Participating in the Language Friends Programme Keelesõber gives language learners the opportunity to practise their Estonian by talking to a mentor who is a native Estonian speaker or speaks Estonian as well as their first language.
The programme is for you if
- you have reached level B1 or higher in your Estonian language studies. This means that you can express yourself on everyday topics that are important to you (for descriptions of B1, B2, C1, and C2 levels, follow this link)
- you are ready to talk to your mentor in Estonian on topics of mutual interest;
- you can use for conversation a communication channel that suits both of you, e.g. phone, Zoom, Messenger, etc.;
- you are available for conversations between February 14 and May 14;
- you are ready to agree on whether you will be talking once a week or more often;
- you are of legal age and are participating voluntarily.
If it turns out that your language level or age does not meet the conditions of the program, we may suggest other solutions.
Estonian language learners who have reached level B1 or higher are welcome to join the Language Friends programme from 7 February 07:00. The registration will last until the positions are filled. The registration link will be published here immediately before registration begins. There is no pre-registration.
The programme team will start bringing together mentors and learners on Valentine’s Day, 14 February. Language friends can communicate with each other until 14 May.
