What has drawn all these students to learn this beautiful but complicated language ?! Love (or family), is the top reason: many have spouses, kids, parents and kids around them who speak Estonian, and want to know what is being said around (about?!) them! Others are pure Estophiles, loving the language and all things Estonian! Some have been singing in Estonian for years and now want to understand what they have been singing! And some are language majors that felt that a language with 14 declinations would be fun to learn!
