Finnish American Heritage Center to offer Finnish language classes

HANCOCK -- As part of its community outreach program, Finlandia University’s Finnish American Heritage Center (FAHC) is pleased to announce that a pair of Finnish language courses will begin in early November.

Kaisa Randolph will be teaching a continuation of her Finnish class from last spring; the course is also open to new students who have some knowledge of Finnish. That class begins at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the FAHC.

For people with no prior Finnish language skills, or for those looking to re-learn the basics of the language, Hannu Leppanen will teach a beginning Finnish language course at the FAHC. This class gets under way at 5:30 p.m on Nov. 10 at the Finnish American Heritage Center. Each class meets for about one hour per week. There will be several sessions this fall, with a break for the holidays; and then classes will resume in January and continue through April. There is a $100 charge for either class. Advance registration is appreciated.
