When you’re prepping for the YKI Intermediate Exam (B1–B2) — the language test standing between you and Finnish citizenship — it’s easy to get lost in grammar books and vocab flashcards. But then the speaking section looms, and it’s a whole different beast. You’ve got to talk logically, stay on track, and handle anything from daily chit-chat to big ideas — all on the spot. No wonder it’s the part that rattles most people.

Here’s the deal: speaking isn’t just a bonus. It’s half the game in two of the three combos that unlock citizenship:

  • Speaking + Writing
  • Reading Comprehension + Speaking

Skip serious speaking practice, and you’re betting your Finnish future on luck. Let’s not play that game.

“I Can Talk in Finnish… Until the Exam Hits”

Imagine Sara. She’s been in Finland for years, chats with coworkers, orders kahvi ja pulla like a pro, and even haggles with her landlord in Finnish. “Speaking? I’m golden,” she thinks, strutting into the YKI test. Then — wham — the examiner asks her to explain “work-life balance” in a clear, structured way. Sara stumbles, rambles, and walks out deflated. Her Finnish was solid. Her YKI speaking prep? Not even close. Ring a bell?

The YKI speaking section isn’t casual banter. It’s about delivering structured, goal-driven answers under pressure. Wing it, and you’re sunk.
