Reading stories sparks imagination and inspires curiosity—it’s also a great way to learn a new language.
If you’re an intermediate-level Estonian speaker wanting to engage with some Estonian literature but have no books handy, look no further. YouTube is a great alternative. In a video from the channel keel veel teel, a native Estonian speaker reads the children’s story “Jänese Kalakasvandus” by Eno Raud aloud at a natural rhythm and pace.
This video is great if you are at a level where you can understand and speak Estonian fairly well, but would still benefit from the guidance of hearing the genuine pronunciation and intonation.
