Overview
The Estonian Language and Culture course from Tallinn University aims to familiarize a wide range of international students not only with the Estonian language, but also with the country’s rich culture, history, art and lifestyle.
After a short written test, students will be divided into groups based on their initial proficiency in the Estonian language.
Why this course?
- You can be one of the few people capable of speaking a very unique language, spoken natively by only about 1.1 million people.
