Let’s read together – Finnish language teaching
Tuesdays from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
We study and learn to speak and write Finnish in small groups (1-3 people together with an instructor). In the group, we study current affairs, using newspapers and literature, among other things. The participant’s progression takes place according to their own starting level and wishes.
Children are also welcome in the small group and Kompassi has good facilities for peaceful baby care. In small groups you get to know new people and make friends.
The group’s instructors are Kompassi volunteers.
Repetition language group
Thursdays from 12.00 to 13.00 (during the summer break 1.6.-1.9.)
In a repetition group, learning together takes place through listening and repetition. The group is especially suitable for those familiar with the Finnish language or those looking for support in the spoken language.
The group is guided by Kompassi volunteers who have been trained in the method.
Finnish language discussion circle
Fridays from 14:00 to 15:30 (during the summer break from June 17)
Information for everyday life through conversation. Every week we discuss different topics in Finnish, e.g. education, daycare for children, KELA services, housing, etc.
ATTENTION! The participant speaks and understands Finnish at least at the A2 level.
