You've been studying Finnish, but the words won't take root.

You focus on grammar in your courses—cases, verb types, sentence structures. You get example texts and exercises, but nobody actually teaches you how to learn and remember the vocabulary.

There's not enough time for that. Not enough time for conversation practice, for deepening your vocabulary, for actually using what you're learning in real life.

So you end up with a pile of words you've "seen" but can't remember when you need them. The words are stuck in the back of your head when you need them at the tip of your tongue.

You want to feel yourself making genuine progress—actually knowing and using words—before moving on to the next thing.


This course teaches you the missing skill: how to make vocabulary stick.

Not just "learn more words." But develop a personal memory system that brings words from the back of your head to the tip of your tongue—so you can actually use them when speaking.

This is the skill that makes everything else you're learning work better. Whether you're just starting with Finnish or you've been studying for years.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

All Finnish levels are welcome. Remembering words is a foundational skill you'll use throughout your entire Finnish journey.

✓ You're tired of forgetting words you've studied (and wondering if you’re even capable of remembering them)
 ✓ You want to make real progress—actually knowing and using words—instead of just adding more to study
 ✓ You're ready to be strategic about which words to learn (instead of trying to learn everything)
 ✓ You want a system you can use independently, adapted to your needs and preferences

This is NOT for you if:

  • You're looking for grammar explanations or a traditional Finnish course

  • You want someone to give you a word list to memorize

  • You're not willing to practice between sessions (you have to put in some work to develop this valuable skill. But the effort is well worth it!)


What you'll learn

Session 1: Making Unfamiliar Words Memorable

Learn a memory technique that works even when Finnish words look impossibly long or like nothing you're used to. (There's a reason they look that way—and once you understand it, they become much more approachable.)

Between sessions: Practice the technique with words you choose.



Session 2: Strategic Selection + Real-Life Practice

Not all words are worth learning right now. Learn how to identify your priority words—the ones that will actually help you speak better this week. Then use them in a real conversation.

Between sessions: Practice your strategic words in real life, notice what works.



Session 3: Troubleshooting + Making Your System Stick

Refine your system based on what you've learned. Troubleshoot challenges. Learn how to keep this working long after the course ends.

After this session: You have a system you can apply independently to any new vocabulary.



What you'll walk away with

✅ A personal memory system you can confidently apply to any new words or phrases—knowing they'll stick

✅ Words at the tip of your tongue instead of stuck in the back of your head

✅ Real progress in how much Finnish you actually know and can use—not just how much you've "studied"

✅ Deep roots that make everything else grow stronger: grammar courses, textbook exercises, real-life practice—all more effective when you can actually remember and use the words you need



What this isn't

This is not a traditional Finnish course. I won't teach you grammar or give you a list of words to memorize.

This is a skill-building course. You'll learn how to remember words, which words to prioritize, and how to use them in real life.

You'll do the practice work between sessions. I'll coach you through building a system that works for you—one you'll use long after this course ends.

ABOUT ME

I'm Irina, and I learned Finnish as an adult. I know what it's like to study words you can't remember when you need them. Once I built a system that actually worked with how my brain learns, everything clicked. Now I want to show you how.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to know Finnish already?

    This course works for all levels. If you're just starting and those new-looking words stump you, this will help. If you've been studying for years but can't remember words when speaking, this will also help. It's a foundational skill you'll use throughout your Finnish journey.

  • What if I've tried memory techniques before and they didn't work?

    If you've stuck post-its all over your apartment or tried other one-off techniques, this is different. This is a complete system, made up of a few key skills—not just a single trick. You'll learn how to customize it to your learning style and preferences, while also understanding what your brain actually needs to remember and use words when speaking.

  • Will this help me with grammar too?

    Indirectly, yes. When you can actually remember the words, practicing grammar becomes much easier. But this course focuses specifically on the memory/vocabulary skill. For grammar, you'll want a traditional course or book.

  • What if I can't make all 3 sessions?

    All 3 sessions build on each other—you need to be at all three to get the complete system. If you can't commit to all 3 dates, I recommend joining my newsletter and waiting for the next round to be announced.
