In this episode, you will hear a conversation about nature and everyman's rights, jokaisenoikeudet, which relate to the freedom to roam in nature, regardless of who owns the land.

My guests today are Risto Holappa and Rita Porkka, who are both entrepreneurs, and they both work closely with nature-related themes. We talk about what nature means to them and what they enjoy doing in the forest.

This is NOT a sponsored episode, the focus of our discussion is on nature and our personal experiences, although Risto and Rita do mention their businesses in the episode.

We speak fairly fast Finnish at times, so please ask me in the comments if you have questions about any of the expressions or structures that you hear in this episode. I'll be happy to help!

Are you struggling to speak Finnish even though you know the language? It's completely normal to freeze when you have to speak another language, especially if you're using Finnish to run errands or for work. For me, it was difficult to speak French in a professional environment despite knowing quite a lot of French already. I even forgot how to say the numbers once (or a few times...)! But I kept practising, and the hard work paid off as soon as I started applying what I already knew in real life. In this episode of the Finking Cap Podcast, I tell you a story of how I got the courage to finally answer the phone in French, in France. I hope that this story will help you find the motivation to start using Finnish in your everyday life.Finking Cap Podcast is a podcast for Finnish learners who want to practise their listening skills.
