About the courses

Our Suomea Sairaalaympäristössä courses are tailored to help doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and interns deepen their knowledge of the Finnish healthcare system.
The curriculum helps students internalize grammar, spoken and written language, medical terminology, as well as improve interaction skills. These features make Suomea sairaalaympäristössä a genuinely engaging and collaborative environment to learn one of the most challenging languages, Finnish.

All of our three online courses includes reading, speaking, listening, and writing exercises as well as information about Finland and Finnish culture. During online lessons, you will talk and learn Finnish with the guidance of a Finnish teacher in the virtual classroom with other students. All necessary grammar and vocabulary materials will be available on the learning platform for you to practice anytime.

In our Finnish language courses, you’ll find videos of fundamental language use which help you to learn Finnish faster and easier. Most of the exercises are self-correcting, but there are also exercises that are corrected and commented on by a teacher. Most of the reading materials are in the form of a dialogue, to make the language use as authentic as possible. In the advanced and professional courses, you will find more formal texts and information regarding operating models used in the Finnish healthcare sector.

Along with a collection of extra materials about the Finnish language and culture, you will effortlessly spend a minimum of 8 hours a week learning Finnish.
