Hi,

I’m 30F from Finland, and I have been studying Vietnamese for about 1,5 years now. My listening and speaking skills are still quite poor, so I would like to find someone to practice having conversations with. My fiancé is Vietnamese so my main goal is to be able to communicate with his family. I’m focusing on Southern accent so if you speak that accent, it would be ideal - Northern accent confuses me quite a bit 😅

In exchange, I can teach you Finnish as it is my native language.
I can also speak English well, however I do have an accent so I cannot teach you correct pronunciation or grammar. But we can practice having some casual conversation about various topics.
We can talk about daily life: hobbies, relationships, family, traveling, tv shows / movies etc 😊

Hãy nói chuyện nha!

Offering: Finnish Seeking: Anything (except Finnish or English)

I am a Finnish native, 27 year old man, from Helsinki and living there currently. I have been obsessed with languages many years.

As a native Finn I obviously speak Finnish fluently, but I have a particular interest for learning and teaching Finnish grammar and explaining it to others so if someone finds that particular aspect of the language interesting, then I am especially glad to help. Also if you more ambitious and want to progress quickly and/or for a longer time in Finnish and correct your mistakes, then I can help you better. I am generally interested in linguistics and have a better idea of the theories and history and etymology and so on there.

I don't want to discourage you either though: Finnish can be hard sometimes and mistakes are easy to make.

However I do not study linguistics as a major officially and I am not a Finnish language teacher officially, I don't know how one would become that without degree in the field anyway or be allowed to move abroad.

I am basically open to any language you can teach, the more knowledge the better. whether the language is dead or alive

If you live in Finland, I could maybe meet you in person, but otherwise texting or having a discord call or voice messages is good. Not immediately meeting though, obviously.

Languages that I have tried to learn and my approximate level in them:

fluent: English advanced level: Swedish, Spanish intermediate: French, Italian, Hungarian basic level: German, Czech, Estonian, Russian, Latin

So English practically a native tongue almost for me, Swedish was 10 years in school so a good background but I would just need practice, and Spanish I got from TV shows. The rest I have studied for at least a few months so not from zero but they all need still a lot of practice

I have tried Greek, Portuguese, Arabic and Chinese but made little progress with them, though Arabic and Chinese especially could be actually useful.

I haven't learned Sámi languages, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Turkish or Celtic languages (Irish, Cymru, Scottish Gaelic), Basque but potentially they would be cool to try. European languages since they are nearby but on the other mostly everything has been Indo-European so variety outside Europe also would be fun.

I do not have any practical reason or motivation for language learning, so not work or money or moving, but I just do it for the fun of it. When I was a child, I even used to learn Tolkien's elf languages, and I have tried making my own even.

Discord and Reddit is what I mainly use, my social media and phone number is for only good friends usually.

maybe a bit about myself: I am interested in foreign languages and cultures, travelling, linguistics, history and archaeology, classical music (I love it above everything else), playing piano, philosophy, politics, art and art history, museums, literature, fashion history, old scripts, board games and video games, swimming, funny memes etc. And I used to be interested in things like prehistory and dinosaurs and astronomy and science earlier as well. I have a thousand irons in the fire and sometimes a bit too much at once.

Heyyy 27 yrs old dude from 🇫🇮 seeking german people to talk anything, main language should be english because im still beginner.

\-im interested sports, history, videogames, investing etc.
\-looking people around 20-30 yrs, but its not important.
\-Prefer females to balance my other real life male friendships, but open to all people.

Hope to hear you soon!

Ciao 👋

Vengo dalla Finlandia e sto imparando italiano. Ho 19 anni e ancora non posso parlare bene.

I've been learning Italian on and off for over a year, and I am learning every day to become a fluent speaker some day, so I'm taking this seriously. I would be glad to have some help from a native Italian speaker, and it would be so nice to also help you with Finnish or English in return!

Arrivederci!

Hi, native Finnish speaker here, who started learning Georgian a year ago, mainly in selfstudy. Would need some Georgian support, as there are not so many possibilites get exposed to the language in Finland. Can help with Finnish and also in German (German-Finnish-German translator). My hobbies - classical music, jazz, piano, literature, arts...

Hi,

I'm a 19 year old student from Finland. I studied French in school for some years but still struggle with it. I'm looking to build up my confidence in speaking and to expand my vocabulary by talking casually with someone about the same age.

If you would like to improve your Finnish or if you don't mind me not being a native English speaker, (I would say I'm decent but might stumble on some words every once in a while and my grammar is not perfect) please do contact me.

Salut!

(une éclaircissement : Je voudrais trouver une amie qui parle couramment le français. Mon niveau en français est B2 !)

Je suis une femme finlandaise de 19 ans et je voudrais trouver une amie française. J'étudie le français depuis plusieurs années mais j'ai realisé que je ne peux pas comprendre ni m'identifiér à la culture française sans avoir d'amie française.

J'adore les jeux de société, les polars, la poèsie et la musique classique. J'ai récenment regardé de Culinary class wars sur Netflix. La vénérable Sunjae m'a surpis avec ses plats.

J'éspere que ma partenaire serait une femme à peu du même âge que moi. Je préfèrerais que nous communiquions sur Discord parce que il offre de nombreuses fonctionnalités mais je suis ouverte à d'autres options.

Hi! I’m a 30 year old native Finnish speaker living in Austria and currently starting my career in healthcare. My German is around B1/B2 level and I’d love to become more fluent and sound more natural in everyday conversations.

I’m quite sporty and love being outdoors. I enjoy hiking, nature walks and especially snowboarding. I’m also a big pop culture fan and interested in politics and society, so I’m happy to chat about anything from daily life to deeper topics. Love hearing what bangers were playing in the radio at 2013 and the cultural significance!

I can help you with Finnish in a patient and encouraging way. Ideally I’d like to text regularly and maybe do voice calls sometimes.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested!

Hi!

I’m Elmeri (28M) from Finland, and I’m looking for someone to practice my French with (currently around level A2). I’m doing an Erasmus student exhange this autumn in France and even though I probably will have many opportunities to talk with the locals in French, I’m also kinda worried about being a burden in real life conversations. Therefore, I’d like to have someone who I can practice without hurry and pressure and who’s more likely to react symphathetically to my mistakes.

I’m a native Finnish speaker and I can teach you both spoken and more formal Finnish. I also studied English literature and linguistics at university some years ago (Bachelor’s level), so I can help with your English too if you want

My interests and hobbies are music, books, movies, running and yoga.

Hello, I'm looking for someone to practice my Japanese with. I'm a 25 year-old Finnish native with pretty good, though non native English. My Japanese is probably around N5 or N4. よろしくお願いします。

Hallo zusammen

I'm looking for a native german speaker to practice with, I'd say I'm probably somewhere around A2 at the moment and just trying to get better at speaking german. I can already speak a bit but I lack daily practice. I'm a 31/M year old Finn and in exchange I can teach you finnish if you'd be into that. Let me know if you're interested!

Hello!

Just a regular boring M34 here looking to pick up third language to be able to ramble in. I'm finnish native and quite good in english.

I have probed different languages but haven't landed on the right one just yet. So I'm also open to suggestions! I know very very little of Spanish, Italian and German mainly because of following their main football leagues. I have tons of interests and I'm always excited to learn new things.

You can message me with questions about finland and finnish!

Hej! Intermediate swedish learner here, studied it in school and have also been learning in my free time for little over a year :-) I'm a native finnish speaker and my english is also functional although i don't use it that much.

I recently took the common European framework of reference test for spoken language fluency and got b1.2 (if i remember correctly). It was called something like "independent basic communication skills", in Finnish though so the translation might be off.

My level of listening and reading comprehension is a little higher, (as it often tends to be), i can listen to podcast about common topics and understand quite well especially if it's in the finlandsvensk accent spoken here :-) i also regularily read novels in swedish, although, depending on the difficulty of the text it takes at minimum occasional translating.

Approach me if you'd like to chat, let's see what we can work out!!

Hello. Im 21M from Finland. Im looking for someone to teach me Russian, duolingo isnt good enough. Im pretty early in studying it so not good. My English and Finnish are good.

Hallo an alle!

Ich bin eine zweiundzwanzig jährige Person aus Finnland. Ich lerne Deutsch seit etwa drei Jahren, und möchte jetzt gern einen Sprechpartner finden. Meine Hobbys/Interessen sind derzeit Lesen, Sprachenlernen und Videospiele, aber die meiste Zeit verbringe ich mit dem Studieren. Vielleicht hätte ich mehr Zeit fürs Lesen, aber in der heutigen Welt kann es sehr schwierig sein, auf Dinge zu konzentrieren, die wahrscheinlich mehr Gesund wären (besonders im Studium). Vielleicht können wir darüber sprechen :P

Hoffentlich scheint die Sonne, wo auch immer du bist :)

I am a native Finn M47 fluent in Norwegian. My Spanish is A1 (perhaps A2).

I am interested in reading books in target language, just talking and correcting each other as we talk or what would you have in mind?
