Cracking the code to understanding Finns? I got you!

Hei there!

Think Finns are all about silence and saunas? Well… yes 😅 But there's so much more!

We're a quirky bunch, I promise. From calling a little bowl for potato peels a "cruise ship" (yes, really!) to writing snappy notes when we're bothered, Finnish life is full of little traditions.

How well do you know Finland and Finnish habits? Let's check!

I’m handing you the roadmap to speaking Finnish

Hi Yinpong!

Time to celebrate a new season, new skills and a fresh start with Finnish!🌿

For the next few days you can join Conversational Finnish for Beginners 1 at a very special price.

If you are ready to finally speak Finnish in real-life situations, this is the moment to start.

Here is the truth: most people struggle with Finnish because they…

  • Learn standard Finnish, not the spoken Finnish we actually use in everyday life
  • Get stuck in grammar-first methods that kill confidence before the first conversation
  • Waste time on random phrases from apps (you know you'll never use in real life)

But this course solves all three.

Let me introduce you to the Conversational Finnish for Beginners 1 course!

You will learn spoken Finnish from day one. This is the Finnish you will hear in shops, at work, with friends, even in the doctor's office. 

It is not slang, just a shorter, simpler, easier-to-remember form of Finnish that we actually speak.

And because each lesson is only 10 minutes, you can fit it into coffee breaks, commutes or the little gaps in your day.

Yinpong, if you are reading this, there is a good chance that you have tried learning Finnish before and it did not stick. It is not your fault, the method was wrong.

Imagine: just weeks from now, you are ordering in Finnish and understanding the reply. 

Imagine how it will feel to surprise a Finn with a real conversation!

That is what thousands of my students have done and now it is your turn.

Join today and get:

  • Conversational Finnish for Beginners 1 for only 99€ (normally 139€)
  • 3 incredible free bonuses (total value 100€)
  • Instant access, yours forever
  • 14-day full refund if you change your mind

Total value: 239€, yours today for 99€

🎉 CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE AUGUST RESET SALE  🎉

Let's make this the moment you finally start speaking Finnish with confidence.

No more overthinking. No more waiting for the perfect time. It is right here.

Best,

Varpu

Most people learn the wrong Finnish

Hi Yinpong!

So…there's something no one tells you when you start learning Finnish.

You can study for months, even years, and still not understand what people say in real life.

Why?

Because most courses, apps and books teach standard Finnish.

But in everyday life, we use spoken Finnish, a shorter, simpler version of the language. (Not slang!)

It's the Finnish you'll hear at cafés, in the supermarket, at work, even in the doctor's office.

And if you don't learn it from the start, here is what usually happens:

  • You understand written words but not what is said to you
  • You freeze when someone replies in Finnish
  • You lose confidence and motivation

Maybe you have already felt this.

Or maybe you have tried an app, thinking it would be enough, only to find yourself stuck when it is time to speak.

The truth is, if your goal is to actually use Finnish in real life, you need to:

  1. Learn spoken Finnish from day one
  2. Use easy, ready-to-go sentences so you can always ask + reply
  3. Study in short, stress-free lessons that fit into your life

This is exactly what my course, Conversational Finnish for Beginners 1, is designed to do.

It is the same course that helped Naomi get compliments on her Finnish at summer festivals and now she feels excited to keep going.

Tomorrow I am opening our August Reset Sale, your chance to start speaking Finnish easily, even if you have struggled before.

Keep an eye on your inbox! You don't want to miss this.

Varpu

Think you can’t speak Finnish? Think again

Hi Yinpong!

Quick question for you: What do you think you need to do to speak Finnish?

Do you need to memorize endless grammar tables?
Sit through long classes that don't fit your schedule?
Or spend months struggling with stiff textbook phrases?

No.You.Don't.

My student Naomi joined Conversational Finnish for Beginners 1 to prepare for a summer in Finland. 

She hoped it would help a little, maybe give her a few words she could use here and there. 

What happened instead?

She found herself confidently using Finnish at summer festivals.

She spoke, the staff answered in Finnish… and she understood. Then came the best part.

"Yeah, I tricked them, they think I can speak Finnish! 😂"

Now, Naomi's walking away from those conversations smiling and more motivated than ever to keep going.

Here's why it worked for her:

  • She focused on spoken Finnish: the version Finns actually use
  • She learned with short, flexible lessons (10 mins!)
  • She practiced phrases she could use immediately in real life

And yes, she thought she wouldn't learn Finnish because she had tried on and off before.

But she did, because we focused on what actually works.

If you're ready to surprise yourself, just like Naomi did…

Get ready, because this Friday, your journey to speaking Finnish with confidence is about to get a whole lot easier!

Talk soon,
Varpu

My unusual path to helping 20,000 Finnish learners

Hi Yinpong!

Did you know my background isn't originally in teaching?

I'm an engineer turned Finnish coach.

I started my career at CERN in Geneva, where I helped scientists turn complex ideas into real-world tools.

I love making difficult things feel clear and simple.✨

Later, I worked in international business, and as I shared more about Finland online, I kept hearing the same message:

"I want to speak Finnish… but it feels impossible."

That made me so sad, and to be honest, then angry.

I knew that most Finnish resources (even game apps!) focused on standard Finnish, but nobody was showing that there's a faster, simpler way: 

The way we actually speak here in Finland, spoken Finnish.

I knew I could help.

I've studied six languages myself. 

I'm not naturally talented at it, but I knew how to build an easy system that really works.

Even if you have no time.
Even if you think you're "bad at languages."

That's how my most popular course, Conversational Finnish 1 for Beginners, was born. 

It's a course made for real life… for busy people who want to speak Finnish in everyday situations. <3

And now, over 20,000 students have used my easy, real-life Finnish resources to start speaking with confidence.

Next week we are going to have a huge celebration on my channels!

If we are not friends yet on Instagram or Facebook, let's connect. 

And now it's your turn! I'd love to know, what's your connection to Finland? 

Hit reply and tell me!

Best
Varpu

Finns love it when you try this!

Hei from Finland!

Have you ever been in a place where people didn't seem to appreciate your effort to speak their language?

Maybe you walked into a café, smiled, and gave your best "hello" in the local language… only to get a blank stare from the waiter.

Finland is the exact opposite. Even just a couple of words in Finnish can light up someone's face.

Finns love it when you try.

A small "hei" or "kiitos" can turn into a warm smile, a slower pace, even a kind word back.

That's why I always say: You don't need to be fluent to make a real connection.

Your first easy step? 

Learn a few Finnish greetings that locals actually use.

Take a look and tell me which one's your favorite:

>> MOST COMMON FINNISH GREETINGS <<

I'd love to hear which one you liked the most!

Best,
