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.

Maybe you want to speak Estonian with your grandparents from Narva? Our podcast provides a rich blend o…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T18:23:53.262662+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluentfiction-estonian-6698358"},"episode":{"title":"Rekindling Bonds: A Healing Day at Tallinna Hospital","slug":"rekindling-bonds-a-healing-day-at-tallinna-hospital","published_at":"2026-07-23T07:51:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluentfiction-estonian-6698358/rekindling-bonds-a-healing-day-at-tallinna-hospital","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluentfiction-estonian-6698358","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/et/episode/2026-07-23-07-38-20-et","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73121555/2026_07_23_07_38_20_et_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - Estonian : Rekindling Bonds: A Healing Day at Tallinna Hospital Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/et/episode/2026-07-23-07-38-20-et Story Transcript: Et: Tallinna haigla koridorid sumisevad nagu mesilastaru suvepäikeses. En: The corridors of Tallinna hospital buzz like a beehive in the summer sun. Et: Päiksekiired mängivad klaaspindadel, luues mõnusat valgust.
