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: At the end of a hot July, as summer begins to yield to autumn, the school stadium was filled with excitement and anticipation. Et: Õpilased kogunesid päikese all, et vaadata traditsioonilist kooli maastikujooksu. En: The students gathered under the sun to watch the traditional school cross-country race. Et: See oli oluline sündmus ja Kaisa oli otsustanud sellel aastal kindlasti osaleda. En: It was an important event, and Kaisa had decided that this year she would definitely participate. Et: Kaisa, vaoshoitud ja töökas õpilane, seisis rahva hulgas. En: Kaisa, a reserved and hardworking student, stood among the crowd.

Et: Temal oli salajane kartus, mida keegi koolis ei teadnud — astma. En: She had a secret fear that no one at school knew about—asthma. Et: Just sellepärast otsustas Kaisa treenida salaja ja vaikides, lootuses, et see tugevdab ta kopse. En: That's why Kaisa decided to train secretly and quietly, hoping it would strengthen her lungs. Et: Ta oli enda ees eesmärgiks seadnud tõestada kõigile, aga eelkõige iseendale, et ta saab hakkama ja on tugevam kui tema haigus. En: She set a goal for herself to prove to everyone, but especially to herself, that she could make it and was stronger than her condition. Et: Markus ja Liis olid Kaisa lähedased sõbrad.
