July 31 – Aug 3, 2025
Duluth, MN

Spend all-day Thursday (9 AM to 3 PM) immersed in speaking and learning more about the Finnish language. Lunch included.

Learning Finnish can be fun! This class will start with the basics of Finnish greetings and short memorized phrases. We will then  branch out to conjugating verbs and creating simple sentences and questions,  so that we can spend time creating conversations about who we are and what we like to do. The day will be lots of variety, movement, songs, games, simple conversations, and repetition to help us learn the language–while having fun.
