Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to use and understand simply structured Finnish expressions that concern some of the most common everyday matters (location and moving, using the imperative, requesting, state of health). Students will also be able to describe some of the most important things about themselves, their families and their immediate surroundings, and understand descriptions given about such topics. In addition, students will be able to give accounts of events belonging to the past time, and understand corresponding accounts.

1. First priority is given to the degree students of the University of Tampere.
2. Second priority is given to the exchange students of the University of Tampere.
3. Third priority is given to the Tampere3 students and to the high school students of the UTA Teacher Training School.
