Finnish language lessons and groups offered by Kompassi are open to everyone and free of charge. All the teachings take place at Kompassi.
Please remember:
As Kompassi’s open and free classes get many students and we have limited seats…
- the system works on first come first served basis.
- the classroom door opens at 13.30. The door will close once the classroom is full.
- there is no registration to the classes. We do not reserve seats. Your seat is not automatically booked to you, if you attend the class once or twice.
- number of students allowed in the classroom is mentioned below in the schedule.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Let’s read together – Finnish language teaching
Tuesdays from 14:00-16:00
Number of students in the classroom: 40 max
We study and learn to speak and write Finnish in small groups (1-3 people together with an instructor). In the group, we study Finnish language through books, listening, speaking, and with the help of newspapers and articles. The participant’s progression takes place according to their own starting level and wishes.
Children are also welcome in the small group. By learning in small groups you get to know new people and make friends.
The group’s instructors are Kompassi volunteers.
