At 10 a.m. on 30 June 2026, the Integration Foundation will open registration for free Estonian language courses. Adults who have lived in Estonia for at least five years are welcome to apply.
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, in language schools in different regions (e.g. Tallinn, Narva, Tartu), as well as online. A total of 1,408 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, January, or March. There are morning, afternoon, 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 opens at 10.00 a.m. on 30 June 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. As some courses fill up quickly, we recommend that you check, before registration opens, whether you have an ID card, Mobile-ID, or Smart-ID, along with valid passwords, to log in to the self-service portal. It is also worth considering which level of language proficiency, form of study, and location would be most suitable. In the self-service portal, filters for services, language proficiency levels, and locations help you find a suitable course more quickly.
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 can cancel their registration no later than 24 hours before the course starts via the self-service portal.
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 Friday from 9 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.
