Fast speed Finnish

Real Finnish at full speed. Funny shows mix book Finnish and talk Finnish in one sentence.

Fast Finnish drops a lot. Small words like I and you disappear, other small words join onto action words, and words run together fast. Even good students need to listen again. Funny shows are the hardest part. Jokes jump between book Finnish and talk Finnish, and use different ways of speaking from different areas. Group talk shows are hard too, because people talk over each other. News shows use book Finnish, but they talk fast, so word endings get hard to hear. Watch once just to get the idea. Then watch small parts again. Slow the video down if you can, and write down the words you did not catch.
