What learners say

The best
Actually, I almost never rate any app at all - but KIELO is the exception… It’s the best Finnish learning app I tested so far…
… you actually get a quick but thorough explanation why (grammar’s structure) you have to use it this or that way. It just clicks a bit more this way and I already understand a lot more Finnish than I thought I would do.

… The built-in AI explains all the nuances of the language: how to say something formally, how not to, what is used more often, etc. … My favorite thing is the cutest characters who explain the nuances of the Finnish language to each other using English vocabulary.
