Tucked away in one of the northernmost locales in the world, a dreamy oasis awaits. With five million native speakers in Finland and beyond, learning Finnish is your all-access pass to this stunning Nordic country. In the Land of a Thousand Lakes, anything is possible. Jet off to Lapland for a night hike under the Midnight Sun, unwind with locals in a Finnish sauna, or spend the day shopping, wining, and dining in Helsinki. Find your inner Finn and retreat to a wooded lakeside cottage for a summer getaway, or take a winter holiday to the slopes, skiing among the country’s sweeping snowy pines and 188,000 frozen lakes. To know Finland is to love it, and you’ll quickly find yourself falling for the country’s untouched nature, rich history, and kind, sincere people. Learn Suomi (Finnish) and the magic of Finland will unfold right before your eyes.
