The best part about living in Los Angeles is...

Without a doubt, the diversity of cultures, nationalities, and languages, and the opportunities that rise from such cultural richness. It feels as though the whole world is represented here.

Recommend a place to visit where Finnish is the native language, and tell us why you like it.

The only place in the world where Finnish is spoken as the native language is Finland. So if you want to fully immerse yourself in Finnish, you'll have to travel to Finland! The capital of Helsinki is a wonderful city to start your Finnish experience with: it's an international city, but its distinctive culture, nature, architecture, culinary scene, and relaxed atmosphere make it a profoundly Finnish place. But be warned; Finns speak excellent English and switching to it comes naturally to them, so you will have to tell them that you would prefer to get the full Finnish language treatment!

What Finnish film or musical artist do you recommend students watch or listen to?

I would recommend the movies by the Finnish auteur/ filmmaker, Aki Kaurismäki. His films are quirky and minimalistic, funny and humane, and quintessentially Finnish. His latest film, 'The Other Side of Hope' (2016), not only takes place in Helsinki, but also is painfully and beautifully current because of its subject matter.

What most surprises your students about Finnish?

Finnish is unique in that it bears very little resemblance to its Indo-European neighbor-languages, and therefore it may come as a surprise to the students that it really does take an extra amount of dedication to dive into the language. In essence, the student will have to adapt a new way of thinking about language because of its grammar structures: Finnish has no grammatical gender and has only gender-neutral pronouns (one word for she/he), and the seemingly endless inflection of nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, and numerals may take some time to get used to. Finnish is certainly not an easy language, but that is what also makes it all the more rewarding; you'll be in a special club of around 5 million people who can converse in Finnish, and the Finns will love you doubly more for embracing their idiosyncratic language.

What one thing would you like your students to know about you?

I'm a native Finn, but I have a long history of learning languages myself, from English to Japanese, and from Swedish to German, so I know the intricacies and tricks of getting into the mindset of learning a challenging language.

Private classes are more flexible than Group classes. They are tailored to specific learning and scheduling needs. They can be useful if a student's language knowledge is uneven, if a more intensified study program is needed, or if privacy is a concern.

Mastering a new language can change your life.

Spending time studying an unfamiliar alphabet, practicing different sounds, and generally striving to master a foreign language like Finnish has been proven to have a positive effect on the learner's mind. Studies show that adults learning new languages stimualte similar brain parts as children learning you speak. You'll find it easier to learn and remember new things, and you'll likely enjoy the ability to hold more things in short-term memory.

Bilingual individuals often demonstrate increased open-mindedness, creativity, and approachability compared to those who speak only one language. Learning a new language extends beyond acquiring linguistic skills; it cultivates new sensibilities and a broadened perspective on the world. Consequently, multilingualism promotes a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and customs, fostering greater acceptance of new ideas.

The Beverly Hills Lingual Institute invites you to learn Finnish at our award-winning school, where we are proud to offer Finnish and more than 35 other languages.

Our language school hires and retains exceptional Finnish teachers, eager to share their knowledge and love for their native land and the Finnish language.

Our attractive location, on-site parking and schedule all combine to facilitate your Finnish courses.
