The Finnish Kickstarter
Start speaking Finnish for real life – fast.
The Finnish Kickstarter is a practical beginner course designed to help you gain confidence and use Finnish in everyday situations from day one. Instead of focusing on heavy grammar, the course builds your skills through useful vocabulary, simple structures, and real-life communication.
You learn through a combination of independent mobile learning and guided group sessions. The course includes a 6-month WordDive licence, allowing you to study anytime, while the first two months focus on active learning with 8 weekly live online sessions (90 minutes each) in a small group of 10–15 participants.
Each week, you complete short, practical tasks and participate in live sessions where you practice speaking, build confidence, and receive feedback. Additional activating tasks keep you engaged and progressing consistently.
No previous knowledge needed. Just start – and speak

Few facts about about Finnish language
Finnish is a Finno-Ugric language and one of the official languages of Finland, spoken natively by around 4.9 million people. Although Finland is geographically part of the Nordic region, Finnish is not closely related to the Scandinavian languages — instead, it belongs to the same language family as Estonian and Karelian.
Finnish is an agglutinative language: words are formed by adding endings and suffixes to a base word, which gives the language a lot of expressive power. Finnish is also known for its rich case system, but at the same time the word order is relatively flexible, which actually makes forming sentences easier once you understand the structure.
