Christine Koskimaki Attalai –
Finnish A2
For many years, I have wanted to learn to speak, understand, read and write Finnish. Being able to learn the Finnish language online with Tara is helping me to fulfill that wish. The learning atmosphere in our online class is friendly and positive. Finnish is not the easiest language to learn, but our homework assignments include crosswords, games, listening to songs and news stories, as well as grammar exercises and
writing e-mails. As my vocabulary has increased, I find that I am able to understand much more written and spoken Finnish than I did a year ago. I look forward to taking the next class, and further improving my skills.

Fun with learning
The on-line training is a friendly space and just the right mixture of Finnish and English (only when necessary)
The training is fun and always encoraging
