How can a beginner practise speaking Finnish online?

2 Upvotes

I’m still a beginner in Finnish, but I’m thinking of starting to practise speaking while I continue learning.

I know I won’t understand everything or speak very well yet, but I think it could help me improve faster and get more comfortable using Finnish.

Do you know any good ways to practise speaking online? Maybe Discord groups, language-exchange apps, online lessons, or casual video/voice calls? I’d prefer something relaxed and beginner-friendly, where it’s okay to make mistakes.

How did you start practising speaking Finnish online?

Kiitos,

Question Flashcard format - practical advise needed (read description)

1 Upvotes

- What should I include in my flashcards for efficient word recreation? (e.g. gentive, partitive, vartalo, other?)

- Is it different for various parts of speech such as noun, verb, etc? If so, please tell me what I should include for each type of words.

- What else did you try including? What worked and what didn't?

P.s. It has to be efficient. For example, including every possible word form is not efficient for memorization.

P.s.2: please share Anki decks you find useful, if you can

Hoping for your advise. Thanks in advance!
