What my students say about the Finking Cap Club courses:

Emmi covers a lot of what you see on signs around town - both advertisements and permanent signage. I haven’t found any other resource that does this - being able to read the messages on the tram stops, the grocery, and on pinned up notices really helps you stay connected to the world you are living in and helps reinforce the vocabulary you have learned. Although Finns are very generous about speaking English, when you can read the signs without Google Translate you can learn a lot about events and information you might have otherwise missed!

I just registered, this is so far the best resource I have for learning Finnish. I love the idea of interactive learning, the step by step breakdown of puhekieli in a realistic context is invaluable. Emmi is such a magical teacher. This is awesome!

I was already studying Finnish and living in Finland when I found the Case by Case Finnish course. For me, as a Portuguese speaking person, understanding the cases in Finnish was the hardest thing. Studying Finnish with a native teacher that can explain the intricate parts of the language in great English was decisive for me, I gained the confidence I needed and started to understand how the language works, I was thinking for myself and not just repeating rules from a book. The materials are great and easy to understand, Emmi is very patient and has great teaching skills (and also a huge sense of humour!)! This course is something that I will keep revising for many years until I can really master the Finnish language.
Larissa KämäräinenStudent
I find it really useful to have both an overarching larger-scale course (like the Case by Case module) as well as the Quick Wins, as it feels like you’re gaining both a deeper understanding of the language as a whole as well as words and phrases that are very easy to work into everyday conversation. It’s really exciting to recognize a concept I learned in Case by Case in the Quick Wins, and they work very well together!
Emma DalyStudent
I have been learning Finnish by myself with various books for a while with small success - reading and writing are ok but I was very nervous about speaking Finnish. I discovered Finking Cap (Emmi) through Instagram and had a look at the lessons, courses, video & content on the website (there is content in a flash cards app too!). I love the video content because the way the words, sounds, grammar, etc. is explained makes it easy to understand and further your skills. Since joining Finking Cap & using all the resources available, my confidence has grown and I’ve spoken Finnish in restaurants & shops (this is a big thing for me!). I’m a big fan of Finking Cap and I would recommend it to anyone learning Finnish or someone who is brushing up on their Finnish language skills! Sophie

I sure do! I’m constantly adding to the content library.

Yes! Join for a month, see if you like it, and then save money by switching to the yearly option.

Yes, of course! Just talk to your employer and tell them you’ve found a flexible way to learn Finnish. I can send them an invoice for the yearly membership fee, or you can sign up for a monthly or a yearly subscription using a company payment card. Please email me at emmi@finkingcap.com with more details.

If you need to book private lessons to go with the subscription, that is possible, too.

There is some content for beginners. If it’s your first time learning any Finnish at all and you’re planning to join, I recommend also getting some private Finnish lessons or finding group lessons that will get you started in speaking Finnish. It’s very important that you get to practice your speaking skills from the beginning.

Most of my courses are suitable for someone who is comfortable learning independently and who has already learned a few things about Finnish here and there.
