Language hikes: meeting with an experienced hiker (in Narva)

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!
