What is the course about?

  • The form

    First we'll learn the form for each tense. It takes a little practice, but it's worth it!

  • The use

    This is where you'll learn the context in which different tenses are used. I've got good news - Finnish and English tenses have a lot of similarities!

  • Practise

    The course contains interactive exercises that you can complete whenever, wherever, as many times as you want.

  • Community

    The closed online community on Slack is a great way for students and the instructor to chat about the course content.

  • Q&A Webinars

    Live webinars give you a chance to ask me anything about the course and practise what you've been learning.
