HOW TO BECOME A KIELIKAVERI
Anyone who wants to practice learning a language and is willing to share their native language can become part of the Kielikaveri program. There are no requirements for learning – only your willingness to share knowledge and practice speaking is important.
To join, just register and you can start learning and sharing experiences with other Kielikaveri members.
HOW TO JOIN THE KIELIKAVERI PROGRAM?
To participate in the Kielikaveri program, please fill out the APPLICATION FORM. After processing your application, we will match you with a Kielikaveri whose wishes match yours. Once a suitable match is found, we will send you an invitation to the first meeting.
Please take care to fill in all form fields so that we can best meet your needs. Don't forget to include your contact phone number for prompt communication.
LET'S MEET!
The first introduction to Kielikaveri can take place, for example, at the Graniitti Multicultural Centre (Helsinki) or online, with a coordinator or independently. At the first meeting, a plan for subsequent meetings is made. In the future, we will send a feedback survey to the couples. Your opinion is important and valuable to us, because we want to improve and develop our activities.
WHAT APPLICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED
Please do not submit requests from your loved ones without their prior consent. We appreciate your concern and desire to help, but providing information about your loved one without their consent reveals their personal data, which is unethical and can damage relationships.
Kielikaverit agree with each other when and where to meet and the duration of the meetings, which will be held in two languages. The first meeting can be either online or offline, in a park, cafe or museum - wherever you like best.
It would be useful to split the meeting. For example, first speak Russian for half an hour, then Finnish for half an hour, but you can speak both languages at the same time. If your language skills are not very strong yet, you can just play language games.
Kielikaveri must be attentive to the wishes and expectations of others, and willing to communicate his own expectations.
