Having A Full Finnish Conversation After Only ONE WEEK! (Featuring linguaEpassione)

You can see me learning Finnish over the course of one week here: • How Much Finnish Can I...

From March 27 to March 29, 2020, I participated in Language Jam! But it wasn't just any Language Jam: it was my first full Language Jam that I could commit a full weekend to, and I got to study Finnish.
I have always been interested in learning Finnish (thank you, Nightwish!), so much so that after three days of studying Finnish, I decided I hadn't had enough. I extended my 3-day Finnish dabble into a week-long challenge. And to top it all off, I had a conversation with Stefano from linguaEpassione to test my new Finnish skills. It wasn't always easy, but I am proud of how much I was able to understand and communicate in Finnish after one week!

Hei Michael, mitä kuuluu? :) What a pleasure for me to be part of this experiment and to witness your fast progress in Finnish. Keep up the good work!

[@ThePolyglotFiles]

Kiitos paljon!

[@MaraDeHertog]

U are Belgian!!!! Yay I’m also Belgian, trying to learn Finnish 😁

[@dilinikalankeshwara6979]

​@@ThePolyglotFiles Hello, it's very nice guidance.I am also interested learn this language and currently live in Finland. It's must to lean. I already started to learn but I can't continue my speaking part without speaking. So, can I know how do I join your language course? I am very like to speak step by step as that student🥰

[@tttiiaa]

Wow as a Finn it was trippy to see a Canadian and an Italian speaking Finnish! And Stefano's smile is contagious. :) For a week's worth of studying I think you did really well, hyvää työtä! I love how learning languages brings us together. This was so inspiring.

[@TheJulietpj88]

Learning vocabulary for me is easy. Putting them together and making a sentence is the challenging part for me. This conversation has motivated me. I wish I could get a fluent person to practice with or if someone can give me pointers on how to go about it

[@philipfaver4240]

freaking amazing job Michael man!

[@skenaari]

Upeaa!! Suomi on niin erilainen kieli, että sitä voi olla vaikea oppia. I think the grammar is the most difficult part of Finnish language. So the quickest way to learn the language is to just learn the basic words first. Drop them in whatever order and let us Finns teach you from there :) We respect anyone who even tries to learn this stone age language. Many Finnish related languages in Russia are suffering under present Russian policy. Stefano is speaking like a native Finn. Molto bene :) I think it has something to do with similar pronunciation between Italian and Finnish. We say the word as it's written, different from English pronunciations. So, Michael learning that much Finnish in a week is unbelievable!!!

[@ThePolyglotFiles]

Thank you! I too see similarities between the Finnish language and the Italian language. It's pretty cool, and I think I will definitely be continuing to learn Finnish

[@thaomoominf9825]

Hi! I am learning Finnish too! I am happy to read this courage comment 😊 thank you

[@jaleeucosta7378]

What a good conversation... I understood everything! Congratulations!!!

[@breakthelogic3436]

Absolutely amazing! Truly inspired many to get into Suomi☺

[@piathompson3882]

Incredible that you learned such a difficult language to the point that you could carry on a conversation after only a week. My husband and I have been married 37 years and he can only put together a few sentences even though he knows a lot of vocabulary. Very impressive.

Underrated comment

[@daptydeduck3998]

Wow, you're good at Finnish, luckily I turned on the English captions

[@anttikuusmetso]

Tosi kiva vaikuttava keskustelu! Stefano puhuu täydellisesti, mutta Michael (!) uskomatonta että opiskelit suomea 1 viikon vain! Suurenmoinen saavutus! Suomi ei ollenkaan vaikea kieli jos opiskella sydämen kautta (se kuuluu jokaisen kielen opiskelemiseen). Toivottavasti Michael puhuu nyt ihan sujuvasti ja pystyy kunnon ääntämään ä, ö sekä y. 😀 Olen todellisesti vaikuttunut ja toivon molemmille suurta menestystä monikielisuudessa. 👍

[@mabelkembong4596]

I am so amazed and multivated.The more i practice with a friend the more i will know.Thanks so much

[@lizelmecate-gg5jk]

This conversation so interesting! I hope I could talk same as Micheal in a week!Good job!

[@magicman6381]

This is remarkable for just one week.

[@seaweeddol8171]

Ihana video! Minä on ollut Suomessa viisi kuu. Mina olin opi suomea Mango Languages, Duolingo, FinnishPod101, mutta nyt opin suomea suomen kurssilla yksi kuu. Menen kurssilla kolme kertaa viikossa ja opin paljon. Se on kiva katso tämä video ja ymmara melkein kaikki!

[@penaarja]

Omg, this was soo good ❤️❤️🇫🇮🇮🇹🇨🇦

[@ChefRafi]

[@habicht6]

hier sind große Talente am Werke... ich finde das toll.... ich beiße mir am Finnischen die Zähne aus... d.h. ich versuchte es mit UNGARISCH... oi oi oi oi... aber FINNISCH what a challenge!!!!

[@randoseworld5557]

Great! Your 'A' sometimes sounds more like an 'Ä', but I understood it perfectly!

[@vinskilindqvist4554]

Jatka samaan malliin ja tuu käymään Suomessa :D ootko opetellu jo puhekielt? Snaijaatko nää yhtää mittää?

[@lethleth480]

[@aayushs.taehyung4631]

You are amazing bro. Try Hindi next ❤️❤️

[@habicht6]

Zwei große Talente...... ich habe jetzt eventuell einen Wortschatz von 50 Wörtern... und die Grammatik ist schon heftig.....

[@proximeoscolassianopolis8114]

How do you do it bro?

[@humanmissile666]

Hyvä meno äijillä 👍

[@mrwizzardknight]

Fancy that huh Michael matey?! XD Finland is country which is WAY much younger than I don’t know.... EVERY major English football club you can think of! 😃😃😃😂😂😂 No really! Finland will indeed be 103 years old this year sometime in early December and it’s all thanks to one dude, Johan Snellman that Finnish is a national language of today! 😃😃😃 And even though Finnish is super balls hard to learn, the Finns and Finnish culture are indeed all totally AWESOME! 😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍 Full stop! 😃😃😃😃 It’s exaggerated a quite a bit but they say they have the world’s best educational system and the Finns gaves wor saunas and Angry Birds! 😃😃😃😃 See? And they got independence TWICE! 😃😃😃 See? Evidence that the Finns are awesome! 😃😃😃😃🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@Oddn7751]

Have you thought about revisiting Norwegian?

[@ThePolyglotFiles]

I have! I've been focusing on Danish lately, but I keep thinking about doing a crash course in Norwegian once I have a good base in Danish. I also stumble upon Norwegian from time to time, and I am constantly amazed at how similar it is to Danish. Any recommendations for Norwegian learning resources?

[@Oddn7751]

If you have a good grasp of Danish, I don't think you have to do much other than get used to how it sounds. Like watching Norwegian media. tv.nrk.no is great for exposure if you have a VPN. TV-Norge also has a KZbin channel where some of the videoes have subtitles. If you're not about that, then I don't know. I feel it's a great way to immerse yourself with the culture, but I know that it's not a preferred way to learn for everyone.

[@Oddn7751]

Also, kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2fTaZ-Zmd9qeNk is a video explaining the different dialects. Though it is in Norwegian, he speaks very clearly, so you should get alot of it, I think. It's important to at least learn the major dialects, because Norwegian doesn't have an official standard when it comes to the spoken language.

[@Oddn7751]

There's also a book called "the mystery of Nils". It's pretty neat, I've heard!

[@penaarja]

What, after week?

[@yodittesfaye8549]

Mä haluun puhua suomea

You are hella cute 🥺🥺🥺 so is the Finnish guy 🥴🥴🥴

[@aleksanderrubik.]

Lmfao the one on the right is italian

[@zami8827]

If you are native in Finnish you can nitpick few errors that italian guy makes, but he really know how to speak Finnish though.

[@mrgenetics4063]

Stefano is really expensive to get tutored by... like $40 an hour.... you must be rich lol

[@jackiearmijos8366]

Great job, but do not tell lies that you are speaking in such a way after a week. Speaking production is the result of constant repetition and many mistakes during the internalization process. So, a week is not enough.
