Built around the real YKI exam

The YKI intermediate test checks four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Oma Suomi trains each one, on top of a strong daily vocabulary habit.

Why a little vocabulary every day?

Remember for longer

Short, repeated reviews move words into long-term memory far better than cramming.

Build a habit

A daily goal and streak make Finnish part of your routine, not a weekend chore.

Unlock every skill

Words are the base of reading, listening, writing and speaking. More words, more points.
