The course is held entirely online; the learning platform used is Peda.net. You will get a weekly learning plan including various exercises and one assignment on which you will get feedback from the teacher. To participate you need a computer with an internet connection. The course content is the same as on the corresponding course in spring 2025. There are no real-time online meetings on this course; you can study when it suits you best.

This December revision course is suitable for you if you have studied, for example, the textbooks Suomen mestari 1-3, and have reached level B1.1 in Finnish. The course strengthens previously acquired language skills by reviewing grammar structures and vocabulary, and by practicing the use of Finnish in both spoken and written form. The course will be held entirely online using the Zoom video conferencing platform. To participate, you need a computer with internet access, a microphone or headset, and a camera.
