Other courses with me

I also currently teach at Aalto Open University. My next course there will be an A1 level course (Finnish 2), coming up in May 2023. My Aalto courses will appear here, look for Mari Nikonen as the teacher. My Aalto colleagues are all also lovely! Aalto courses are great if you'd like a demanding and fast-paced course.
