In plain English

Finnish Flow is a learn-Finnish website built for English speakers. It packs bite-sized lessons, grammar explanations, vocabulary lists, reading passages, and an interactive placement quiz into a single web page. The whole thing runs from one HTML file, so there's nothing to install or configure, you just open it in a browser and start learning. The site covers material from beginner (A1) through intermediate (B2) levels on the standard European language framework. The standout feature is a 50-question placement test that figures out where you are on that scale. When you finish the quiz, it scores you and maps your result to a CEFR level: scoring 0, 25% puts you at A1, 26, 50% at A2, 51, 75% at B1, and 76, 100% at B2. The quiz works by reading hidden answer-key tables embedded in the page and comparing them against your responses. This is for self-directed learners who want to pick up Finnish without signing up for an account or navigating a complex platform. It could also be useful for teachers who want a ready-made placement tool to gauge where new students should start. Someone moving to Finland for work or study, for example, could take the quiz to see whether they should begin with basics or jump into intermediate grammar. The project is notably simple in its architecture. Everything, the visual design, the lesson content, the styling, and the quiz logic, lives in one HTML file. That makes it easy for contributors to edit without wrestling with a build system or multiple frameworks, though it does mean the file is quite large. The repo includes contribution guidelines for anyone who wants to add or refine assessment items.
