What is YKI Speaking Club?

It's a free online call on Zoom where we come together weekly to practice speaking as it's done in the YKI test, focusing on the mielipide (opinion) tasks. Our values are openness, respect, and non-judgment. We are all students doing our best. The required Finnish language level is minimum A2.

If you wish to become a facilitator of the Speaking Club, please write to lidiia@ykipass.fi. This will help us organize more speaking club practice calls.

What will happen during the YKI Speaking Club?

In the Zoom call, we will practice the Keskustelu (dialogue) and Mielipide tasks. For the Keskustelu tasks, we will play audio clips, and you will answer questions based on what you hear, simulating the setup of the actual test. For the Mielipide tasks, we will divide participants into breakout rooms. First, you will introduce yourselves to each other, then take one minute to prepare for the topic. Finally, each person will speak for 2 minutes on the topic, while someone keeps track of the time.
