Finnish course / school in Tampere

Post by Viharo » Sun Jun 15, 2008 9:07 pm

Hi,

Sorry if I am posting in a wrong section, somehow couldn't decide which would it fit the most.
A friend of mine is pondering opening a school for foreigners to study Finnish and he has asked me if there is any point in opening one in Tampere.
I mean there is already quite the competition: Onnenkieli, Helena Suominen, TAKK.
To tell you the truth I am a bit lost with it, so I thought I might ask all of you for your opinions.

Basic idea was to offer the school services to employment office, however he has also thought about focusing on people, who are already working, but would still like to learn the language, or on people that for some reason do not manage to get to courses through employment office.
Other idea, my friend suggested, was some more advanced course for those who have gone through "jatkokurssi" and would want to study more.
What do you think of that?
Is it worth starting, what would be your expectations towards such and also what would be appropriate "fee" from the point of view of a student?
You can reply here, PM me.

Thank you a lot for your help :)

I'm working in Tampere and know the basics of Finnish but I'd like to learn more.
The main points would be the schedule of the lessons (not too late, ideally just after work, maybe around 5pm) and the prices (max 6euros/h for group lessons).
Hope this helped!
