Let's Learn Estonian Episode 5 "CHRISTMAS SPECIAL"

[@lennarthultgren4918]

hi! Tip Tap is a song that we use to sing in sweden with the children in their scool

[@AllieCheeky]

I agree. I think we say that because it's a different langauge when compared to others (I've already studied English, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Norwegian, and some dialects, and Estonian is different from them all!). To find good material to study was an obstacle too, but now I am much more confident. And, when I watch the videos the way you present the things really makes things seem easy. After we finish, we alrady can speak something, which stimulant.

[@mszabodc]

Thank you very much for helping - my wife has some Estonian friends coming for Christmas today 😊 Haid Joule to you 🎄🎅

[@AllieCheeky]

Ok, I am already your fan! I agree with the previous comment, it's not exactly an easy langauge... it doens't seem to any other I've already studied... but your lessons are creative, fun, inovating... it's a pleasure to wacth you and we really learn, not only new voabulary, but also about your culture. Thanks! :D

[@RubenHeerenDev]

Great videos. Very informative.

[@TaurusProgramming]

This was really easy to learn, you share alot of your alphabet with the swedish one :) So learning this as a swede was surprisingly easy, thanks and good luck in the future :D

[@icky5157]

thank you so much for this video. elasin eestis 2 aastat... aga nuud olen tagasi amerikas. iga paev igatsen eestit!! i love being able to remember the estonian traditions and being able to hear and remember when i was trying to learn this difficult language! You are almost like my new pen pal :) ja vabandan... ei raagi puhtalt... olen ameriklane! :)

[@saraaluhord6081]

I've been watching some of her videos ...and I think she looks like Taylor Swift ... She's an amazing girl.

[@bemmie100]

Saraa luhord I can understand why you think that :)

[@shazkingdom1702]

Yes, i think so she looks like Taylor Swift 😂

[@MrJac53]

I love your English accent. Did you grow up in Estonia? Head joulu puhi. I apologize for the lack of accents.

[@CameronPaxton]

In English, those calendars with chocolate are called "advent calendars." Thanks for the video!

[@hrewulfgrimmhelm1166]

With respect to noun cases and verb conjugations, will screwing up sometimes on the consonant gradation cause a lot of comprehension trouble? Consonant gradation seems to be the only confusing part to me in estonian.

[@LSDEAN13]

Häid jõule,. I wish you much happiness.

[@hartmannvondunaburg6768]

Häid Joule !!! I am german, but I live in Hungary, Estonia and Finland !!!

[@petershaw4977]

we expatriate Estonian who fled the Bolshevik invasion in 44 to Germany -the lesser of the two totalitarian systems- my mother told me years later - celebrated Xmas similar to our homeland with actual small fir trees ! at that time there I remember in 49 the snow lumi was thick on the ground and the windows frosted over with icicles hanging down from the eves - I had my own kelk we sang something that went Oh joulu puu Oh joulu puu paneme kunlad pulema ( excuse the spelling !!!! I still remember the smell of the needles as the candles warmed the branches - funny how such memories stick in one mind down through the years Maybe I will visit Estonia before I die, to my home town Parnu at least I could drink the local beer and make my self understood with the locals

[@icky5157]

well thank you very much!1I have tried hard to remember most of it... pean kusima... mida teed jargmiseks video? kas oled facebookis?

[@sparda11]

We do that chocolate calendar thing in the States too :)

[@ss-mj1zj]

Glögi is usually an alcholic drink :/ at least according to finnish wikipedia and it would be logical cause it was originally spiced wine

[@LithiumxLacrymosa]

Funny, piparkook in Dutch would be peperkoek and sound so similar that if you would use the Estonian word in a Dutch store they would know what you mean!

[@salsaestonia]

I actually know some Swedes who talk Estonian like a native person would, so it seems Estonian is very easy to learn for Danish, Norwegian and Swedish folks.

[@julianwhybra9323]

Very good! I think though that you mean 'blood sausage' or 'black pudding'. 'Bloody sausage' would mean that you weren't very pleased with it!

[@zionwhipple]

suurepärane! btw if you want "glögi" can be directly translated to the boring phrase "mulled wine" ;)

[@MultiSuperllama]

Aw! Suur Aitah. Thats so nice of you. thank you :D

[@icky5157]

@liisaorav mida!! saladused soprade vahel? ei tohi ;) haha what typeof camera have ou been using? what type of camera are you looking at buying? noh... maybe we can combine our powers and make mingi muusika video... mu sober ja mina on teend monede videod... meie youtube nimi on reklasman. ongi vaga hea saada tutavaks sinuga! mu nimi on marcus...

[@pop96Life]

I love your lessons :D I found Estonian really hard but thank to you I'm finding it pretty easy.When are you loading the next lesson? :D I can't wait :P Are you on facebook?I'd like to improve my Estonian talking to some people from there :D

[@toddjohnsen7996]

How patient are Estonians initially with foreigners still trying to master Estonian?

[@LittleMissSquirrel]

it depends on people, everyone is different :)

[@k8tina]

I have cousins on my dad's side who are still in Estonia (Tallinn, mostly) and they told me as long as you are trying, the locals are very understanding 😊🇪🇪 (My dad & Vanaema left Eesti in 1944 because of WWII and only recently have I found my relatives who were thought be lost during the war!)

[@javidakhmedov5932]

Should ı learn russian or estonian?

[@LittleMissSquirrel]

javid Marley it's entirely up to you. It really depends where you are going, who are you going to talk to and what are you going to do.

[@javidakhmedov5932]

ı am going to live in talin year for prep-year+bachelor.Can ı learn russian language in there ı want to learn basic russian language before going there.I am wondering one thing what about wheather in winter ı mean daily wheather.How many clothes should ı wear in there.ı take shower every day does it might be problem in winter ( cold wheather)

[@LittleMissSquirrel]

javid Marley In Estonia you will probably need to learn Esotnian, but you will have a chance to learn Russian as well as there's a lot of people who have Russian roots living in Tallinn. Weather wise, probably warm and waterproof is a good idea. We never know what kind of winter will come. It can be reallly cold or it can be rainy. We never know :D especially these days :),

[@dimikus8]

+javid Marley Beter learn estonian. Im from Latvia and i was in Tallin few years ago. I'll say, only old people speak russian there, young know only english and ofc estonian.

[@kajakaupang1919]

I'm Norwegian learning Estonian, which is something I've found surprisingly easy so far. A lot of Estonian words origin from Norwegian or opposite, and the letters and words are pronounced very similarly. Thanks a lot for your videos!

[@Janis_Jonevs]

Lithuanians and Latvians also use pre-christian names for Christmas. Lithanians: kalėdos, Latvians - Ziemassvētki.

[@APB187]

all i want for christmas is lisarov! sa oled mu kirg

[@justinmcridge2716]

nice work on the videos ! I cannot believe someone hit the dislike button !

[@LittleMissSquirrel]

+Justin McRidge hahaha :D well someone must not like learning Estonian :D

[@justinmcridge2716]

you are probably right! it takes all kinds to make a world!

[@ellasmith5098]

When I was in Estonia a life guard talked to me in Russian I was like whaaaaaaaa then I told her I don't understand *she looked confused* räägin eesti või inglise keeles! I screamed at her

[@kertukaljusaar7743]

Kas te olete ka Eestist? Mitte pahaga aga miks te ingliskeeles ss räägite?

[@LittleMissSquirrel]

+Rainbow Stars jah olen küll... kuna ma õpetan inglise keeles eesti keelt ;)

[@shazkingdom1702]

Day 5! it is the easiest Haid Joule & Ilusad Joule!

[@Camroc37]

Spanish seems closer to English than Estonian, probably due to Latin influence. Many Spanish words are close to English words.

[@Wolvinius]

Estonian language is pronounced as Spanish, you say as you read. And English is much closer to French (Normandy French), Spanish borrowed from French and Italian. French is heavily influence by Latin.

[@greitlinhanson3745]

are you from Estonian?? 😄 I'm from Estonian ☺

[@tadianni8757]

+Little Miss Squirrel loogiline sul on ju eesti aksent :D

[@MrUnknown415]

[@alext9801]

I love Estonian! Well done, Little Miss Squirrel! I love languages, thats why I'm sharing languages too, so if you want to learn Romanian, then watch my videos too! Pop down!

[@zionwhipple]

[@LittleMissSquirrel]

[@christopherellis2663]
