Kielenrauhaa takes its name from the Finnish words kieli, that means language, and rauha, peace.

Just like other Finnish compound words, it has its own, special meaning - 

 'the peaceful way of language learning'. 

The founder and administrator is Hanna Huovari, a private Finnish language teacher living in Tampere, who believes the language is the door to another culture and more comprehensible world.

Welcome to study Finnish with me!

I teach Finnish, Swedish, and Spanish with kindness and expertise.
Every person has their own unique culture and story, that increase understanding and support shared learning.

My goal is not only to teach words, but to help you feel comfortable when acting in a new language environment.

 I participated in the 15-lesson YKI training group. Se on mahtava! The course was practical and fun, I wanted to focus especially on the active parts of the test (speaking and writing), so I learnt clear strategies and had plenty of opportunities to practice doing homework in my freetime, and during Zoom meetings. 

Thanks to Hanna and the friends in group, I felt confident and well-prepared on test day and passed! I recommend this training to anyone aiming to succeed in the keskitaso YKI test. -MD J , spring 2025

Hey, I took your self-study class for yki. It helped me a lot in learning things when you are always very active in giving feedback. The material you provided for the exercises is excellent, I think it's a good thing that most of the subjects came from the exercise questions you gave. I would definitely recommend your course. Thank you very much for your instructions and tips.

"I enrolled in Hanna's YKI course, and it was an excellent experience! The course was specifically designed to help us prepare for the YKI test, covering all the essential skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Hanna is very supportive teacher, and provides practical exercises. The small class size is good for personalized attention and active participation.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to effectively prepare for the YKI test."

"I always struggled to find the right resources to learn Finnish. The personalized approach and supportive environment changed my mindset, because during the lessons with Hanna, I felt encouraged. She tailored the sessions to fit my learning style and pace. The focus on practical conversation skills helped me gain confidence in speaking. I can only recommend Hanna's lessons to anyone looking to learn Finnish in a supportive and kind environment."
