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.

In this intermediate Finnish seminar, we will learn how to use Finnish in speaking about both the urban and natural environment. We will explore new vocabulary about cities and nature and practice grammar constructions to use when speaking about location. Students who are at least able to make basic sentences and have some foundational knowledge of Finnish would most benefit from this class.

Instructor: Lily Obeda

After beginning to study Finnish at 15 years old, she went on to live and study in Oulu, Jyväskylä, and Nokia before returning to her roots in Minnesota. She loves sharing the joy of Finnish language and culture with others through active participation… and terrible puns.
