Skype Finnish lessons

You don't need much to learn Finnish with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

• Hardware:
  • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
  • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
  • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
  • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
• Software:
  • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
  • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
  • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in Finnish.

We are rated as Excellent on Trustpilot and have been featured in the WebUser Language Awards and the Times Online.

Our platform can help you achieve success in official Finnish language proficiency exams by connecting you to experienced native teachers. We provide a personalized learning experience tailored to each student's needs, utilizing cutting-edge video conferencing tools for immersive, real-time lessons that fully engage learners in Finnish. Our native instructors are experts in the language's complexities and the specific requirements of proficiency exams, offering comprehensive guidance in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

To address the most challenging aspects of these exams, our language programs are specifically designed to focus on areas that require the most attention. Whether you’re preparing for the Yleiset kielitutkinnot (YKI) or other official Finnish language tests, our teachers create individualized lesson plans that align with the particular formats and expectations of each exam. Students benefit from rigorous grammar exercises, vocabulary expansion, and practice tests that simulate real exam conditions. Additionally, our instructors provide crucial insights into Finnish cultural nuances and idiomatic expressions, ensuring students are thoroughly equipped to pass their exams and communicate effectively in Finnish.

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in Finnish takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Finnish classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
