    "Mennään kattomaan" sounded like it was from a native speakers mouth. Then you pondered If it is katsomaan (which it Is in formal Finnish) but kattomaan is more relaxed and More like from native speaker or someone who is very fluent in Finnish.

    was pleasure watching this. Not sure how i ended up in here but glad i did. Your finnish is so good it amazes me a little. Its so good it almost makes the introvert me want to think i wish i could just meet you and help out with finnish language by havin conversations. Keep up practising you are well on your way to become fluent with the language. I got feeling that already i could undestand what you are saying completely

    Having been born and raised in northern Ontario, I learned ‘Finnglish’ and when my elders all left this world, I lost most of my meagre language skills. When I retired a few years ago, I signed up for Finnish language classes and was pleasantly surprised by how much came back to me and stunned by the complexities of the language as well. I began to learn how to read Finnish (helps immensely) and writing (extremely difficult for me) and feel a bit more comfortable with my almost forgotten first language. We travelled to Finland three years ago and I met some of my cousins - so amazing! I intend to go back and explore a bit more, spend time getting to know a few of my cousins and generally soaking up the beauty that is Finland. I also learned new words like lunch, weather, and then basics like months, clothing, body parts, etc. that I didn’t know before. Enjoying your vids and I can understand a lot of what you’re saying, but not all, so I’ll keep listening 😁.

    Delightful to watch as a Finn! Watched it through with a big smile. Your prononciation, tone and especially the (light) weight on the words is so native-like it's unprecedented. For this reason the small grammatical mistakes in formation or choices of words don't matter really as I can completely understand what you are saying. Hyvin höpötelty!

Just build up your finnish dictionary, we don't care what you add in the end, we understand you nonetheless. Then just keep having conversations with people and correct your self when you notice you're making mistakes, we're most likely not going to correct you. We appreciate that you that you're trying to learn our difficult language.

I noticed you stuggled a little with the word learn, so just a little tip: opettaa means to teach and oppia means to learn. you were kinda saying a mixture of these words "opittaa" which was close and totally understandable, but perhaps this is still useful! Keep up the good work!
