Full-stack App
Opetellaan Suomea is a language learning app to help Finnish learners with declinaisons & conjugaisons.
When I started to learn Finnish and moved to Finland, I initially found the language very difficult. In order to help me study, I created a simple app with one goal: practicing Finnish verb conjugaisons. I’ve now decided to rewrite this app with more modern technologies (NextJS 13, Tailwind, etc.)
Create a simple to use web application that allows users to practice finnish verb conjugations on the go, without a need to login.
Develop a minimalist but approachable and fun brand identity through logo, colors and fonts.
Here’s a brand board tho show the general colors and feel of the brand:
The blueberries are a representation of Finland’s nature. The brand features rich blue, green and red colors through flat-styled illustrations. The logo and colors are meant to represent Finnish nature. The brand icon uses blueberries as a symbol for Finnish nature and food culture, trying back down to what the service is about: teaching Finnish language.
We decided to opt for Poppins as the main logo and headers font because of it’s fun, rounded and approachable look, while remaining minimalistic and modern.
Try the application on the live site.
The web application features one set of exercises to practice verb conjugations both in the present and in the past tense. The site displays a scoreboard to keep track of the user’s results, and can be reset. Each exercises also displays a verb info section that allows the users to learn conjugations through exercises. The exercise segment also features a convenient way to add finnish characters for users who do not use the finnish keyboard.
