tried Duolingo for a year — Finnish is really poorly covered there. Native teachers here make all the difference. Downside: evening slots fill up fast, have to book 3 weeks ahead.

AmandineVerified purchase
C

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

CamilleVerified purchase
D

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

DamienVerified purchase
S

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

SorayaVerified purchase
A

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase
E

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
