Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Estonian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Estonian and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story.

En: The Tallinna ülikool dormitory was full of life during the summer. Et: Soojad päikeseloojangud valgustasid ühiskasutatavat ala, kus eri kultuurid ja mõtted kohtusid. En: Warm sunsets illuminated the communal area where different cultures and ideas met. Et: Avatud akendest kostis linna melu ja õhus oli tunda jaanipäeva lähenemist. En: Through the open windows, the city's buzz could be heard, and the approach of jaanipäev was in the air. Et: Maarika, ajalootudeng, istus üksinda laua taga. En: Maarika, a history student, sat alone at the table. Et: Ta õppis hoolega, aga tihti tundis end üksikuna. En: She studied diligently but often felt lonely.
