Finnish for Foreigners

[Mook]

The time of the year has come to register for a Finnish course for the Autumn.

I'm considering doing Suomi 2 at the university, but I understand that the courses are quite popular and that registration is a bit of a scrum.

Does anyone know how likely am I to get on it? Without queuing for hours before registration opens.

I have another option that's a little more expensive, but I can book it in advance.

I think somebody posted here recently that you can register by fax or email...

Possibly worth a phone call to check.

Ah, must pay more attention. It was this thread

My company is going to pay, so I had someone phone up this morning, but the only suggested registration method was "in person", or by sending a proxy.

The literature I have says that registration is on the 13th or 14th of September (depending on the course) between 16:30 and 18:30

Incidentally, I have the Kieli Käytöön (the blue one) for sale in mint condition if anyone wants to buy it off of me.

If anyone is interested pm me.

If I don't sell it, I may get motivated to take yet another Finnish course...

you should be through that in something like 100 hours....

the kuopio suomi 2 course says 50 hours previous study. and the registration is also via email..
the suomi3 one runs through to the end of the year and then in the new year suomi4 starts...is it also like this in helsinki??

i can also recommend the "from start to finnish" book from leila white, but some stuff is really strangely explained; it could be done considerably more concisely. but it's generally good.
