A new course: Read 'Ei kertonut katuvansa' in easy Finnish

Here's something that I've wanted to try out for a while:

  • A Finnish course where we only read and write
  • A course that is early in the morning
  • A course where we'll read a novel in easy Finnish


    How does it work?


    • We'll read one easy Finnish novel in one month. 
    • We'll meet on Google Docs twice a week for 30 minutes at a time. At 7.00 in the morning. (Finnish time, UTC+2)
    • We'll never see or hear each other. (Ok, I will organize a video chat afterwards, but you don't have to come if you don't want to.)
    • We'll communicate through writing.
    • You can come and go as you want to, and you can read the notes and conversations afterwards, if you miss a class.
    • You can be as active or as passive as you want, and you can be completely anonymous, if you want to. 
    • Katso video, jolla kerron kurssista suomeksi: https://youtu.be/hiGc34D2c5E

    We'll read Ei kertonut katuvansa by Tommi Kinnunen.
