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.

Ta asus tööle, andes endast parima.En: His decision was made. He got to work, giving it his all.Et: Leena jäi seisma ukse taha, rahulikuna, kuid ootel.En: Leena stood outside the door, calm but waiting.Et: Tema süda kloppis hirmust, aga ta teadis, et tema vend on oskuslikes kätes.En: Her heart was pounding with fear, but she knew her brother was in skillful hands.Et: Tunni möödudes täitus tuba vähemate patsientidega, kuid hinge koorem ei lahkunud Kaarli pealt.En: As an hour passed, the room started emptying of patients, but the burden did not leave Kaarel's shoulders.Et: See oli päev, mida ta iialgi ei unusta.En: It was a day he would never ...
