Easy Living - Services for Smoother Living in Finland

Finnish Language Courses

We understand the challenges immigrants face when moving to a new country. One of the critical obstacles often encountered is the language barrier, which can impact their ability to find work and integrate into society. Recognizing this, we have partnered with Arffman, the largest trainer of adult immigrants in Finland, to offer comprehensive language services to those relocating here. Since 1999, Arffman has been delivering immigrant training programs across Finland.  

One of these language services is an online Finnish language course. This course is designed to take students from beginner to basic language skill level (A2) in just a few months. The flexibility of the online format allows participants to join lessons from any location, using any device, and at any skill level.

The course provides the following:

• Real-time instruction: At the beginner level, live online classes are held three times a week in a small group setting, increasing to five times a week at other levels.
• Guided independent study: Twice a week, students have the opportunity for independent study using Suomi-hubi materials.
• Flexibility and convenience: Participants can access study materials on their own devices without any need for additional purchases or commutes.
• Personalized learning path: Students can start at their own level, ranging from Beginner to Advanced.

The course covers a wide range of topics, including personal and social life, housing, everyday activities, society, nature and environment, hobbies, health and wellbeing, and work life and education. The teaching is organized in cycles, allowing students to join at any time and move between skill levels according to their own abilities.

Cultural Trainings

Cultural understanding is a cornerstone of successful international relocation and integration. We recognize the importance of cultural training for both the individuals moving to Finland and the local teams welcoming these newcomers.

Cultural Training for Incoming Talent

For those moving to Finland, we offer comprehensive cultural training programs designed to ease the transition. Our programs provide in-depth insights into Finnish society, customs, and work culture, helping individuals understand and navigate their new environment. Participants learn about local etiquette, communication styles, and societal values, which are key to building successful personal and professional relationships.

Cultural Training for Local Teams

Welcoming a new member from a different culture into your team can be an enriching experience, but it can also come with challenges. To facilitate smooth integration, we provide cultural training to local teams. This training fosters understanding and appreciation of the new member’s culture, encourages open communication, and equips the team with strategies to overcome potential cultural barriers.

Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive environment that values diversity and promotes mutual respect and understanding. This approach ensures that everyone, whether new to Finland or welcoming newcomers, can work harmoniously and productively together.
