Learn Finnish for Russian speakers
By finnly · Havilah Works Oy · Updated
Start with Finnish words and Russian translations, then practise the words in context. This English-language guide includes Russian vocabulary meanings; finnly also offers Russian explanations and instructions in the app.
Use the Russian translation to understand a word, but listen to its Finnish audio before you practise saying it. Keep the original Finnish spelling in your notes so you can connect the written word to what you hear.
Read each word in a full sentence rather than substituting a Russian word one at a time. In the app, choose Russian for instructions and explanations while you practise Finnish vocabulary and YKI-style skills.
