Estonian language. Well. Where do I begin?

Estonian is hard. Very hard. Not only because of their 14 cases, but also because there isn’t really any help on the internet. I mean, yes, there is, but not really. All programms there are teach you only the basic-basics. What if you already know them? What if you want to learn more? Well - there is nothing to do about it.

Sometimes I feel like despairing. I am sitting at school from 8 am till 4 pm and just feel bored. There is nothing I can do. I don’t understand the teachers and their explanations. I don’t even understand the tasks in the books. But I don’t give up.

I started not to care anymore about the prohibition of phones during the lessons. I always have my phone on my desk and google translator is opened. And then I wait. I wait until I hear a word the teacher says very often and then I try to figure out how it is written. First it didn’t work out very well, but today I figured all the words out by first try.

It is really hard at school. I’m not used to have so many lessons a day and also to have so many different subjects. In a language I don’t understand (yet). I always leave school with a headache, but I guess (I hope) that will go away soon.

My hostfamily slowly starts to speak Estonian to me. Of course not all the time, we still speak English most of the time. But still, sometimes, when they tell me to do something/ask me something/ whatever, they speak Estonian. And I understand more and more. And that makes me proud.

Of course, I must sound like a 1-year-old toddler to all the native-speakers, but better this than being too afraid to talk Estonian.

To all the ones out there who have to learn a completely new language: You can do it. I believe in You all.

Mis saab siis kui maailm saab otsa?

Või

Mis saab siis kui armastust enam ei eksisteeri?

Või

Mis saab siis kui seks on ainuke mõte millele keegi suudab üldse mõelda?

Või

Mis saab siis kui alkohool annab sama tunde mis pohuism?

Või

Või peaksin küsima
