Looking for Suomi study group in Helsinki

Post by expattern » Tue Jan 04, 2011 1:33 pm

Hi. I am a 32yo web designer from the US (Atlanta, GA). I'm married to a Fin and I have 2 daughters.

I'm posting this message because I'm looking for a Suomi study group to join. I'm also interested in starting one if needed. I can say that I'm still at or near the beginner level. I can count to 100. I'm capable of putting together and understanding some basic sentences and my vocabulary is about 1000 words at most (based on the progress that I've made with flash cards). Like many others, my grammar needs some serious working on to say the least :lol: . I think i would be fun to get together with other beginners to exchange some advise and learn from each other.

If anyone would like to invite new members into their study group or is interested in starting one, shoot me a private message!

P.S. I'm only interested in groups the Helsinki area.

Thanks!

There is also a table for Finnish learners at the event.
The event is free of charge but because the venue is a pub you must of course buy something.
