Finnish language differs so much from the mother tonques of the most students. That means rather much work to get in communication in Finnish especially now when a part of the students study abroad without getting help of living in Finland. The work demands time and online collaboration. A regular and active attendance in lessons is important and also compulsory to pass the course. But as said, in addition to it much private learning is needed. 5 ECTs course means 5 x 27 hours of work! To build up one's motivation is very important: to find useful, fun and creative ways to learn, use and understand Finnish. So have Finnish as a hobby also in your free time!
