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. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Tallinn, Tartu, or Pärnu? Maybe you want to speak Estonian with your grandparents from Narva?

En: Kristjan and Maarja began their summer day at Lahemaa Rahvuspark. Et: Kristjan soovis Maarjat üllatada romantilise piknikuga keset loodust. En: Kristjan wanted to surprise Maarja with a romantic picnic in the middle of nature. Et: Maarja pakkis kaasa piknikuteki, võileivad ja puuviljad. En: Maarja packed a picnic blanket, sandwiches, and fruits. Et: Päike paistis eredalt ja mets lõhnas värske suve järele. En: The sun shone brightly, and the forest smelled of fresh summer. Et: Nad kõndisid mööda käänulist metsarada, otsides täiuslikku piknikukohta. En: They walked along a winding forest path, searching for the perfect picnic spot.
