hello,

I have moved to Finland and I am looking for a basic courses in Finnish language. I have a residence permit and i also have an integration plan in which i will be offered courses. The thing is that it will only start by May 2009 as there are lot of ppl already in queue

so meanwhile if there are courses offered by some schools then I can start with elementary things. i am fine with full time as well as evening classes. Please help.

Thanks,
Shweta

One can always start learning a language on his own. Like I did. At first I started with online courses to get the base, the elementary things and now I'm in a course (i live in my home country) and I am doing very well. Start helping yourself at the beginning, + when you live in a place where the language is spoken it will be even easier

You could check e.g. from http://www.infopankki.fi/ (see under the section "Finnish Language"...and choose "Helsinki" under the heading "Local information" - it gives you the further choice of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen)

I'm not sure if the organisation of the site is exactly the same in all languages, so if you use others than English, you may need to browse a bit.
