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,

Story Transcript:

Et: Kaisa astus ettevaatlikult läbi raagus puude, jälgides iga oma sammu.
En: Kaisa stepped cautiously through the barren trees, watching every step.

Et: Sügise karge õhk pakkus värsket hingamist, kuid tema eesmärk püsis kindel – leida muistsete sugulaste varjatud aare.
En: The crisp autumn air offered a fresh breath, but her goal remained firm – to find the hidden treasure of ancient relatives.

Et: Maarja kõndis tema kõrval, hoides alalise skeptilisuse varju oma silmis, kuid valmis iga hetk oma sõpra toetama.
En: Maarja walked beside her, maintaining a shadow of skepticism in her eyes but ready to support her friend at any moment.

Et: Mäelinna varemed seisid udus, peites saladusi sajandeid.
En: The ruins of Mäelinn stood in the mist, hiding secrets for centuries.

Et: Kaisa tundis, kuidas põnevus ja ärevus segunesid temas, kui nad lähedale jõudsid.
En: Kaisa felt excitement and anxiety mingling within her as they approached.

Et: Ometi teadis ta, et Arvo oli ka teel.
En: Yet she knew that Arvo was also on his way.

Et: Arvo, röövkütt, kel oli halbu kavatsusi ja kes püüdis aaret isikliku kasumi nimel leida.
En: Arvo, a poacher with bad intentions, was attempting to find the treasure for personal gain.

Et: „Kaisa, kas oled kindel, et me suudame teda edestada?“ küsis Maarja.
En: "Kaisa, are you sure we can outpace him?" Maarja asked.

Et: Kaisa noogutas, kuigi mure varjus end tema ilmel.
En: Kaisa nodded, although worry shadowed her expression.

Et: „Me peame. Me ei saa lasta tal seda kätte saada.“
En: "We have to. We can’t let him get it."

Et: Maapind kergelt värises, kui nad suure kivi veeres seisma jäid.
En: The ground trembled slightly as they came to a halt beside a large rock.

Et: See oli nende vihje, saladus, mille nad olid päevade jooksul koostanud muistsest pärimusest ja kaardist.
En: It was their clue, the secret they had pieced together over days from ancient tales and a map.

Et: Maarja kükitas maha ja eemaldas kivi kõrvalt samblatüki.
En: Maarja crouched down and removed a piece of moss from the side of the rock.

Et: Kaisa järgnes tema näitele, hakkas mulda ettevaatlikult harutama.
En: Kaisa followed her example, starting to carefully dig up the soil.

Et: Just siis kostis metsatihnikust lehtede krabin.
En: Just then, the rustle of leaves came from the forest thicket.

Et: Arvo tuli nähtavale, silmad täis ahnust.
En: Arvo emerged, eyes filled with greed.

Et: „Noh, näib, et te jõudsite ette,“ ütles ta külmalt naeratades.
En: "Well, it seems you got here first," he said with a cold smile.

Et: Kaisa teadis, et olukord on ohtlik.
En: Kaisa knew the situation was dangerous.

Et: Kuid äkitselt taipas ta midagi.
En: But suddenly she realized something.

Et: „Maarja, aita mul see kivi üles tõsta,“ ütles ta kiirelt.
En: "Maarja, help me lift this rock," she said quickly.

Et: Koos rühitseti, kivi nihkus ning selle alt leidsid nad kivipealse pealiskirja.
En: Together they strained, and the rock shifted, revealing an inscription on a stone underneath.

Et: „See on siin,“ sosistas Maarja, kui nad leidsid väikese kirstu.
En: "It’s here," Maarja whispered when they found a small chest.

Et: Arvo astus lähemale, kuid Kaisa tõusis püsti ja seisis kindlalt tema teel.
En: Arvo stepped closer, but Kaisa stood up and firmly...
