Finnish pronunciation workshop in November 26th

Come practice Finnish pronunciation with me and my colleague Päivi Virkkunen! Päivi is specialized in phonetics, so she is really good at teaching Finnish pronunciation. 


Time, place and price: 


  • Time: Wednedsay, November 26, from 19.00 to 21.00 Finnish time (UTC+3)
  • Place: Zoom
  • Price: 32 €
  • Sign up in Päivi's online store

Content of the workshop:


  • The vowels y,ö and ä
  • Finnish h (a little different depending on the other sounds around it)
  • Finnish l (surprisingly tricky)
  • The ŋ sound (hiding in nk and ng!)
  • No aspiration! (k, p, and t are just k, p and t.)
  • Duration (long and short vowels and consonants)

How does it work?


  • Päivi and I will first model the pronunciation and explain how it's done, and then the students can practice with their microphones off. After that, you can ask questions, and then we'll move on to the next topic.
  • We will speak Finnish, but the slides are in Finnish and in English. 
  • If you want, you can be completely silent and anonymous during the workshop, but you can also have your camera and microphone on and participate in the conversation.

Tervetuloa työpajaan! Welcome to the workshop!
