Learn Finnish

 

Learning the Finnish language alone is daunting. We recommend you attend one of the following Finnish language schools located in cities around Australia to meet fellow curious minds.

If you are unable to attend one of these locations there are plenty more ways you can learn the Finnish language in all its glory, be it books(Link to another website.) or apps(Link to another website.).  Looking for something more to sink your teeth into, enroll in a free online course for basic Finnish(Link to another website.) developed by the University of Helsinki. If all else fails, there is only one option left, booking a trip to Finland.
