Hi Etienne,

Finding finnish classes in Montreal is not that easy, and most often, they are quite costly.

In anycase here are the options I found so far:

1- Berlitz -- Private courses of 45 min. 3200$ + taxes for the first 36 hrs. You need to call them up and make an appointment, and the rate may increase as finnish classes are not much in-demand.

2- College Platon -- Back in 2009, the rate for private courses was $45.00 per hour, plus $45.00 for the registration and $45.00 for the books. (I don't think the taxes are included in these rates). They request a minimum starting block of 8 hours.

3- Saint Michael's Finnish Ev. Lutheran Church -- private courses are 30 $ per hour. No incription fees. Courses material is provided. At some point, there were also running groups. website: http://finnishchurchmontreal.i8.com/

I hope this helps, and if you have found any other alternatives to these, feel free to share.

Mary
