Studying Finnish in an encouraging, goal-oriented environment
Moving to Finland is a big life change. A new culture, different customs, and unfamiliar everyday practices can feel challenging at first – but with the right mindset, they also open the door to new opportunities. Strong Finnish skills are the first step toward truly feeling at home in your new environment.
I offer Finnish instruction for foreigners both as versatile online courses and as fully tailored private lessons. The focus is always on helping you use Finnish fluently in everyday life and interactive situations. At the same time, we make sure grammar rules become familiar and support your communication skills.
Finnish lessons for foreigners – online and in person
At Language Studio Luna, Finnish instruction for foreigners is always personal and learner-centered. In my versatile online courses, theory is combined with hands-on practice so you can immediately apply what you’ve learned in everyday life. In private lessons, every session is built from the ground up based on your needs, goals, and life situation.
You can study flexibly online, in person, or through a blended approach. In private lessons, we progress at a pace that works for you and focus on exercises that help you advance quickly. With a course platform membership, you’ll also practice together with other students at the same proficiency level. It’s a place to learn, gain confidence, exchange ideas – and most importantly, to start using Finnish more boldly and broadly.

Comprehensive Finnish courses and studies for foreigners
Real-life communication scenarios.
In both online courses and private lessons, we practice Finnish through everyday situations such as doctor’s visits, coffee-break chats at work, and running errands. Instead of dry textbook examples, we use plenty of colloquial language, idioms, and set phrases—so you can speak Finnish with confidence and ease.
Pronunciation and speaking practice
Finnish pronunciation can feel tricky at first, which is why we focus strongly on speaking. We practice real conversations rather than simply repeating textbook dialogues. With clear and natural pronunciation, your message comes across effortlessly.
Language and culture go hand in hand
In the courses and private lessons you’ll learn not just vocabulary and sentence structures, but also how and why different expressions fit Finnish interaction styles. Through practical examples, you’ll discover which phrases work best in various contexts, what sounds polite to Finnish ears, and when it’s appropriate to use humor in conversation.
Studies tailored to your personal goals
Need personal guidance? Choose private lessons, where every session is designed to support your growth and confidence as a Finnish speaker. Prefer flexible, affordable study with other learners at a similar level? Then a membership in the versatile online course is the perfect choice!
