Language games on Wordwall

-
Learning a new language could be quite a pain in the ass sometimes. Some people remember new words by reading while others remember by listening to different texts. I personally remember new words by writing them down or by playing different games.

Learning a new language should be fun and interesting, it also needs to give you enough challenges. Playing different language games makes learning a new language way more interesting than just following the chapters in your book. Therefore, from that link below you can find different language-related games. There are games related to Finnish and Estonian.

Let me know if there is any certain type of games you would be interested in.☀️

Finnish: Vocal harmony / Vokaaliharmonia = Vokaalisointu

-
In my Finnish classes vocal harmony is usually among the things I teach first. For me it is important that a student gets a strong basis of vocal harmony as this is the topic a person will need all the time.  What does the vocal harmony mean? The easiest explanation is that the vowels need to be in harmony.🙂 However, there are certain rules for vocal harmony. There is a certain way how vowels perform with each other.

Preparing for the YKI test

Here are some of my thoughts about the YKI test (yleinen kielitutkinto): The most important thing - be realistic. Most people aim at the intermediate level which is level B1 and B2. Intermediate level means that you can independently handle topics such as everyday life, work, society, travelling, home, environment etc. Learning process is always individual. Some people can manage in a year, some people need more years. I'm talking about years here.

Teachers will only give you the right directions and support  but you are the one who is doing the studying. Please don't think that your teacher is responsible for your results. It's not the way it goes. If the test goes we
