Permanent residents and returnees can sign up for free Estonian language courses

There are still places available on the Integration Foundation’s free Estonian language courses.

The courses offer Estonian language learning opportunities at levels A1, A2, B1.1, and B1.2. The courses are conducted in Estonian and are free of charge for participants. Participation is possible at the Estonian Language House and through language schools in different regions (e.g. Tallinn, Narva, Tartu, Jõhvi), as well as online. A total of 130 places are available. 

The first courses begin in August, with some groups starting in September and October. Depending on the language level and study group, the courses run until December or January. There are morning, daytime, and evening groups to choose from, and classes take place 2–4 times a week. Morning classes take place between 8.00 a.m. and 12.00 p.m., daytime classes between 12.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m., and evening classes between 5.15 p.m. and 10.00 p.m.

Registration for language courses is available via the self-service portal:
https://iseteenindus.integratsioon.ee/login

You can sign up as long as there are still places available for the courses.

To register, log in to the self-service portal using an ID card, Mobile-ID, or Smart-ID. Filters for the course start time, language proficiency level, and location will help you find a suitable course.

It is important to note that you cannot take a course provided by the Integration Foundation more than once at the same language proficiency level. You should therefore assess your language skills as accurately as possible before signing up. If necessary, you can use the self-assessment scale. 

After signing up, you will need to attend the course from start to finish and actively participate in both lessons and independent study. If a learner is unable to attend a course, they must cancel their registration via the self-service portal no later than 24 hours before the course starts. 

Advisors of the Integration Foundation can answer any specifying questions from Monday to Thursday from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. and on Fridays from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.
