Finnish Texts for Beginners

Being able to understand a written text is essential to learn Finnish or any other language. That is why we created this section. Here you will find texts in Finnish with reading comprehension exercises so that you can practice and improve your level of the language. In addition, each text has an audio file that you can listen to while you read it.
At the end of the reading, you will be able to do exercises to evaluate how much you understood the text and correct any mistakes.
Since all the texts and exercises are online, this allows you to study Finnish wherever and whenever you want. If you prefer, you also have the possibility of downloading the texts in PDF format to be able to print them.
