Let’s talk about why learning Finnish and learning about Finland – and Oulu in particular – are important, both in the short term, and especially if you are thinking of staying longer and putting down roots here.
Our guest speaker Anne Koskela is the leading Finnish as a second language teacher at the University of Oulu. Anne will provide information about the Finnish course offerings available at the University of Oulu for both students and staff and give some insight into the course contents. What is the connection between these courses and local life in Oulu and/or working in Finland?
Our other speaker is David Delahunty who is originally from Ireland and has lived in Finland for over 20 years. He will share his experiences about learning Finnish, and his insights concerning what to do, and what not to do with regards to learning Finnish.
