Finland has two official languages: Swedish and Finnish. Finland also has seven historical minority languages: Swedish, Sami, Russian, Tatar, Romani, Jiddish and Karjalan kieli. That means that they have been spoken in Finland for more than a hundred years. Today over a 150 languages are spoken in Finland.

In this brochure you will find information about Swedish courses, study possibilities, networks, activities in Swedish presented in English. As a newcomer you have the right to choose your integration language. It can be either Finnish or Swedish. However, in the capital region the majority speaks Finnish. Only 6.5% speak Swedish even though most Finland-Swedes live in the capital region. In fact, every fifth person in Finland lives in the capital region. The Finnish constitution grants the right to use Swedish with all state officials and to get service in Swed- ish by all Swedish-speaking and bilingual municipalities in Finland. To apply for Finnish citizenship requires proficiency in one of the official languages.

Most jobs require knowledge in Finnish. Some jobs require proficiency in both Finnish and Swedish while there also are certain jobs that require only Swedish. These jobs are mainly found within the educational field or the social- and health care sector. One can also start a company in Swedish and handle taxation matters in Swedish. Increasingly, many jobs require good skills in English as well. There is also an English job market, even though it is small. For instance in the business sector many Finnish companies have English as an internal language even though Finnish and often also Swedish is required. It’s a good idea to consider what options the different languages offer when choosing one’s integration language.

But maybe you want to get to know Swedish-speaking Finns without knowing Swedish or perhaps just to learn the basics of the language. This brochure is here for that as well. Thank you for picking it up and hope to see you around!
