Study with me! 

Here are my upcoming courses and self-study materials. Lämpimästi tervetuloa, a warm welcome!

Tuutsä mukaan? A course on spoken Finnish pronunciation.

August to October 2026

Would you like speak Finnish more confidently? 

Pronunciation and spoken language are the key to speaking fluent Finnish in everyday life, and this course has both!

Finnish courses are traditionally heavy in grammar, and pronunciation, spoken language, listening and speaking can often get neglected. We are here to change that with Tuutsä mukaan, a course that will really help you with what often matters most – understanding what you hear and making yourself understood. 

Teachers: Päivi Virkkunen and Mari Nikonen

Time: Wednesdays at 19:00-20:00 Finnish time.

Early bird prices:

147 €, including VAT 25,5 %, when you sign up by 1 May

197 €, including VAT 25,5 %, when you sign up by 5 July

Regular price: 247 €, including VAT 25,5 %

YKI preparation

My self-study courses, Steps towards YKI: Writing and Steps towards YKI: Speaking, are available on demand – study at your own pace whenever works best for you, with tried and tested materials.

I am not organizing the interactive parts of the courses at the moment, and feedback for you work is not included in the course price at the moment. Because of this, the self-study versions of the course are available for a special price.

Our book YKIä kohti is designed to help you prepare for all four parts of the YKI test. Audio and solutions for listening and reading are included in the price of the book.
