Finnish for Foreigners
Our highly popular Finnish for Foreigners courses are open to everyone. The courses are offered all year round, and they provide language training with experienced teachers in an international environment.
"Everything was great. I loved the pupils and the teacher. I have never had such fun before." The level of the courses is indicated with the numbers 1-6, and courses of the same level are marked with the letters A-D. The length of the courses is given as the number of lessons, each lesson lasting for 45 minutes. Objectives and contents of the courses 1-6 Finnish in Finnish
Finnish is the language of instruction in Finnish courses organised by Language Services. The “Finnish in Finnish” method has been proven to accelerate and to enhance learning; the progression of the courses has been designed so that no other languages are needed. Nevertheless, students can always ask for help in other languages when the teachers are circulating in class supervising pair or group work, during breaks or after class.
