The method
Learn Estonian like a journey, not a chore
Forty stages cross the real map of Estonia, from the coast to the southern highlands. Here’s what happens at every stop.
Themed word packs
Each stage gathers the words you’d actually use there — at the market, on the bus, with family — and plays each one in clear, native Estonian.
One grammar power
A single new “rune” per stop: the partitive, a locative case, the past tense, the conditional. Small, digestible, and explained with its real exceptions.
Practice that tests it
Short quizzes with hearts keep you honest, and typed drills make you produce the endings — not just recognise them.
A milestone sentence
Decode a full Estonian sentence built only from what you’ve learned. By A2, that’s a paragraph you read with total comprehension.
Why it sticks
The science, hidden inside the story
Under the fairy tale is a deliberate learning system.
Spaced repetition that feels like story
Words you’ve learned slowly “fade” as the Hall Mees reclaims them — and resurface right when you’re about to forget. It’s a forgetting curve dressed as a villain.
Motivation built in
XP, real Estonian ranks, daily streaks and badges turn “I should practise” into “just one more stage”.
Accuracy you can trust
Nothing is invented. Every item is checked against Estonia’s official dictionary before it ever reaches a lesson.

It’s free to start, and your first treasure sentence is closer than you think.
