You finished the Duolingo tree.
You still can't read the news.

Textbooks teach “Anna is at the store.” Real Finnish is jääkauden, metsästyksestä, itsenäistyi — with nothing in between, so you stall at A2. The way out is reading real things, but every paragraph means 11 dictionary lookups. Lukija removes that part.

Yeah, but how?

Three steps. No lessons, no decks to build, no dictionary tabs.

1 · Paste anything

2 · Read with a safety net

“I stalled at A2 for two years. I could order coffee but not read the news about the café. I built Lukija to make real Finnish text readable before you're ready for it — because that's the only way you ever get ready.”
