Learning Finnish using technology - Mission Impossible?
summary
Learning Finnish fast becomes concrete here: a live platform called Finnish Companion is a free not for profit website and app that ships a reverse conjugator, fast dictionary (binary serialized with capn proto) and a drill system called C drills, plus a browser subtitle translator and an Alfred‑like Ninja app built with React/Electron. It hits real numbers — 3,000 monthly users after winning a startup competition — and exposes an open API, sponsorship funding, and no‑ads minimal design.
