Learn Finnish! Lesson 1: The alphabet - Aakkoset

In the first lesson I'm teaching you the Finnish alphabet, aakkoset.
Happy learning!

I'm a korean and English teacher here. I have a Finnish boy friend and he taught me so many Finnish swearings😅 i started to learn Finnish from your videos. Your videos are great and really helpful for me. I'm watching them every day😊

Can you ask him a gril that can help me to learn finnish language and its swearing it will help me a lot . 😊

[@gloriacherop8234]

I'm learning Finnish and I tried Duolingo but it just teaches words and along the way I realized the alphabet was different from ours and the app doesn't teach it so I decided to supplement my lessons. You have no idea how nice it is to have found you. You pronounce in a way I can hear the letters. Thank you.

I'm here after Käärijäs Eurovision entry ❤ he is such a charismatic, loveable man ✨ and got me interested in the language now. I know Finnish is quite difficult to learn, but I teach German so nothing can really shock me anymore 😂

We lived in Kulosaari for 12+ months in 1973/74. In that time I learned maybe something less than 20 Finnish words not counting being able to count a bit. My wife was rather better than I was but the Art College had to give her the anatomy lessons in English not Swedish or Finnish. Finnish seems impossible plus socially I needed Swedish.

Que felicidad, muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos en el tema del idioma fines, soy mexicana viviendo en finlandia desde 04 12 2017. y en las escuelas carreeria para inmigrantes no quieren enseñar gramatica, solo enseñan como si fuera un rompecabezas en todos los sentidos, yo me ayudaba con mi traductor de mi celular pero cuando se me rompio ,pedi que me enseñaran gramatica, y respondieron que buscara otro lado porque su sistema no contempla enseñar gramatica. al 2 segundo dia me avisaron que yo estaba fuera del plantel. he recogido libros de gramatica de la antigua administracion llamada edupoly, y es una prueba de que si enseñaban gramatica en fines conbinado con el idioma del inmigrante. me estrece mucho, y la bendicion de Dios me ha llegado, gracias por sus videos. soy tan feliz que invertire muchas horas en estudiar , memorizar y practicar todas sus clases , Dios bendiga a todo su esfuerzo bendita angel Anna.

[@peterk.6093]

Espero que por fin llegaste a aprender fines. Yo por cambio estoy casi terminando mi espaňol por ahora y empezo a fascinarme por Filandia. Pero es verdad que estas escuelas de idioma de hoy son muy terribles todas. Yo quería algo muy clásico, con gramática y listas de palabras para memorizar. Esta tontería de comunicar sin conocer la gramática me pone loco.

[@robin2000]

Dear Anna, today I'm starting my Finnish lessons with your course for which I thank you very much. I am not sure, but I think tha the sound of "Ö" is more similar to the french sound of "E muet". Thank you in advance for your comment. Greetings from Saltgillo, Coahuila, México.

[@FinnishWithAnna]

It could be indeed, but I know very little French, so I didn't dare make that comparison. :-)

Hey Anna. Been using Mondly and Simply Learn apps to teach myself Finnish for the past few months. I was trying to choose which language to learn and found how beautiful and amazing Finish is. So to find your videos is such a blessing. I plan to visit your country in August I very much hope. I have only watched this one of your videos so far but I find it very very good. Thank you Anna.

[@roberth4395]

I can't hear any difference between *e* and *ä* . There has to be a difference or else it would not be included in the alphabet. For example in _vihreä_ I hear _vihree_ and it is so confusing.

[@ClockMaster2013]

e is pronounced like [ɛ] in the german "Bett" or (maybe) english "when". It is the same Sound as our german "ä", although the finnish e has more transition to an actual [e]. finnish ä is pronounced like [æ] in the english words cat, bad, sad and hat

[@roberth4395]

@@ClockMaster2013 Thanks, but as I am not a native english nor a german speaker this does not help me. Hopefully it will help someone else. 99% of the language teachers fail when it comes to pronounciation. You need to show a picture where wr can see the tongue position. We need to see how the lips/mouth moves and we need to hear to sound. Without the tungue position mastering pronounciation takes years or anbeternity. Phonetic writing is also useless for people who did not learnt how to read it. Thanks anyway and have a nice day!

[@_Suomalainen_]

I can hear it easy,but i am Finn

[@okaro6595]

So you say "set" and "sat" (the past tense of to sit) the sane way?

[@okaro6595]

Well Finns say "vihree". The official form is "vihreä" but nobody says it so.

Kiitos Anna! My lovely and beautiful mom was Finnish. She never taught me to speak it as we didn’t live in Finland and since my dad was also an immigrant to the country I grew up, there were 3 languages in the house. So she said she thought a 4th would be too much for me as a child. But honestly I think she loved the fact that she could speak to her sister and friends over the phone without anyone knowing what she was saying 😅❤️. She’s not with us anymore and I feel I want to know more about where she was from and maybe surprise my cousin and aunt one day. My aunt does not speak english, it would be great to be able to talk to her one day. So thank you for your generous help ❄️🌺🙏

[@geography__jackson6139]

Moi Anna, I have a suggestion; I think a video on what methods and ways to study the language would be great. Like pointers on how often to read a book in Finnish, and article, and what we should keep an eye out. Maybe even someday a simple work sheet that can come along as an extra or something to every video.

I'm a spanish speaker, and actually, pronouncing all of those letters weren't so difficult for me, since the soumi alphabet has almost the same sounds as the spanish alphabet, but the Y is also easy due to the second official language in my country, where it is also pronounced like that, either way, kiitos. (i learned a little bit due to duolingo)

Could you do a lesson on rolling R’s?

[@majstter7420]

Interestingly, the original Hungarian word for night is "éj", which is very similar to the Finnish "yö". However it's only used in a poetical language, today it is "éjszaka" or various regional words like for instance "icaka".
