In the first half of 2022, the Narva Estonian Language House will organise, in cooperation with Alutaguse Hiking Club, three language hikes in Ida-Virumaa. As a special feature, in addition to hiking, we also learn Estonian.

During the hikes, we are accompanied by a tour guide, who introduces the places on the trail in Estonian, and you have to perform various language tasks. The hike is also preceded by a short online meeting where we review the relevant vocabulary, which makes it easier to understand the tour guide. If you love fresh air, discovering beautiful and interesting places in Estonia accompanied by nice people while learning Estonian, then please register!

‘New Estonian cinema’ is a monthly series of film evenings focused on recent Estonian cinema. The series focuses mainly on the best Estonian comedy and drama films, but also features award-winning documentaries and artistic short films (BFM). The film evenings aim to introduce contemporary Estonian films and promote listening, reading, and discussion skills. The screenings are preceded and followed by a free-form discussion where participants share their thoughts; more complex (including colloquial) expressions found in the films and the background of the films are also discussed before the screening.
