Here's the secret to learning how to speak Finnish
(even if you keep hearing it's "harder to learn than Mandarin Chinese")
After this e-learning bundle, you'll impress some Finns in just a couple of months and feel more comfortable with the Finnish culture.
You see, the reason why learning to speak Finnish feels like climbing Mount Everest in swimwear is because most learning resources aren't focusing on the Finnish culture and spoken Finnish.

"Dear Varpu, when I arrived to Finland I was only able to speak three words in Finnish (kiitos, kavi, pulla). So I was happy to see your online course and booked it. The structure and the lessons are excellent and easy to work with. Thanks to the course I can speak more now, maybe not everything perfect but with fun. Kiitos paljon!!!"
- Stephan, Professor in Helsinki University -
"I am not beginner for studying (maybe intermediate level) but I registered to your course and I am so happy with this registration :) I checked all of your Instagram pictures and just one thing came to my mind, If I knew this great information about Finland during 4 past years, I was so happier about my life, but it is not late, I use this great information now and enjoy my life more.
I hope I speak suomen kieli soon and my dream is to help you to teach this language to others in future with your method which is so unique. "

SMART QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE DIVING IN
I don't know how to get started with learning Finnish, what should I do?
This course is designed for beginners just like you. It helps you to keep laser-sharp focus on the things you need to know to build short sentences you will remember.
Does this course include spoken Finnish?
Yes! This course focuses on getting you to speak spoken Finnish. It's our Number One goal. You'll learn all the structures as you hear them in real life in Finland, not just the textbook version.
It works great on mobiles. You'll have access to the course across any and all devices you own. I highly recommend watching the lessons on your mobile and leveraging the idle time you have on the go.
You just need to login in and then select a class. I promise, it's super easy. I have students of all ages, some of them are well over 70. Btw, language learning is a fantastic brain exercise for any age.
I want to write and learn on paper. I don’t do digital.
I love hearing that. This course comes with printable resources, and I highly recommend that you print them out. Research shows that taking hand-written notes helps you learn better and, at the same time, you’ll have me on video explaining everything to you.
I have tried other Finnish resources and I didn’t learn anything. I’m scared I’ll fail again.
I don’t want to give a library of Finnish phrases and just to leave you venturing by yourself, getting lost and confused. Nor, do I want to stuff you to the gills with grammar systems. This course pushes you through a learning path, teaching you versatile structures that work great in spoken Finnish. Aka short adaptable sentences that you will remember.
What if this course stinks?
I’m sure you’ll find this course helpful. Thus, you'll have 30 days from the date of purchase to get a full refund if you don't like it.
Is this a monthly fee?
No. This is a one-time payment, and you get lifetime access to the course as well as its future updates. If you know a Finn, you probably know this: we warm up slowly, but once you make a Finnish friend, they’re there for life.
When does the course start and finish?
This course is a completely self-paced online course - you can start when you have the time. You'll always have instant access to all course materials.
Once you purchase this course here on Teachable (Teachable is the course platform where you'll access the lessons), you will get immediate access into the course. Also, you'll receive an email confirmation stating that you paid and my support emails with links back to this course.
Varpu, am I able to control the sound and video?
Yes. You can always speed up or slow down my speech, using the gear icon. You'll have all the normal functions with the video. Play, pause etc...
What currency is the course fee in?
The course fee is in US dollars, and you purchase the course in US dollars. It's super easy to buy at the checkout. You can use a credit card or Paypal. These companies will make the currency exchange for you after the purchase.
How much are the taxes?
The checkout will automatically identify if and how much you need to pay taxes.
What is VAT ID at the checkout?
If you have a company with a VAT ID, you can add in the ID in and get the course with 0% VAT.
