The quiz at the end is awesome. I wish more youtubers teaching would do this.

By digging around in Wiktionary for the etymologies for all of them, I found the meanings of all the month words are quite interesting. And a fun fact: in Chinese, we also use the same character of moon for month-月. tammi:(dialectal, archaic) heart, core, axis

>>And a fun fact: in Chinese, we also use the same character of moon for month Slavic languages use the same word for moon (especially crescent moon) and month as well. PS, English "month" is also derived from the same root as "moon".

Such a beautiful language 😍 the -r and -k sounds seem much, much harder in Finnish than in any other language I've heard

Laura Bignami Á! Una italiana, chi parla inglese, ed impara finese! La finese É una lingua bene! Ma ho letti, ci sono 15 casi grammatichi nella lingua finese! Sono ungherese. Ciascuno díci, di si trova feasi similari nelle lingue finese ed ungherese. La veritá sí, ma l'ungherese é una lingua hibrid. Perché si trova frasi similari con mongolo, o stessi frasi col mongolo, ad esempio tenger. É signifíca mare in italiano, ma ho detto ce una parola tenger nella lingua mongola. É signifíca il cello in italiano, ég in ungherese, ed in inglese é sky, in tedesco der Himmel. Ma ci sono frasi e parole in finise, cui melódia é similari: ad esempio syntynit é una parola finese. E noi abbiamo ad esempi tűzszünet, szüneteltet, szüntelen etc. Ma l'ungherese é nonsólo uralico. Ci sono frase inglesi, turchi, latini, grechi anziani, tedeschi e mongoli.

R is the same as in Russian, possibly a bit stronger.

Thank you for your Finnish language lessons. I just watched your Kirjakieli vs. Puhekieli language comparison and I've seen a number of your others too (including Young learning to speak some Finnish with the double vowels and consonants), and they're well done. Your Helsinki city tour was excellent! My family and I will be in Helsinki, Rovaniemi, Oulu, Vaasa, and Turku in June and July (I'm half Finnish on my mother's side). It's important for me to learn some Finnish, and I've heard fewer people speak English in Northern Finland so it could be very helpful. I really like the way you compartmentalize your discussions into easily-manageable units like Beginner Tips & Tricks and the Months of the Year. It's so important to know the basic vocabulary before moving on to grammar and sentences, and it's SO much easier to learn from you speaking and explaining Finnish than from pages of text in a book or website. My request to you for additional topics is for counting to 20 or even up to 100 if there's a pattern that can be learned. It would be so great if you would continue presenting language videos like this and, every few months, have a "rollup" video installment where, as much as possible, you speak using only words & phrases you've explained in your previous months' set of videos. This would allow viewers to self-test their comprehension and review previous videos to catch up on things they missed. Subscribers wanting to learn will feel great seeing their understanding improve, and that, in turn, will motivate them to continue viewing & practicing making them loyal and more-frequent visitors. A real advantage with your vlog format is how you can mix formal & informal Finnish words & phrases so viewers will become better communicators with Finnish people in all settings, without knowing only formal words to use in less formal settings. Web pages and books can't do this so well; for example, I learned "laitan astiat pois" from a Finnish teaching website, but I don't think I'll ever need to use it. In your videos it's so easy to explain how to say relevant phrases that will really be useful instead. Those are just my thoughts that I hope might be of interest. I know brevity is a Finnish quality that I'm not using at all here. Sorry for the wall of text. I'm grateful for your hard work and I wish you continued success.

I LOVE this channel, i'm swedish and my mothers family are all finnish, i've been wanting to learn finnish since i was a kid. I started to learn in the beginning of this year and i find it kinda easy, maybe it's the genes and listening to my isoäiti talk finnish to my ätit and täti as a child. Your channel really is great, it's so much easier to learn when someone explains it and you can hear how the language sounds. It's super hard to find other sources that helps you learn finnish.

I know finnish pretty well, but the months are something I allways mix up or dont really remember on the fly. Maybe because when I was 5th grade in a swedish school and we were just starting learning the months in finnish class we moved to Norway. I knew them, kind of, because my mom used to talk only finnish - but the swedish and norwegian ar so much more similar to the english and month names in so many other languages that they are so much easier to use, in comparsion to those special finnish ones. So naturally I end up using words like januaari, februaari, marssi, apriili, juuni, juuli, augusti, septemberi, oktooberi, novemberi and desemberi. Is that allowed? Finnish is funny that way, because its so easy to use finnish grammar on foreign words.
