Spanish at Lärkkulla – Beginner Course (A1) and Elementary Course (A2)
August 24, 2026 – May 21, 2027

Come to Lärkkulla in Karis and learn Spanish! For more than 30 years, Lärkkulla has successfully organized language courses in Swedish, Finnish, and English. We now offer two intensive Spanish courses: a Beginner Course (A1) for complete beginners and an Elementary Course (A2) for students who already have basic knowledge of Spanish.

Why learn Spanish?

  • A widely spoken language: Spanish is the second most spoken native language in the world, with 480–500 million speakers globally.

  • Career advantages: Knowledge of Spanish makes you more attractive in the job market, especially as the Mercosur trade agreement between the EU and Latin America comes into effect.

  • Enriching travel experiences: Speaking Spanish deepens your travel experiences in Spain and Latin America.

  • Relatively easy to learn: Spanish is linguistically easier to learn than many other languages.

After the course, you will be able to speak and use Spanish fluently.
