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: The Tallinna zoo glistened under the spring sun. Et: Õhus oli tunda värsket lillelõhna ja loomade häälitsused segunesid laste kilkamisega. En: The air was filled with the fresh scent of flowers, and the sounds of animals blended with the squeals of children. Et: Maarika, väsinud kuid otsustav, astus sisse koos oma laste, Aksli ja Riinaga. En: Maarika, tired but determined, entered with her children, Aksel and Riina. Et: Ta tundis end ülekoormatuna, arvestades oma üksikema kohustusi, kuid tänase päeva pidas ta eriliseks.
