The Integration Foundation offers Estonian language courses for adults (starting at the age of 18) at the A1, A2, B1.1 and B1.2 levels. A wide range of learning opportunities are available, the most traditional of which are language courses.
ABOUT THE COURSES
- These courses are designed to develop all four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.Courses match the descriptions of the levels on the scale of the European language-learning framework document and therefore are appropriate for participants at the A1, A2, B1.1 and B1.2 levels.
- Courses develop the participants’ skills in expressing themselves both verbally and in writing.
- Lessons are held in Estonian.
- In addition to general language (for everyday communication and common work-related topics), the participants are taught the specific vocabulary they will need in their day-to-day lives (relevant to their profession or field, such as customer service). Depending on the level of their language skills, those who complete a course should be able to communicate in Estonian at an elementary, intermediate or advanced level.
