Yksi kahvi, kiitos! Dare to speak Finnish as a Finnish learner
Speaking Finnish in authentic situations is a highly efficient way to improve your speaking skills. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but there is no shortcut to fluency. The sooner you start, the sooner you will get there.
Mitä eroa on kielikoulutuksella ja kielivalmennuksella?
Kielikoulutus on kielitaidon aktivointia, kielivalmennus on kokonaisvaltaisempaa tukea kielen oppimiseen.
Rallienglanti on tosi jees
Ole ylpeä aksentistasi ja avaa suusi (ralli)englanniksi. Is it time?
Voiko englantia oppia aikuisena, jos koulussa kielet eivät sujuneet?
Englannin opiskelun voi aikuisena aina aloittaa uudelleen, tai pikemminkin jatkaa siitä, mihin on jäänyt.

What is the difference between training and coaching?
Language training develops practical speaking, writing, vocabulary and grammar skills. Coaching also addresses barriers to learning, study habits and speaking anxiety.
Do I already need to speak the language well?
No. Private lessons and coaching are tailored to your starting level and goals. We’ll discuss your needs in the first conversation.
Where do language training and language coaching take place?
Language training and language coaching take place online on Zoom.
