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: Kalevi brushes glided calmly over the canvas, leaving behind bright streaks of color. Et: Suve päike sisenes avatud aknast, valgustades Kalevi väikeset tuba internaadis. En: The summer sun entered through the open window, illuminating Kalevi small room in the dormitory. Et: Ta oli teistest õpilastest eraldatud, leides lohtust oma kunstitarvete seas. En: He found solace among his art supplies, separated from the other students. Et: Maarika, alati rõõmus ja abivalmis, oli toas täis värvilisi lilli, valmistumas ekspositsiooniks, kus Kalev kartis osaleda. En: Maarika, always cheerful and helpful, filled the room with colorful flowers, preparing for the exhibition where Kalev feared to participate.

En: Kalev looked at his hands, where a brushstroke on the canvas still trembled. Et: \"Ma ei tea, Maarika. En: \"I don't know, Maarika.
