- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.

  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

YouTube description:

This video is a mini-documentary about the Finnish Language. First I investigate the history of the Finnish language before dissecting some of its important features.

Special thanks to Atte Kankkunen, Iida Virtanen, and Tura Satana for their audio recordings and advice.

► Special italki "buy 1 get 1 free" offer for Langfocus viewers: http://go.italki.com/1Ojye8x

You may have noticed that italki is now a partner of the Langfocus channel, which is why I mention them in the first 12 seconds. :) I've had many offers from other companies, but they were the one partner I was happy to work with.
