À propos de cet audio

 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.

Teda täitis põnevus ja soov tõestada ennast.En: Kalev, their new teammate, stood slightly apart, filled with excitement and a desire to prove himself.Et: Vaatamata Taneli kahtlustele, osales Kalev rõõmuga igas tegevuses, innustades ka teisi oma kirgusega.En: Despite Tanel's doubts, Kalev participated eagerly in every activity, inspiring others with his enthusiasm.Et: Maarja oli otsustanud, et parim viis inimesi lähemale tuua on olla avatud ja ehe.En: Maarja had decided that the best way to bring people closer was to be open and genuine.Et: “Teate,” ütles ta ühel hommikul kaastundlikult tiimile, “ma ei ole alati suutnud kõiki neid praktikaid ka ise uskuda.En: "You know," she said compassionately to the team one morning, "I haven't always been able to believe in all these practices myself.Et: Alguses ma kahtlesin.En: At first, I doubted.Et: Aga jagades oma nõrkusi tundsin, et meie tugevus peitub just selles, kus oleme ausad enda ja üksteise vastu.”En: But by sharing my weaknesses, I felt our strength lies in being honest with ourselves and each other."Et: See ausus hakkas murenema ka Taneli vastupanu müüri.En: This honesty began to chip away at Tanel's wall of resistance.Et: Ühes usaldusharjutuses, kus pidi silmad kinni usaldama teist end juhtima läbi kitsaste metsarajade, keskendus Tanel kergesti oma mõtetesse.En: In a trust exercise where he had to close his eyes and trust someone else to guide him through narrow forest paths, Tanel easily found himself lost in thought.Et: Ta hakkas mõistma, et tema peamine skeptitsism oli usalduse puudumine mitte ainult teiste, vaid ka iseenda vastu.En: He began to realize that his main skepticism was not only a lack of trust in others but also a lack of trust in himself.Et: Lõppude lõpuks muutusid kõik samm-sammult avatumaks.En: In the end, everyone gradually became more open.Et: Tanelil oli silmad avav hetk, kui ta lõpuks tõeliselt lasi end usaldada ülejäänud tiimil.En: Tanel had an eye-opening moment when he finally let himself genuinely trust the rest of the team.Et: See muutis kogu tema nägemust koostööst.En: This changed his entire perspective on cooperation.Et: Kirna mõisa oli muutunud nende kõigi jaoks rohkemaks kui lihtsalt kauniks taustsüsteemiks.En: Kirna mõis had become more than just a beautiful backdrop for all of them.Et: Kui nad eemaldasid end metsast, lahkusid nad mitte üksnes kolleegide,...
