NOTE: The teaching is based on the video "Learn Finnish with Sulkasiipi" in Youtube.
By watching those videos and reading these things here, it's more easier for you
to learn Finnish! Grammar and things like that I'm gonna teach by myself.
GOOD LUCK!

If 'ä' and 'ö' are too hard for you to learn to pronounce, I think you should use
English in order to help you! Let me show you few things:
- ä is similar to æ in English: 'cat' is pronounced like 'kæt'
- ö is similar to ə in English: 'bird' is pronounced like 'bərd'
