Finnish by the campfire
Get to know each other, share stories and practise asking, offering and responding. Coffee or a shared snack can give the conversation a practical setting.

A private workshop · Adapted to your level · Dates by agreement
Learn together, in your own group
For learners, teams and curious groups.
Bring your Finnish class, an international workplace team or a group of friends. The activities, route and pace are planned around your group’s language skills and wishes.
Beginners get useful model phrases and support. More experienced speakers practise explaining, giving reasons and keeping a conversation going. Tommi helps you use Finnish throughout the day.
Choose the setting for your day
Three ways to start a conversation.
A walk to the forest shelter
Follow a route together, describe what you notice and give directions in Finnish. Pair activities and a pause at the shelter leave room for questions and conversation.
Käännytäänkö tästä vasemmalle?
Shall we turn left here?A cabin day in Finnish
Plan something together, divide tasks and explain what to do next. Cabin life brings everyday vocabulary, Finnish culture and shared decisions into the same conversation.
Mitä tehdään seuraavaksi?
What shall we do next?
