Fluent Finnish! Spring 2025 is a hybrid training, which you can participate either in Joensuu or remotely.
Surviving in a new language and cultural environment requires some kind of language skills, even if the working language is something other than Finnish. Language coaching increases commitment to the company and the region by giving the opportunity to strengthen Finnish language skills.
You can participate in joint coaching, allowing you to network with employees from other organizations while learning the Finnish language and culture under the guidance of our professionals.
Fluent Finnish! –after language training learners master:
- common basic verbs in everyday communication, conjugation and use of verbs
- basic asking and answering questions
- the parts of speech that are needed in inflecting the Finnish language

After the language training, employees can start a conversation at the coffee table in their own work communities about general topics, such as hobbies, weather or family, and ask about their co-worker's plans for the coming weekend, as well as answer questions they are asked about everyday life.
