University of Kuopio Language Centre Survival Finnish is recommended for short-term exchange students and others who only need to learn some basic Finnish for everyday situations. If you intend to continue your studies after the beginners’ level, you should start with Finnish 1. Finnish studies consist of four general courses and three advanced courses focusing on different language skills as well as Language Partners. Courses Finnish 1 - 5 form the core of Finnish studies: after completing these courses you will be familiar with the basic structure of the Finnish language.
