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: Tallinna had become quiet and wild. Et: Loodus hõivas vaikselt selle, mis inimestele kuulus. En: Nature quietly reclaimed what once belonged to people. Et: Arvo liikus vaikselt läbi vanade tänavate, kastes jalge all krabisesid sügislehed. En: Arvo moved quietly through the old streets, autumn leaves crunching underfoot. Et: Ta otsis varusid.
