Intensive summer course In Finnish language
Learn Finnish in everyday life situations
In the intensive courses, we study the Finnish language in everyday situations. We do a lot of conversation exercises and learn vocabulary and grammar. You can also repeat what you already know. There are no pre-entry level requirements for the courses. There are volunteers in the course who speak Finnish as their mother tongue.
Both courses run for five days from Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 14 PM. There are five lessons each day. You are welcome to come in June for either the first or second week or both weeks. You will receive a certificate of participation to the course.
