Do you want to learn Finnish quickly and efficiently? If you’re at least 18 years old, literate, and familiar with the Latin alphabet, come to Haapavesi folk high school for our
Intensive Finnish Language Course!
The course is designed for individuals who have no knowledge of the Finnish language or who have only a basic understanding of it.
The course lasts approximately 10 weeks (March 17 – May 28). Classes are held from Monday to Friday, with five lessons per day. While primarily focused on Finnish language, we also integrate topics related to culture and working life of Finland. The course is also suitable for compulsory education students.
