Lifelong learning in Swedish and Finnish

With more than 1000 students each year, ASI’s language program is one of the best resources available to learn Swedish, Finnish, and North Sami. With both online and in-person classes offered at all skill levels, students of all ages can learn a new language or practice their skills from anywhere in the world.

Along with traditional classroom formats, ASI offers innovative language learning experiences—book clubs, hiking clubs, music-listening sessions, and more.
