Why YKIprep
An exam that decides your future here deserves more than a streak counter.
The YKI intermediate exam — level 3, CEFR B1 — is what Finland requires when you apply for citizenship. Speaking and writing are where most people stumble, and general apps barely touch them.
YKIprep does one thing: gets you talking. Every conversation is shaped around the Finnish you'll need on exam day and in everyday life here — so your practice actually counts.
What's inside
One chat — and everything you need in it.
YKIprep is a conversation with an AI tutor. Four things turn that conversation into practice you can keep up every day.
02One tap
Tap to translate
Don't know a word? Tap it and see what it means right inside the chat — no switching to a dictionary and losing your place.
03When you're stuck
Reply suggestions
Ready-made reply options sit under each message, so you're never stranded mid-conversation. Each one can be listened to and translated too.
04Hear it right
Listen to any line
Tap a word or a sentence and hear it pronounced properly, so you learn how Finnish actually sounds instead of guessing.

Chat view
One screen. Everything you need is right under the message.
The chat is the whole app — every other screen just gets you here faster. Stuck on a word? Not sure how to say something? The answer is one tap away, never on a new page.
Hi! What do you want to talk about today?
“Not sure how to pronounce it?”
Listen
Tap a word or sentence — hear it pronounced correctly, don't just guess.
“Don't know what it means?”
Translate
Tap, look, keep going. Right inside the chat — no switching apps.
“Can't think of how to reply?”
Suggestions
Ready-made reply options under each message, each with its own listen and translate button.
Getting in
One splash screen, one sign-in, straight into the chat.
Open the app to a simple splash screen, then one combined sign-up and sign-in screen — email, Google, or Apple, whichever you already use. Not ready to sign up? Try it without an account and create one later to keep your progress.
Privacy considered from the start No long onboarding
“Hi! What do you want to talk about today?”

FAQ
Questions, answered honestly.
The YKI (National Certificate of Language Proficiency) is Finland's official language exam. The intermediate level (level 3 / CEFR B1) is required for Finnish citizenship, and it tests four skills: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. YKIprep helps you build the everyday Finnish those tasks are made of, through conversation.
No. The AI adapts from complete beginner to advanced. It can explain rules and words in English and other languages, even while you practice in Finnish.
General apps teach tourist Finnish and gamify streaks. YKIprep is a conversation: you write to an AI tutor in Finnish about real, everyday situations, and you can translate or hear anything you don't understand without leaving the chat.
It's a chat with an AI tutor in Finnish. Pick a topic and start writing. Tap any word to translate it, tap to hear it pronounced, and use the ready-made reply suggestions whenever you're stuck. Your conversations are kept in Learning History so you can pick any of them up again.
Tap it to hear it out loud, or tap translate to see what it means — right inside the chat, no switching apps. If you can't think of a reply, ready-made suggestions are always under the message.
You get 10 chat minutes free, with no card — and you can even try the app without creating an account. All Pro plans include unlimited chat, an ad-free experience, your full chat history, premium AI responses, and priority support. Choose $3.99 billed weekly, $9.99 billed monthly, or $69.99 billed annually (equivalent to $5.83 per month).
