Estonian Vocabulary


Video with the most common words in Estonian

Why and how to learn Estonian vocabulary with audio?

Estonia's multiculturalism and sense of innovation make it a place to visit at all costs, even if it is less publicized and a less popular destination at the moment. The Estonian language has more sounds than most Latin languages, and is divided into 8 dialects and 117 sub-dialects: a rich panorama for lovers of language learning!

Stroll through the heart of cities with a Christian history and visit the most beautiful churches in the country. Discover the beauty of the large illuminated cities during your night walks (Kas sa tahad täna õhtul välja minna? : "Do you want to go out tonight?") and take a breath of fresh air by the shores of enchanting lakes (Ma tahan puhata to say that you want to rest, by stopping by a lake for example).

To get you used to the wide variety of sounds, we have selected for you some films, novels, music and series that should help you.
