Are you desperately wanting to learn to understand Finns, and sick of all the textbooks and courses just teaching you the written language?
You've come to the right place.
Most Finnish teachers and courses will teach you kirjakieli, the written language of Finnish, even though us Finns don't actually speak that way. You will see kirjakieli in books, magazines and the news, but you will not hear Finns speaking it. You might spend years of learning kirjakieli, and never actually understand Finns. I don't see the point of learning a language that nobody speaks, so I've taken it as my mission to teach puhekieli, the spoken language of Finnish to all Finnish learners, to have you finally understanding Finns - and to speak like one.
In all my courses and lessons you will be learning the REAL Finnish, the spoken language, which will take your Finnish to a whole new level.
''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!''

''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!''

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. In this course we will cover the first 6 chapters, and the last chapters will be covered in ''The Ultimate Guide to REAL Finnish 2'', which will be out later this year.
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.

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!"
Betany, Conversation student
''I've had the pleasure of learning Finnish from Sabrin for over two years now, and I can confidently say that she is a skilled educator. What truly sets her apart is her focus on teaching Finnish puhekieli (spoken language) right from the beginning. This practical approach has been invaluable to me, as it has allowed me to gain confidence in conversational Finnish and effectively communicate in real-life situations.
One of the things I appreciate most about Sabrin is her ability to make learning fun and engaging. Her lessons have kept me motivated and excited to learn more.
Moreover, Sabrin is incredibly reliable. She consistently shows up prepared and ready to guide me through each lesson with patience and encouragement. Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your Finnish skills, she is the perfect guide on your language-learning journey.''
Maryam, Grammar student
''Studying with Sabrin has been one of the best experiences for me.
As a medical doctor, I need to learn the Finnish language to start working in Finland at an advanced level, She is highly focused and proficient in teaching Finnish. She knows the references well and utilizes them effectively. Sabrin is very friendly and warm, accurately identifies the student's strengths and weaknesses, and provides exercises related to them. She is flexible and plans the lesson according to the student's wishes and needs. While she is very serious, she teaches with great dynamism and cheerfulness. She makes every effort to provide suitable timing according to the student's schedule, and I feel her support and presence throughout the language learning journey. I strongly recommend her for learning Finnish.''
