News & Updates Summer Wrap-up!
It has been a lot going on in the forums in the summer months! So let me introduce you to the major announcements and forum posts in this one neat package of an announcement!
In June we had a OLS Talk - Finnish Speaking Session - 10 June and by the way, we have another coming up now as well, so take a look at this: Finnish Speaking Session - 4 August, you can still join! We had a Mini Contest going on, but sadly it was canceled due to lack of participation.
In the blogs, we had Saarihyppelyä Suomen Saaristossa - Rengastien Reitti, (Island Hopping in the Finnish Archipelago), Suomalaista arkkitehtuuria (Finnish architechture) and Suomen 5 Suosituinta Marjaa ja Sientä (5 Most popular Mushrooms and Berries to pick). They should make an interesting read, if I may say so myself!
We also celebrated Juhannus, the amazing Finnish Midsummer!
Then, this year, we have started to highlight our A1 and A2 Courses that are available here on OLS platform. You can just pick single modules or go through the whole course in any order you like, or as it is laid out!
Have you already tried these:
- A2 Course, module: What do I need to take on mobility?
- A2 Course Module: My Beautiful Garden
- A2 Course: I Used to be in a Rock Band
- A1 Course: Etsin Uutta Kämppäkaveria
- A1 Course, Module: My Living Room is Very Bright
- A1 This is my Neighbourhood
You can also try Find Your OLS Language Buddy! You might even gain a new friend! And last but not least, we had a OLS Photo Contest - Win a 100€ Gift Voucher! Unfortunately this is now closed. But there are events going on in OLS this year in numerous amounts, so keep an eye out!
I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who have joined our sessions, answered our calls for competitions and written a direct messages to me.
There is one more thing to announce, is that we OLS forums will be having OPEN DAYS on 28 August at 3.00 pm CET / 16.00 Finnish time. I will post announcement about this shortly so please keep an eye on the forum!
I hope you have a slow landing to start your Finnish mobility in the coming weeks and have gathered plenty of motivation for your upcoming study season.
I will be here to help you, should you need anything in regards to your OLS Finnish forum, Finnish culture or language learning!
See you on the forum!
