Finnish is a very different language to English. The Finnish language makes English, French, German and Spanish all look like the same language with slight variations in vocabulary. This blog is my attempt to get my head around the differences and to explain some of the oddities in an understandable way.

The new approach to vocabulary
It's been a long time since I posted here, and my Finnish hasn't progressed much at all. But today I read an article that pointed out that if you learn 3 new words in a foreign language every day, you'll have a vocabulary of over a thousand words. And in English, 70% of what is written uses just that amount of vocabulary. So perhaps it's time to start that in Finnish:
haalari overalls
ikä age (how old you are)
juttu thing
