Beginner II Finnish language

What you’ll learn

By the end of the first semester, students will be able to understand written and spoken sentences and frequently used expressions—such as those related to family, locations, and everyday life.

The course also introduces the Finnish language from a structural perspective. Students will explore key grammatical concepts including the partitive case, sentence types, and location-based expressions, which serve as the foundation for more complex communication.
