Our native-speaking qualified Finnish teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
Finnish lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Finnish - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Finnish usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Finnish classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Finnish culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Finnish.
These Finnish lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Finnish to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Finnish, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
The Finnish lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Finnish Lesson or Small Group In-Company Finnish Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster Finnish Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
