As of 24th June 2020, we are happy to announce that on Duolingo, the Finnish Course is finally out!
With references ranging from Star Trek to ABBA, and a collection of amusing sentences and Finnish-only vocabulary like Sisu and Kantele, the Finnish course is coming in like a rocket. The course is still in beta, and the accented-letter-buttons do not exist under the text box as of now, but other than that, the Finnish course could be one of the best ever created by Duolingo. It has set records spinning with a near instant 23 000+ learners on Duolingo this morning at 10 a.m., growing from the 4k yesterday.
Originally planned for release in April 2020, the deadline was extended to 31 December 2020 after Mari @Zzzzz... commented on the Duolingo Incubator page four months ago:
""Lupaus on velkaakin pahempi"
"A promise is even worse than a debt" - an old Finnish proverb
As you can see, we have changed the estimated completion date juuuust a tad. I'm afraid yours truly is a bit slow and didn’t realise that you do not have to be a staff member to change the date. As for why the date was changed, Finns do not make promises unless we are certain we can keep them. We intend to make as good a course as we can, that we can promise. How long will building it take? There are too many variables involved to predict that. I waited 5 years to get started on this course. I have no intention of messing it up now, no matter how many brainstorming sessions in the sauna it takes to get it done.
Hakkaa päälle!

The Duolingo Finnish Gold Course Contributor commented five days ago, referencing Midsummer in Finland, and not soon after, Team Suomi was brought to glory as Finnish appeared, in beta, in the language-learning options on Duolingo. We hope that those who read this article will thank Team Suomi too and pick up Finnish. Our King made the entire first checkpoint gold in his excitement, on the very first day; yesterday - we hope you will share that excitement with him.
Finland has won the Happiest Country nomination three years in a row, and no doubt, this Finnish course brings joy to some of our users too. It restores bonds and makes people joyous as before. Finnish people are also extremely smart, their children acing exams with loads of free time too. With its glistening snow and amazing wildlife, not to forget the cleanest air in the world, Finland is truly a wonderful place.
Duolingo is one of the highest-grossing language learning platforms to be used in this day and age, with over 300 million users - and it's completely free, though they offer a premium subscription, which doesn't unlock any additional lessons.
Thank you for listening to the first episode of Season 1 of the Litish 101 Podcast. More episodes will be released soon. Bye!
