Its purpose is to help immigrants learn, understand, and use Finnish in everyday conversation situations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\">EKK meets once a week in small groups, consisting of both volunteer Finns and immigrants. Participants can speak in a natural way that is comfortable for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\">EKK operates in the spring and fall for four to five months. The conversation groups change approximately every two months, allowing participants to hear different speech styles and meet new people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\">You can join EKK at any time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\">You can also come and learn about EKK&#8217;s activities at the bi-monthly &#8220;Let&#8217;s Speak Together&#8221; event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\">Interested?
