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 Toompea lossiplats was full of life and color. Et: Oli suve keskpaik ja Toompeal toimetasid ostjad ja müüjad hoogsalt. En: It was mid-summer, and buyers and sellers were bustling about Toompea. Et: Õhus hõljus värske leiva ja grillvorstide lõhn, kõikjal olid näha värvilised lilled ja käsitööesemed. En: The air was filled with the smell of fresh bread and grilled sausages, and everywhere there were colorful flowers and handicrafts to be seen.
