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 ready for this exam. Every conversation, correction, and exam drill is shaped around the real YKI format — so your practice actually counts.
What you'll master
Every part of the exam — practiced, not memorized.
The YKI tests four skills in a single day. YKIprep strengthens each one, starting with the two that trip people up most.
Subtest 02AI feedback
Writing
Write messages, emails, and opinion pieces and get instant feedback on grammar, structure, and word choice — the most common reason people fail the exam.
Subtest 03Real text types
Reading
Interpret forms, emails, and articles quickly by practicing exactly the task types the YKI uses — so nothing surprises you on exam day.
Subtest 04Real speaking speed
Listening
Follow conversations, announcements, and news at natural speed and respond the way the exam expects.

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.
“Typing in Finnish is slow?”
Speech recognition
Just say it out loud. Dictation, not recording — so translating still works perfectly.
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. No long onboarding, no loop to click through. You land straight in the chat.
Privacy considered from the start No long onboarding
“Hi! What do you want to talk about today?”
