Learn Finnish with us
Alberobello EDUcares teachers offers Finnish language courses.
Learn Finnish for Life, Work, and Study!
Our Finnish language training helps you learn and practice Finnish for everyday life, work, study—and beyond, through engaging with Finnish literature. This training is suitable for everyone, whether you are just starting or want to improve your skills. You can join individually or in a small group, and we tailor the content to meet your specific needs and goals.
In our training, you will learn essential Finnish words and phrases for daily situations, such as shopping, chatting with neighbors, or handling appointments. We also introduce Finnish used in the workplace, helping you feel more comfortable in a Finnish-speaking work environment. If you plan to study in Finland, we support you with the language skills needed for academic settings.
To make learning more immersive, we incorporate Finnish literature. Exploring short stories, poems, or even dialogues from Finnish authors, you will gain insight into Finnish culture and language use in a unique, engaging way. Literature-based exercises help expand vocabulary, spark conversation, and deepen understanding of Finnish customs and everyday expressions.
For example, in one session, we might practice a typical school scenario: asking questions in class, discussing assignments, and communicating with teachers and classmates. Each session includes regular speaking practice, helping you actively use and retain what you’ve learned.
This training builds your confidence to speak Finnish and feel at home in Finland! We are also happy to customize the course to suit your specific needs and learning goals.
All the teachers have a masters degree in education and are specialized in teaching Finnish language.
