    Food aid in Oulu, Finland (learn Finnish by listening)

    Learn Finnish by listening to the Finking Cap Podcast! Finland is said to be the happiest country in the world, however, we have people here who don't have enough money to cover the basics like food. I wanted to make an episode about how food banks in Oulu work. In this episode of the Finking Cap, I interview Katja Suhonen, the food aid expert and director of the "hub" where food donations are sorted and distributed to different locations. This hub is called Prikkakeskus, and their operating model has proven to be so successful that the city of Oulu has made it a permanent service, starting from 2026. After the interview, I point out a few Finnish words from our conversation and I explain them to you, in Finnish, of course. I have made the PDF transcript available for members of the Finking Cap Club: https://finkingcapclub.com/. The Finking Cap Club has lots of Finnish listening content, grammar courses and exercises, so if you're thinking of spending your summer learning Finnish independently, check it out.

    Community and sense of community in Finland

    Veera is back! Listen to Veera and I talk about communities and sense of community in Finland. We talk about what life in the countryside is like compared with living in a "big" Finnish city like Helsinki. How does one find a community of people around them in Finland? The Finking Cap Podcast is a podcast for Finnish learners, in which we speak slower Finnish than we would usually speak. If you're a member of the Finking Cap Club, you will find a PDF transcript for this and all my other episodes at https://finkingcapclub.com/.

    Listen to nature talk in Finnish | Relationship with nature and everyman's rights in Finland

    In this episode, you will hear a conversation about nature and everyman's rights, jokaisenoikeudet, which relate to the freedom to roam in nature, regardless of who owns the land. My guests today are Risto Holappa and Rita Porkka, who are both entrepreneurs, and they both work closely with nature-related themes. We talk about what nature means to them and what they enjoy doing in the forest. This is NOT a sponsored episode, the focus of our discussion is on nature and our personal experiences, although Risto and Rita do mention their businesses in the episode. We speak fairly fast Finnish at times, so please ask me in the comments if you have questions about any of the expressions or structures that you hear in this episode. I'll be happy to help! Find out more about Risto and Rita and their work: Risto Holappa: https://willit.fi/en Rita Porkka: https://naturest.fi/ The PDF transcript for this episode (along with lots of other Finnish content and courses) is available for members of the Finking Cap Club: https://finkingcapclub.com/

    Onko sinun vaikeaa puhua suomea?

    Are you struggling to speak Finnish even though you know the language? It's completely normal to freeze when you have to speak another language, especially if you're using Finnish to run errands or for work. For me, it was difficult to speak French in a professional environment despite knowing quite a lot of French already. I even forgot how to say the numbers once (or a few times...)! But I kept practising, and the hard work paid off as soon as I started applying what I already knew in real life. In this episode of the Finking Cap Podcast, I tell you a story of how I got the courage to finally answer the phone in French, in France. I hope that this story will help you find the motivation to start using Finnish in your everyday life.Finking Cap Podcast is a podcast for Finnish learners who want to practise their listening skills.
