Language groups at service centres

You can maintain your language skills and learn new things at language groups organised at service centres.

We have groups for different languages, such as English, German, Swedish and Spanish. There are also language groups for those studying Finnish.

Language groups are available at specific service centres. Please ask the service centres' information desk about the activities.

The activities are mainly free of charge. You need a service centre card to access the service. You can get a card free of charge from the service centres' information desk.

To browse the upcoming groups, please visit the Finnish version of this website. Go to the Finnish version.

Do you already have a service centre card?

You can get a free service centre card from the service centres' information desk if you are retired or unemployed living in Helsinki. 

When applying for the service centre card, you can prove your retirement with an earnings-related pension card or a pension or benefit decision. If you are currently not working and you are registered as an unemployed job seeker, you can apply for a service centre card on the basis of unemployment. You can print out a certificate of the validity of your job seeking from the TE Service’s E-services (webpage in Finnish)
