Take the opportunity to enrich your gardening vocabulary and practise your Estonian.

The weather favours gardening and the Estonian Language House in Narva invites everyone who has developed a love for gardening, as well as everyone else who is interested, to visit the nursery of Juhani Puukool in Jõhvi. Under the guidance of an experienced agronomist, we will learn about the range of plants available at the nursery, how to choose plants depending on the soil and fertilisers, and how to care for and look after them. And, of course, it is an excellent opportunity to choose some plants you want for your garden.

Practical language training through physical activity – we are going to be active, communicate, and learn!

Language training takes place twice a month starting from September. All activities are relaxed, fun, and interesting. We are going to get to know one another, make friends, and learn Estonian together. You will not even notice learning the language as we spend time together.
