Sehr wenige erwachsene Einwanderer in Finnland erreichen jemals Finnisch auf C -Level – und die meisten hören nie von denen, die dies tun.
Deborah ist einer der wenigen. Sie zog 2021 nach Finnland und lernte in nur 3 Jahren genug Finnisch, um in die Law School der Universität von Helsinki aufgenommen zu werden. Sie erreichte in nur 3 Jahren die Flüssigkeit des C -Spiegels – während sie schwanger war, ein Neugeborenes erziehte und sich an ein völlig neues Land und ein völlig neues Klima anpasste.
In diesem "Wie ich Finnisch gelernt habe" Interview, wir sprechen über:
- Wie sie am schrecklichen Zwischenplateau vorbeibrach
- Warum die meisten Sprachkurse nicht genug waren
- Warum Integration eine Zwei-Wege-Straße ist
- Konkrete Methoden, Studienpläne und reale Routinen, die ihr halfen, die fortgeschrittene Regierungsuntersuchung zu bestehen (VentionHallinnon KielitututKinnot VKT)
- Wie ihre Denkweise ihr half, durchzusetzen
Dieses Interview ist Teil von "Wie ich Finnisch gelernt habe"Eine gemeinnützige Interviewserie, in der ich mit erwachsenen Einwanderern spreche, die eine fortgeschrittene finnische Sprachausstattung erreicht haben. Jeder teilt mit, was für ihn funktioniert hat, damit Sie die für Sie funktionierenden Methoden auswählen können.

Omg you’re spamming this everywhere
Impressive achievement!
Oh great, now I feel even worse about my progress in learning the language 🙁
Kudos to Debora, though. Good job! 👍
`!remove` and ban the spammer please
It is written that it takes about 3 years to learn fluent Finnish and about 5 to sound like a native. It just takes motivation, like with all languages.
Finnish is not an impossibly difficult language. There are language difficulty categories for English speakers:
[https://www.fsi-language-courses.org/blog/fsi-language-difficulty/](https://www.fsi-language-courses.org/blog/fsi-language-difficulty/)
category 1: 24 weeks – for example Swedish
category 2: 30 weeks – for example German
category 3: 36 weeks – for example Malaysian
category 4: 44 weeks – for example Finnish, Estonian, Hindi, Hebrew, Turkish, Greek, Russian
category 5: 88 weeks – for example Arabic, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean
As one can see, the difficult ones in category 5 are such that lots of people learn. Nobody says it is impossible to learn Chinese, Japanene or Arabic, right? Finnish takes about 50% more effort than learning German (44 vs 30 weeks). Lots of people learn Swedish and German in Finnish school. Nobody says it is impossible.
Motivation. Motivation. Motivation.
There was a similar very positive news (in HS?) about an immigrant child who moved to Finland and learned Finnish so she could pass matriculation exam (ylioppilaskoe) in Finnish. Again, good work! I think those good performers are just not often mentioned in news. Just like all those people from other countries working in Finland – lots of them speak good Finnish. I would guess similarly a Finnish person moving to Japan or China would not make news even though they learn the local (much more difficult) language.
I call paskanmarja.
Insane determination to do this. Makes me feel like I made too many excuses
I was an exchange student, I learned passable Finnish in four months. After that it was just picking up vocabulary. The weird thing is 30+ years later I still remember about 90% of it.
Personally I think 99% just don’t have the motivation to learn the language properly, because it’s not expected of them, and it totally should be expected of them.
I think its great to see things like this, learning Finnish (or any language for that matter) is often intimidating and most people think by going to a class they will just absorb it, I’m currently learning progressing pretty fast at Finnish and have done so by using methods people often use for learning Japanese. Like you’ve said before most people who achieve very high Finnish fluency did when they couldn’t speak English beforehand so it’s always motivating to see exceptions
