Contents

We continue studying where Learn Finnish 5 ends. The aim of the course is to strengthen participants’ skills on level A2.

Themes will include, for example, free time and hobbies, running errands, relationships, holidays, and customs. On grammar, we will focus on, for example, perfect and pluperfect tenses, as well as the use of different tenses. We will also practise speaking and familiarise ourselves with colloquial Finnish.

The textbook Suomen mestari 2 forms the core of the course. We will study chapters 4–6. The themes will be practised with the help of various exercises, texts, tasks, and games. We will also discuss in Finnish.

The course is intensive and students are required to be active both in class and at home. At the end of the course, there will be an oral exam.

The languages of instruction are Finnish and English.

Modes of study

Active and regular attendance and an exam at the end of the course. The course is intensive: participants are required to be active and study independently.

To pass the course, participants are required to attend at least 80 per cent of the lessons.
