DailyFinnish started as a YouTube channel for people who moved to Finland and needed Finnish that works on a Tuesday morning at the Kela office, not Finnish for exams. This site is the channel's home: every video gets a page with the transcript, the words and a quiz, and around the lessons we write the guides nobody gave us when we arrived.
What you will find here
- Learn Finnish: a free course from A1 to B1, a grammar reference, vocabulary with audio, and every form of the common verbs and nouns.
- Living in Finland: how housing, work, banking, phones, electricity, healthcare and family life actually work, written for immigrants.
- Finnish Culture: holidays, name days, sauna, food and customs, so you understand what is going on around you.
- Resources: the first 30 days checklist, calculators, price comparisons and official links.
How we keep the lights on
DailyFinnish is independent. Some links on the site are partner links: if you sign up for a service through one of them, we may earn a commission. It never changes what you pay, partner links are always labelled, and no partner can buy a place in a comparison table. We do not work with gambling or payday-loan companies.
Corrections
Finnish rules and prices change. Every guide shows when it was last verified. If you spot something outdated, tell us and we will fix it.
