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!''
Ori, ''The Key To Fluency'' (Ultimate Guide + Learn By Listening) student

Michelle, Grammar student
''I was so nervous when I first decided to look for a tutor to help me progress in Finnish. I knew I was looking for someone who would be patient and kind as I went on this journey to learn a new language. Two years later, I’m so thankful to have Sabrin as my tutor. During our lessons, I never feel insecure about making mistakes and she makes learning the language fun (even at six in the morning 😆) If you’re looking for a supportive, fun, and knowledgeable tutor, look no further.''
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.''
Peter, Grammar & Conversation student
"I've been told, if you want to learn a language, you must speak a language. Well, how can I speak a language I don't know? In just the same way a child learns to speak. It needs a caring, patient parent. I needed to have someone take me by the hand and guide me. I needed a teacher who would help me with the mistakes I was bound to make, while giving me the confidence I needed to speak the language. This priceless gift is what I received from Sabrin. Her guidance is invaluable. She has taken me by the hand and walked me through the challenges of language learning. She is kind, tough, smart and insightful. All the things I looked for in a teacher. But most of all she cares about my progress. Every time I now have a conversation with someone in Finnish, I silently say to myself, thank you Sabrin! I'm so glad I found you!"

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 3 months. You don't need Klarna for that!
''What will I learn in this course?''
You will get to learn Finnish in a natural way, like a child does - by listening! It's great for the lazy days, when you don't feel like studying. Or maybe grammar just isn't your cup of tea, or maybe you just need to practise your listening skills! You will learn REAL spoken Finnish, and you will learn it while having fun and without realizing it. You will have transcripts for the videos in puhekieli, kirjakieli and English, so you will learn to understand the differences between spoken and written Finnish. You will learn to understand Finns & to speak like one, and you will learn to speak Finnish with ease and without having to think so much!
''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.

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.

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!

It's a pre-recorded course, so whenever and wherever you'd like!
