At general upper secondary school, you can study Finnish and literature (äidinkieli ja kirjallisuus) based on the Finnish as a second language and literature (suomi toisena kielenä ja kirjallisuus) syllabus if your native language is not Finnish, Swedish or Sami.
You can study Finnish as a second language (S2), if you find one or more of the following things difficult to do in Finnish: - speaking - reading - writing - listening
S2 instruction will prepare you to study and work in Finnish in the future.
