For more advanced courses, I resort to Helsinki Seudun\u00a0Kes\u00e4yliopisto\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kesayliopistohki.fi\/en\/kurssit\/kategoria\/finnish-courses-en\/basic-intensive-finnish-en-70101\/?show=future\">https:\/\/www.kesayliopistohki.fi\/en\/kurssit\/kategoria\/finnish-courses-en\/basic-intensive-finnish-en-70101\/?show=future<\/a>)\u00a0which offers a wide range of language courses for adults all year round.\u00a0These courses are often held at Haaga-Helia\u00a0conveniently\u00a0located next to the Pasila train station.\u00a0 The courses are intensive\u00a0usually finishing up in a month sprint, which expects\u00a0more after-class studying from\u00a0participants.\u00a0If you are working, it may feel a bit demanding to keep up.\u00a0Grammar course costs 110euro.\u00a0Speaking course is shorter and cheaper costing 90 euro.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m taking a second course from there now and really like the\nteach Jaako Kaunisto. He says that Finnish is not difficult, there are just\nexceptions and there are reasons behind each exception. Don&#8217;t keep telling\nyourself that Finnish is difficult.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefit of knowing\u00a0the language\u00a0while living in Finland\u00a0is just self-evident, especially after you have family.\u00a0There is every reason to learn it.\u00a0After finishing the gramma course, I also intend to take some speaking course. I believe I\u2019m on the right track this time!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/nordicbrilliance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/02\/Suomi-mestari-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Suomi mestari picture\" class=\"wp-image-562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/nordicbrilliance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/02\/Suomi-mestari-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/nordicbrilliance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/02\/Suomi-mestari-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/nordicbrilliance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/02\/Suomi-mestari-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/nordicbrilliance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/02\/Suomi-mestari-1568x1176.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/nordicbrilliance\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/02\/Suomi-mestari.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to ask me anything about studying Finnish or studying at Hanken &#8211; just drop me a line to <a href=\"yang.yang@student.hanken.fi\">yang.yang@student.hanken.fi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being in Finland for such a long time, I finally find the time to pick up my Finnish.
