broken up words are very helpful

Hei-hei Kat! :) it's teacher Cris from Manila/Jyväskylä, Actually what distinguishes you Kat from all other finnish youtuber (which I binge watch) is your pronunciation which can be imitated as the video plays. It's for a language teacher, the form of the mouth and the roll of the tongue can be observed with YOUR pace which is important. So viewers can learn ä, Ö, y, V and H, which can be missed if you are too FAST . nothing weird with your delivery or pronunciation: They are weird because they don't really know how to address language learners in the beginner level, and YOU DO. It's important to syllabicate it so learners can decode how the spelt Finnish words should be pronounced and vice versa. Keep up your great work!

Mikä is more literally which than what in my opinion. Also, you shouldn't listen to those who criticise you as they clearly never learned a new language nor have an idea on how a language has to be taught. I think it is great to speak slowly so beginners can perfectly distinct each syllables. :)

Good point, and thanks :)

I think that "breaking" the words in syllables is very helpful to learn the proper pronunciation of the words and how you actually "break" the word in sylllables. Finnish is a trip, so any help to making it easier to learn is welcome. As an English Teacher watching how you explain things in a very fresh and relaxed way teaches me how to be more relaxed and be less "teachy" . Thank you! You could be a language teacher!!!

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. Kiitos paljon! 🙏🥰

You are teaching in the right way, it's the best way to hear and pronounce words properly. If people don't like the way you teach, they should find a teacher that will teach them the wrong way.

please continue to speak each syllable separately! it's the best way to learn pronunciation! It's essential!

love how you break the words apart to help us learn the distinct sounds

Saying the word per syllable is exactly how you should teach it. It makes it easier for the person to understand what you’re saying and how to say it. You’re doing great and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I really think you are the best for teaching Finnish in youtube specially when you pronounced the words so slowly and clearly ,it honestly helps a lot and your fluent English without accents too☺️which is so much easier to understand. I have been in Finland for 2 full years, only can speak a few words and read words which related to food since I am a chef. I tried to learn this difficult language, but it put me off from learning since it seems to be so difficult and complicated in some other videos. But you made Finnish easier to learn and even teach informal slangs. I like languages, I am a native Cantonese speaker + Mandarin (since I was born in Hong Kong) I also speak English since I did my high school in Australia , university in UK , some Japanese/French( I also lived, worked, studied in these two place for a bit too). I had been looking for materials to learn Finnish, but it is not easy. Since 1 March when I was tested Covid +ve , and I saw your KZread videos, I started to learn from them. So far it became my everyday routine to watch your videos to learn Finnish finally! Thanks so much, I am very appreciated your efforts on making these videos. I am sure it helps so many people to learn Finnish in an easier way. I am learning Finnish cooking and baking with my Finnish baker friend too. And I like your other KZread channel too😍. Hope you have a good day, kiitos paljon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Dear KatChats, I know this is an old video but I feel like commenting given how you started this video. I think you are a very good teacher. (Why aren't you one?). I once unsubscribed to you because I found that you sometimes make complicated &/ unnecessary additions like those diphthongs (was it?) that you, yourself, mentioned aren't even really used in Finnish. However, whatever critic I have for you is nothing to compared to your good points. You breaking down things for us and slowly repeating things for us was and is helpful for my memorization. I found myself subscribing again. Just this other day when my memory blanked during a test, it was your videos that first came clear to my mind. That said, thank you.
