Do you already know the basics of Finnish and are ready to take the next big step towards fluency?
You've come to the right place.
The Ultimate Guide to REAL Finnish 2 is for you if you ALREADY KNOW the basic grammar rules; consonant gradation, the genetive, partitive, location cases, present tense verb conjugation for all verb types...
If you don't know about these yet, the Ultimate Guide 1 should be your first step.
''This course is different! It's exactly what I was looking for.''
''I always wanted to speak with Finns in everyday life and I wanted to understand real conversations. But whenever I started a Finnish course, it was based on written language. This course is different! It is the first that puts spoken language in the center from the first chapter until the end. It is exactly what I was looking for. Although you do it on your own, Sabrin encourages you all the time to speak Finnish by starting conversations and asking questions. I learned so many things that I could not learn from any "traditional" textbook. This way, learning Finnish is real fun!''

As the course material
we will be using ''Your Ultimate Guide to REAL Finnish'' e-book written by me, which is a spoken language textbook with 11 chapters and 367 pages.
The first six chapters were covered in ''The Ultimate Guide to REAL Finnish 1'', and in this course we will be covering the last five. Read about Guide 1
When purchasing the course, you will get the book FREE of charge, my gift to you.
You can pay for the course in installments.
59.99€ per month for 5 months will buy you a lifetime access to the course and learning community. If you minus the price of the textbook (60€) that I will gift you when you purchase the course, you will basically only be paying 4 x 59.99€ for the course.
Now that's what I, call a deal.
Course Curriculum
''Nothing seemed to work - until I discovered Sabrin's perfect courses.''
''I’ve been learning Finnish on my own for many years. With friends, and I’ve gone through different instructors, various courses and teachers, but it wasn’t that. Nothing seemed to work. 😬 Then I discovered Sabrin’s courses - and they are perfect. I have learnt so much on ''The Ultimate Guide to REAL Finnish 2''. She explains everything so well, the topics are interesting and relevant. She presents both kirjakieli and puhekieli perfectly. I highly recommend her and her courses!''

Daniele, YKI-student
"Sabrin's Italki classes played a key role in my success with the YKI test (I passed on my first attempt!). Her strategic use of the "Ykäänkö vai Ykiinkö" book for speaking practice was crucial in boosting my confidence, helping me build vocabulary across all test sections. Her chill vibe and solid knowledge of YKI made the learning experience enjoyable and effective. She also tailored the classes to be student-driven, which to me is very important as learning Finnish is not a "one size fits all" journey. Highly recommend!"
Gayle, Conversation student
''It was with a good deal of nervousness that I approached Sabrin for a trial conversation session; I had studied Finnish grammar but had very little experience speaking the language. To my amazement, the time passed very quickly because our session, like all subsequent sessions, was engaging, fun, and helpful. Sabrin immediately puts you at your ease. She has a relaxed and very good-natured approach which is supported by a deep knowledge of both grammar and spoken language and the ability to explain things with clarity, humor, and good examples. I have always felt more like I was talking with a friend or a friendly acquaintance than with a teacher. She is patient, smart, funny, sympathetic. Highly recommended!''
Catherine, Grammar student
''Sabrin is a fun and engaging teacher. I am enjoying learning with her because she teaches at the pace that is right for me, and the lessons have the perfect amount of structure. I feel like I am learning Finnish I will be able to use in daily life thanks to her focus on spoken Finnish, and her emphasis on speaking skills means I am progressing quickly. I would highly recommend Sabrin if you are looking for a teacher who adapts to your needs while giving you a solid language basis, and who teaches Finnish that you can apply straight away.''
FAQ
''I'm a total beginner. Which course is best for me?''
''The Ultimate Guide To REAL Finnish 1'' is for total beginners and beginners. It starts from total zero and takes you step-by-step to having real conversations with Finns! I recommend combining it with ''Learn REAL Finnish by Listening'' for best results.
''Can I pay for the course in parts?''
Yes - you can pay for the course in installments 59.99€/month for 5 months. You don't need Klarna for that!
''What will I learn in this course?''
You will get the tools to speak REAL Finnish in all tenses, learn to understand Finns and to speak like one. I recommend reading the full course curriculum above for more detailed description!
''What if I don't like the course?''
Don't worry, you can try it risk-free. All my courses come with a 14-day money back guarantee.
''I know so much in written language, but my previous course didn't cover spoken language at all. What do you recommend?''
Oh no! That's a very common issue, and actually the whole reason why I ever started creating my courses. But don't worry, it's never too late to change the course. I recommend you to take ''The Ultimate Guide To REAL Finnish'' (1 or 2 depending on your level) - there you will learn all the rules you have already learned, but this time in spoken Finnish. It might sound boring to re-learn stuff you already know, but trust me - it's amazing for finally memorizing them and you'll be speaking Finnish so much more fluently after that.
''Why should I choose this course over all the others out there?''
I would say the main reason to choose my courses are that the focus is on spoken Finnish, while still not compromising on the structure. You will learn all grammar in both spoken and written Finnish which will give you the tools to both having conversations with Finns as well as passing exams. Also, even though this is a pre-recorded course, I built it to be as close to live lessons as possible - so it feels like we're actually together for all the conversations we will be having!
Another thing that no other course has, me as a teacher!😁
''Will this course help me to pass YKI-test?''
Short answer - YES. And did you know, that you can totally be speaking puhekieli in YKI-test as well!?
Long answer - yes, but this ALONE will not make you pass the test. There's so much vocabulary that needs to be known for passing YKI, that no regular course alone will be enough. I recommend practising at JYU-website and taking one-on-one YKI-prep classes with me to really get there.

''I want to learn Finnish FAST. What do you recommend?''
First of all - I want to stress that there is no fast way to learn a language - especially not one of the most difficult ones in the world. BUT.. There are shortcuts.
I recommend you what I like to call ''The Key to Fluency with Finnish''. It is the combination of my two courses ''The Ultimate Guide To REAL Finnish'' (1 or 2) and ''Learn REAL Finnish by Listening''. This combination is designed to make you learn Finnish fast while still enjoying the process. It's the perfect combination of structure, spoken Finnish and listening & speaking practise. You don't know how much you needed it until you try it!
''How long do I have access to the course?''
This is the best part... You will have a lifetime access to both the course and the learning community. So if you don't have time for it now or next month or even next year - don't worry! You can learn whenever and wherever suits you best.
''When and where is the course?''
It's a pre-recorded course, so whenever and wherever you'd like!
''I don't speak English very well. Are there translations available?''
Yes! All my Finnish courses have AI-generated translations currently in Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Russian and Ukrainian.
