Upon successful completion of the course, students will know the foundations of Finnish pronunciation and be able to use and understand short and simply structured Finnish expressions that concern some of the most common everyday situations (e.g. talking about themselves and their families, buying and paying, telling the time, asking simple questions and greeting others).

In cases where more students register for a course than space allows, priority is assigned as follows:

1. First priority is given to the exchange students of the University of Tampere
2. Second priority is given to the degree 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
