Testimonials
Here’s what our students say:
Eesti keel
I really liked your course, and I'm satisfied with the result. I set myself the goal of starting to speak, and I began to speak. I decided to take the exam and passed it. This was an additional bonus. I liked the textbook we studied. And, of course, I really liked the teacher. We spoke very little Russian during the lessons, Estonian was constantly used. Lena pays very close attention to each student in the group. And she is also just a very good and soulful person, which always wins... I was lucky with the group, with the course participants — we enjoyed talking to each other, we still keep in touch and stay connected.
Jana Vinogradova

The course is amazing, thank you very much. The teacher is kind, communicative, always comes up with new interesting activities, and overall it's pleasant to learn Estonian with him.
Nikita Leinik

I'm satisfied with the training. Specifically, the exam preparation. The teacher has a well-thought-out lesson plan (listening, speaking, and reading). What is important is that we had a very good, strong, and positive group.

Yana Vinogradova

I'm satisfied with the training, lessons with Lena go very well, and time flew by so quickly. As for plans, in March I want to try to pass the exam, and then we'll see. Of course, I'll think about how to proceed, and in any case, we'll stay in touch :)
Irina Zotovich
Eesti keel
The impressions from the course are the most pleasant. Only sorry that due to busyness, I didn't always manage to do lessons and attend seminars on time. The benefits are undoubtedly there. It's nice to surprise colleagues (all Estonians) by using the Estonian language. Now many think before speaking. This is a joke. Overall, I'm glad I took this course. When I decide to continue my studies, I will definitely contact you. Best wishes.
