The platform
Progress in Estonian between classes, at your own pace
Interactive lessons with native audio, vocabulary, dialogues and quizzes. Everything you need to reinforce your skills between live sessions.
The platform
Between classes, you move forward twenty minutes a day
Lessons follow one another in order, with no evening to set aside. Every word is recorded by a native speaker.
- 247 lessons across 59 modules, from beginner to advanced
- Native audio on every word, with a slow-down button
- Your progress is kept, on phone and on computer alike
Audio
You hear the language as it is actually spoken
The recordings are made by native speakers, not by a synthetic voice. The slow-down button separates the sounds when it goes too fast.
- Every sentence can be played and slowed down
- The transcription and translation sit under the audio
- You replay it as many times as you need, with no limit
Quizzes
Every module ends with a quiz, not with a ticked box
You are corrected on the spot, with the explanation. A failed quiz can be retaken, with no penalty and no record.
- Immediate correction, with the right answer explained
- An end-of-level test opens the next level
- A level certificate at the end of the course

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.”
CamilleVerified purchase

“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.”
SorayaVerified purchase

“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.”

“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.”
