Finnish for Hard of Hearing Foreigners

This course is for you, if you have impaired hearing capacity!

At the course we study Finnish in a small group with a teacher who articulates clearly and uses a lot of visual aids such as pictures, text and sign language in order to make the learning more easier for you. You will learn also Finnish sign language and improve your knowledge about Finnish culture, working life and society. Our curriculum is based on the National core curriculum for integration training by the Finnish National Agency for Education and includes sign language, Finnish culture and society studies.

This course is for you if you have problems to study with hearing people and you don’t want to study with deaf people either.

If you have some additional hearing equipments, they are taken into consideration while studying but we don’t offer you any equipments. We try to plan your studies together with you so that you learn as much as possible. If you already have some equipments, please mark them on the registration form when you sign up.
