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.

En: It was a summer afternoon when Aino, Eero, and Maarika arrived at the Tallinna Old Town market square. Et: Päike säras heledalt, tehes kogu turuplatsi erksaks ja elavaks.
