:p Unfortunately, I still have lots of trouble with more simple novels as well. I am currently attending classes in Korea, and I can tell you that it is quite difficult to follow academic speech, and it's certainly above me! For now.

Most of these don't come up in 99% of everyday life, but they're common in novels and tv programs (mostly historical ones and formal broadcasts). Korean doesn't inflect based on person (I'd imagine that Finish does?), but there are many many inflections for lowering or raising speech based on who is speaking and/or whom is being spoken to.

I don't know how the number of Korean inflections compares to Finnish, but it seems much much higher than the number of inflections present in something like Japanese (very similar structures and language to Korean). If my word count is anything to go by, I'd assume that the known word count for a B2 level of communication would be quite high in Finnish as well. I would imagine my writing score to be very low because I never do any formal writing, but I can communicate with friends over text without issues most of the time. These tests supposedly correspond closely to the European framework, but the results that I have received would put me at a solid B2 in listening and closer to a C1 level in reading. Unfortunately, I can't really check out the writing sections because I don't know specifically how they would grade them. I've taken the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) practice tests (past ones) on my own, and I score around 65-75/100 on the reading and around 50-60/100 on the listening when I take it. Hey Christian, I think I might be able to help a bit because Korean, like Finnish is agglutinative and has more inflections than other languages I've seen. Swedish is one of the official languages in Finland though but only about 5% speak Swedish there.

They use different cases and conjugations and things are a bit simplified and shortened as well as word choices are different.įinnish is not a minor language in Sweden and the languages are completely different so there's not much of an advantage other than a few loan words here and there from Swedish and some similar expressions (not that many but there are some). It takes some getting used to just speaking the language. But when you do, don't be frustrated if you feel it's different. But LingQ definitely has helped with speaking since I understand so much more! But the choice to start speaking can happen at any time whether you choose to do it earlier or later. I find it quite different to speak and to read since the spoken language differs quite a bit from the written language. Yeah I think I started taking iTalki Finnish lessons after 3-4 months of LingQ.
