Learn Estonian with real humans

Estonian is a Finno-Ugric language spoken by 1.1 million people in Estonia, the most digital country in Europe. An EU member since 2004 and part of the eurozone since 2011, Estonia is the birthplace of Skype, TransferWise and digital e-Residency. Close to Finnish yet distinct, Estonian has 14 grammatical cases and three phoneme lengths, making it a musically fascinating language despite its reputation for difficulty.

Did you know? Estonia is one of the most digitalised countries in the world: 99% of public services are available online, elections have been held via the internet since 2005, and anyone in the world can become an Estonian 'e-resident' to create a company in the EU. Singing is central to Estonian identity: the 'Singing Revolution' of 1987-1991 led to independence without violence through mass choral gatherings. The 'Laulupidu' festival brings up to 30,000 choristers on stage every 5 years, a world record. Tallinn is one of the best-preserved medieval old towns in Northern Europe.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Estonian

Estonian has 14 grammatical cases and a long/short/overlong vowel system that doesn't exist in any Indo-European language. It is objectively one of the most complex languages for Western Europeans. But our native teachers prioritise the most frequent cases (nominative, genitive and partitive cover 90% of situations). The good news: there's no grammatical gender, and the spelling is phonetic.
Not automatically, despite their Finno-Ugric kinship, Finnish and Estonian are not mutually intelligible in speech. They share about 60-70% of basic vocabulary, but the phonology and many common words differ. A Finnish speaker has a clear advantage when learning Estonian (and vice versa), but this does not replace formal study.
Estonia is the Silicon Valley of the Baltics. It produced Skype (sold to Microsoft for 8.5 billion), TransferWise (Wise), and has the highest number of tech unicorns per capita in Europe. Estonian e-Residency allows you to create an EU-based company 100% online from anywhere in the world. Understanding Estonian is an asset in the fast-growing Baltic tech ecosystem.
Estonian is specific to Estonia, Latvian and Lithuanian are Indo-European languages that are very different and unrelated to Estonian. That said, Tallinn is a very English-friendly city, and Estonians generally speak good English, Russian, and often Finnish. Learning Estonian is primarily useful for truly integrating into Estonian society and the job market.
Yes, Estonian e-Residency requires no language skills, all interfaces are available in English. But if you want to base your life or your team in Estonia, Estonian is essential for daily life, dealings with local administration, and integration into Tallinn's start-up community.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

DamienVerified purchase

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
