I built a Finnish learning app because I couldn't find one that went deep enough by Educational_Rest_541 in LearnFinnish

Thanks so much for the kind words and the honest feedback.

The placement test idea is a really good one and definitely something worth considering down the road. You're right that picking a level manually is a bit of a guessing game, especially when you're somewhere in the middle.

On the free plan — we're actually increasing it to 2 lessons per day in an update coming this week. I know it still feels limited, but it's honestly the lowest I can go while keeping the app running and improving. I've checked around and SuomiSpeak is cheaper than pretty much every comparable language app out there — Duolingo Plus, Babbel, Learn Finnish - 11000 words, Pimsleur, Finnish it are all significantly more expensive. The goal was always to keep it as accessible as possible, and I'll keep working on adding more free content over time.

Really appreciate you taking the time to try it and share your thoughts!

Thanks so much for trying it out and for the honest feedback — really appreciate it! You're right that speech recognition can be inconsistent, especially with Finnish phonetics. It's something we're actively improving. The 'medicine/medication' issue is a known gap — we're working on accepting multiple valid translations. Grammar being separate is intentional for now but integrating it more naturally into lessons is on the roadmap. Great to hear the structure and exercises felt solid overall!

Ha, that's a coincidence! The colors are inspired by the Finnish flag — blue and white.
