Duo all the way

I am using Duolingo to learn Finnish since (checks phone) longer than the 108 day streak I am on now. There were shorter streaks before that.

I moved to Finland in 2021. Learning Finnish was a big part of the conversation here. And I wanted to. To better understand the culture and the people perhaps. I wanted to make an effort, in any case.

I have finished Section 1 and am on Section 2 now. I know a few words.

Duolingo is good for that, for building vocabulary. But there is no explanation. It is a bit of pattern matching. Similar to how I got 97 in Sanskrit in my tenth grade.

But, there are no explanations. I don't know much about the grammar. I don't know for example, why do they add an extra 'a' to words. Why?

I will finish this section soon. There are not that many sections for Finnish. And it would be nice to know that there are certain things that are allowed to end in this world.

I will find something else then. But till then, I will continue Duolingoing.
