When registering for the courses offered, please keep the following in mind:

  • To find the right level course for you, we recommend that you pre-select on the basis of three aspects: the name of the service, the level of the service, and the location. This pre-selection will help you to find and sign up for courses of interest more quickly. You cannot attend the same level course again.
  • Registration will remain open until there are places available.
  • Registering for any course comes with an obligation to study diligently all the way through the course, actively participate in lessons, and learn independently. You can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course up to one day before the course starts. 
  • We no longer offer Estonian language courses at level B2 and C1. We offer opportunities for advanced language learners to develop their language skills on our specialised courses and language support activities. You can also get the relevant information and register at our self-service.

 

Registration in December

We will announce the exact date of registration for December on our website and social media at the beginning of December.

"New Estonian Cinema" is a monthly film night series focusing on the latest gems of Estonian cinema. The aim of the film nights is to introduce contemporary Estonian cinema and develop listening, reading, and discussion skills. The film is preceded and followed by a free-form discussion where participants can share their thoughts. The more complex expressions (including colloquialisms) used in the film are also discussed in advance, and the background of the film is revealed. An information sheet or worksheet is prepared for each session. Anyone interested in Estonian films is welcome to attend. The film evenings are suitable for different language levels, and the recommended language level is indicated separately for each film evening.
Skills developed: Listening, reading, speaking.

The Estonian comedy “Jokers of Glory” is based on the short story of the same name by Eduard Bornhe. It is the 19th century, and Estonian self-awareness is on the agenda. Everyone is striving to make their mark on history in one way or another. This includes writer Saalomon Vesipruul (Karl Robert Saaremaa, “Winter”) and inventor Jaan Tatikas (Veiko Porkkanen, ‘Heroes’). They try to outdo each other and, along the way, both decide to win the heart of their beautiful neighbor Agnes (Maiken Pius, “Truth and Justice”).
