Course Schedule for October - November 2014

Hi, everybody! 

Here we go again! We continue the suggestopedian course from November 2014. We already have funding for 10 lessons, and will probably get money for 6  more lessons. I'm pretty sure, that I can hold a-2 month course this autumn.

Apply for the autumn group

The rules for course participants

1.  Please, do not miss lessons without reasonable excuse. The course is more effective, when we work within the same group, with the same people regularly. If you suppose that you will have to miss some classes, I would recommend you to wait for another course which would fits you best according to the schedule and let another student take a place in a group. 

2. If you are not able to come to the class – let the teacher know in advance. It is important to know the number of students at each class beforehand.

3. Being friendly and open-minded is extremely important point during the course. The group is our team, we do not learn separately, but all together. Everyone should feel comfortable and free during the course.

4. Only teacher is allowed to correct mistakes of the students or help with making a phrase.

5. Do not be late for the class. The doors get closed as soon as we start a lesson. The point is that latecomers draw students' and teacher's attention away from the lesson and make it blow over. That is why the teacher cannot get switched over to open the door every time when another latecomer comes.

6. Please, do not use mobiles during the lesson. Finnish language and I need all your attention.

This video will help you in the next lesson. Watch the video, translate it for yourself and repeat it phrase by phrase 3 times. Repeat the phrase only if you understand what you repeat:) Concentrate your attention on what  you are doing and repeat with feelings and gestures! Jutta ja Anssi ovat kivoja)

Kevään ryhmä 2014. The Spring Group 2014

Moi!

First of all I want to thank everyone for the lesson on Wednesday. As I said, the lesson was full of challenges: the huge group, too little space, different level of Finnish.... But I'm very glad, that everyone could come and try. 

We continue on Friday 04.04. 2014 at 16.30. in a group of 14 people. 

The "old" students, who started in January are in priority :) 10 "old" students confirmed participation for Aplil and May. 

The same level of Finnish in the group makes the course more effective and comfortable. The rest 4 new participants have almost same backrgound in Finnish as old students of the group. 

It means:

• have stayed in Finland from several months to 2 years
• studied some Finnish before and are on the level A1-A2

Those 4 new students will get my mail: "Tervetuloa kurssille!"
Those new students who unfortunately are not accepted will also get a mail from me:)

Those people who missed the 1th lesson on Wednesday should wait for the next course (probably in Autumn):(

I would like to teach all of you, but it's not possibe right now :( I will keep your contacts and will inform you about the basic course for very beginners (less than the level A1), if we will have one in Autumn. 

Some students who came on Wednesday had higher level of Finnish than is needed for that course. I'm also planning to develope the course for B level next year. All information about new courses you can find in my blog. 

With love!

Kristina Korotkih

P.S. Dear new students, I answered to everyone who wrote to me after Wednesday's lesson! If you have not got my mail or have not wrote me - you are not in the group...But hopefully next time in Autumn!
