Mari Nikonen is a Finnish teacher who runs her own language teaching business, Ask a Finnish Teacher. In this episode of the Finking Cap Podcast, Mari joins me to talk about the YKI language test that many Finnish learners in Finland are or will be familiar with. Listen to Mari talk about the test (in Finnish) and get her top tips for getting ready for YKI. Here are some links that Mari suggests you have a look at when you're preparing for the big Y:

CORRECTION! In the captions, it should say "viitekehyksen" with a "t", not "d". Apologies for the typo!

Tässä jaksossa puhutaan ulkopuolisuuden tunteesta vieraassa maassa suomeksi. In this episode of the Finking Cap Podcast, you will hear Finnish expressions related to falling in love with a new culture, the culture shock that follows and how it feels to not quite understand all the jokes in a different language. If you're learning Finnish and sometimes feel that you can't be "yourself" in Finnish, then you might relate to what I talk about in this episode.

- säikähdän = I get startled

- Hyi! = Ugh / yuk!

- pyydystää = to catch
