Learn Finnish by singing – join the spring semester course!

On this course we activate speaking, listening, pronunciation and vocabulary of the Finnish language through singing and music. Participants can also make their own lyrics and translate their favourite songs or poems into Finnish.

Learn Finnish by Singing (2 cr) is suited for anyone who has completed the Finnish 1 course (skill level min. A1.2). You don’t have to be a singer: everybody can sing and the main focus on the course is learning to use Finnish in practice.
