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: At the beginning of summer, in a peaceful and nature-surrounded closed residential area of Tallinn, where the daily city noise is replaced only by the rustle of leaves and the fresh scent of pine, Maarja was preparing for her long-awaited weekend. Et: Tema kõrval seisis naeratav Kristjan, kes võttis asju alati vabamalt. En: Next to her stood a smiling Kristjan, who always took things more casually. Et: Nad olid plaaninud Jaanipäeva pidustuste auks sõita suvekoju, mis asus Tallinna taga rahulikul järveäärsel alal. En: They had planned, in honor of the Jaanipäev celebrations, to drive to their summer house, which was located in a tranquil lakeside area beyond Tallinn. Et: Seal ootas neid nende sõber Kalle.

Et: Küll aga ei läinud kõik plaanipäraselt. En: However, not everything went according to plan. Et: Päikeselise ilma varjutasid ootamatult tumedad pilved ja peagi algas torm, mis muutis sõitmise keeruliseks. En: The sunny weather was unexpectedly overshadowed by dark clouds, and soon a storm began, making driving difficult.
