L2 Finnish Counsellor gives support for linguistic challenges during studies. The counselling is especially for those students who study in Finnish but Finnish is not their mother language. Do some study assignments seem difficult because of Finnish language? Do you find it hard and slow to study or write a thesis because of the language? Do you wonder whether your Finnish language skills are sufficient for the requirements of studies and working life?
- Contact and book an appointment from Maija Tervola (maija.tervola [at] tuni.fi), University Instructor in the Finnish Language and Culture study module. The counselling meetings can be organised face-to-face or via Teams or telephone.
