I have already tried to learn Estonian, but it is a very difficult language. Will your courses really help?

Yes, the Estonian language is considered quite difficult to learn. That’s why the programs of our courses are built on the principle of “from simple to complex”: you will gradually, step by step, master the grammar and build up your vocabulary. Classes are held in mini-groups, which allows you to effectively practice your conversational skills and perception of the Estonian language by ear. We use modern teaching methods and adapt the program to the individual needs of each group. Our experienced teachers will help you overcome the language barrier and achieve the desired level of Estonian proficiency.

Is online learning suitable for preparing for the official exam?

Yes, our online courses fully meet the requirements and program of the official Estonian language exam. We not only provide in-depth language knowledge, but also thoroughly prepare students for the exam procedure itself: we analyze typical tasks, practice speaking and listening skills. Our students receive all the necessary knowledge and successfully pass the exam after completing the training.

I'm only planning to move to Estonia, can I start learning already now?

Of course, you can start learning Estonian even before moving to Estonia, and the online format is perfect for that. Proficiency in Estonian will help you adapt and integrate into life more quickly after the move. We have courses for both beginners and those who already have a basic knowledge of the language. You will be able to choose the most suitable level and format of study for you.

I have a family and a job, what if I don't have enough time for regular classes?

We take into account the busy schedules of our students and offer the online learning format as the most flexible.
You won’t need to spend time and energy commuting to and from school – you can join the online classes directly from home. You can do your homework and independent work with learning materials at a time convenient for you.
The main thing during online classes is to listen to the teacher carefully, follow their requirements, and try to actively participate in conversations and other educational activities.
We also strongly recommend using a camera in addition to a microphone during the classes to make the learning as lively and interactive as possible.

I speak English perfectly, why should I learn Estonian?

I lack the motivation to study on my own, do you help with that in online lessons?

Who will teach me?

The author and instructor of the course is a practicing SEO specialist, the creator and owner of his own web studio, Lyudmila Elesina.
Her total experience in site promotion is 13 years, and she has been teaching SEO work for 9 years.
She will conduct online classes and check how you cope with practical tasks.
She will give useful tips and answer any questions, both during the lessons and in the course chat. You will be able to adopt her experience, professional knowledge and lifehacks.

I don't know what level I should aim for

And what if I get sick or can't handle the workload?

We understand that sometimes life circumstances can make adjustments. That’s why we’ve provided for the possibility of a flexible schedule and an individual approach.
If you encounter difficulties during your studies – write to us, and we will look for a solution together.

Will I receive any document after the course?

Yes, upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a certificate.
