The Finnish language is the key to our culture and customs! There is more to Finland than just the delightfully scenic landscapes and wonders of sauna culture. Learning some of the language will open you a completely new perspective on what it really means to be Finnish. There might not be billions of Finnish speakers around the world (yet, we are working on it), but in Finland having some basic skills of Finnish will help you build your life here.
In addition, despite its reputation, Finnish might not be the hardest language of the world to learn. Come along, we will show you the basics and then some!
