FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
WHO CAN TAKE PART in FAMILIA'S FINNISH LANGUAGE COURSES?
Familia's Finnish language courses are primarily aimed at people who have a Finnish spouse who want to learn and develop their Finnish language skills under the guidance of professional teachers. The courses take into account the opportunities offered by the Finnish-speaking spouse and close circle to support the study of the Finnish language. The teaching also takes into account the student's everyday language use needs and interactions.
Spouses who speak Finnish as their mother tongue are expected to play an active role and be motivated, for example, by participating in homework and meetings in addition to the course. Aside from learning the language, both the student and the Finnish spouse receives peer support and can network with others who are in the same life situation. Familia's course offerings are the only Finnish language courses that take into account the everyday life of multicultural families in terms of content and teaching atmosphere.
