005 - Finnish-Podcast.Net - Jos mulle tulisi lähtö linnaan

Presidentinlinna - Presidential Palace, Helsinki

Welcome to episode number five. This episode is based on a short dialog and the slight confusion caused by the word "linna".

It is everyday spoken Finnish. The vocabulary is quite simple, what makes it challenging is the speed of the conversation.

The episode is based on the radio show Anonyymit kotikiusatut radio show episode: Kotini on linnani. You need to subscribe in order to get access to the episode files.

Welcome to the Finnish Language Podcast

Welcome!

I have been too long in Finland now. And I still find it difficult sometimes to understand and speak Finnish, the so-called spoken Finnish. And it is not only me. My foreign friends complained about the same. And this is how the idea of this podcast has emerged...

The purpose of it is to help you, those who are truly seeking to get an insight of the "real" Finnish. To help you understand and produce it.

This is not a podcast for beginners. You need to know the basics of the language. I will not talk about the tenses of the verbs or about the cases of the nouns. I will talk about the spoken Finnish. You will hear short real life conversations and I will talk about different issues that will show up in the conversation.

This is the intention now at the beginning, the form and the content might get adjusted on the way.
