Are you ready to supercharge your Estonian listening comprehension?

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?

Our podcast provides a rich blend of cultural and linguistic insights to thoroughly engage you in the authentic Estonian experience, primarily found within the picturesque borders of Estonia. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Estonian listening comprehension.

Kuidas saan kasulik olla?” vastas florist rõõmsalt, pilk kiiresti üle Kaareli kaartes.En: "Of course! How can I be of help?" replied the florist cheerfully, glancing quickly over Kaarel's shoulders.Et: “Tahan leida midagi erilist. Aga kõik roosid ja muud traditsioonilised õied on otsas,” ohkas Kaarel.En: "I want to find something special. But all the roses and other traditional blossoms are gone," Kaarel sighed.Et: Florist mõtles hetkeks. Siis särasid ta silmad.En: The florist thought for a moment. Then his eyes lit up.Et: “Tead, mul on sulle midagi huvitavat! Kuidas oleks talvehaljastiku ja haruldaste õite kimbuga?”En: "You know, I have something interesting for you! How about a bouquet of winter greenery and rare blooms?"Et: Kaarel kahtles hetkeks. See kõlas ebatavaliselt.En: Kaarel hesitated for a moment. It sounded unusual.Et: Aga võib-olla just seetõttu ka huvitavalt.En: But perhaps that's what made it interesting.Et: “Mida sa täpselt silmas pead?” uuris Kaarel.En: "What exactly do you mean?" Kaarel inquired.Et: Florist hakkas vilkalt toimetama, tõstes lopsakaid igihaljaste oksakesi, eukalüpti ja mõningaid lumivalgeid õitsejaid.En: The florist briskly began working, lifting lush evergreen branches, eucalyptus, and some snow-white blossoms.Et: Seal olid ka väikesed selginärtsud, mis justkui tuletasid meelde Maarja sundimatut iseloomu.En: There were also small dried flowers that seemed to remind one of Maarja's unpretentious nature.Et: “See on kindlasti midagi muud,” naljatas florist nutikalt, ulatades valmis disaini Kaarelile.En: "This is definitely something different," the florist cleverly joked, handing the completed design to Kaarel.Et: Kaarel vaatas kimbu üle – see oli tõepoolest eriline.En: Kaarel looked over the bouquet—it was indeed special.Et: Tagasi tänavale astudes tundis Kaarel, kuidas pinge temast kadus.En: Stepping back onto the street, Kaarel felt the tension fade away.Et: Maarja elukoha ukse ees seistes süda puperdas, ent julguseta he'd kaotanud ei olnud.En: Standing in front of Maarja's home, his heart fluttered, yet he hadn't lost his courage.Et: Käes olev ebatavaline kimp tõotas talle midagi erilist ning uut.En: The unusual bouquet in his hands promised him something special and new.Et: Närviliselt uksele koputades ja Maarjat sisse lastes, sirutas ta ette kimbu. Ootusärevus tuksus.En: When he nervously knocked on the door and Maarja let him in, he extended the bouquet. Anticipation pulsed.Et: Maarja vaatas lilli ja puhkes naerma – see ei olnud pilgav naer, vaid soe ja imetlev.En: Maarja looked at the flowers and burst into laughter—not a mocking laugh, but a warm and admiring one.Et: Ta võttis kimbu vastu naeratades.En: She accepted the bouquet, smiling.Et: “See on... hämmastav! Aitäh, Kaarel. Ma ei ootaks midagi tavalist sinult,” ütles Maarja, silmad rõõmust ...

The Estonian narrator is much slower than the English one. I would prefer the same rate of delivery for both languages

I liked the concept of the podcast and the choice of stories / plots
