LEARN FINNISH

Video: Back to (the Finnish) school!

How to address the teacher? What kind of lesson is S2? How to communicate through Wilma? Finnish teacher Jenni Turunen explains everything you need to know if you have school-age children in Finland

A new school year will start soon. The first school day is always exciting, especially for first graders and their families.

If you have children in a Finnish school, you probably know quite a lot about the Finnish educational system. But there may be some vocabulary and practices that cause confusion.

What is lukujärjestys? How to address the teacher? What kind of lesson is S2? Who or what is Wilma?

In this video I will teach you some basic vocabulary about Finnish school. I hope it helps you communicate better with teachers.

I wish a good start for a new school year for all students and families!
