Finnish pronunciation practice

Listen to a short phrase, record yourself, and compare the two. You can do that here without an account. Sign in for pronunciation scores when assessment is available.

Notice sound length

In Finnish, the length of a vowel or consonant can change the word. Listen for how long the speaker holds each sound. Copy one short phrase at a time; speaking faster is not the goal.

Compare, then try once more

Play the model at normal speed. Record a take and listen to both versions. Choose one word to work on rather than trying to change everything at once. A quieter room and a microphone near you make the comparison easier.

What a score means

When enabled, Azure compares your recording with the displayed Finnish sentence. The result is a practice estimate, not a Finnish exam or a judgement of your accent. Colloquial forms and background noise can affect it. You can skip speaking and continue learning.

Free practice and Löyly+

Learning and listening stay free. Signed-in learners can try a daily allowance of assessments when enabled. Löyly+ adds more assessments with fair-use limits and feedback on every word, alongside Situations and AI conversation. The app shows the current allowance before you record.

Listen. Record. Compare.
