When she hugged that teddy..my heart melted...

I have been thinking about moving to Estonia and this helps a lot with general idea on the language. Your culture seams so more peaceful and less crazy then the US.

Genius that you add context and culture in your learning. This fills in a gap that i didn't know I had before watching this video. Thank you!

I'm so glad I found your channel; my grandfather (and all of that side of the family) is Estonian, but he never taught my father or myself the language. So its like finding a little lost part of myself, and I can finally hear and learn his native tongue. Thanks for making these videos :)

Finally something to study some Estonian! I've been studying Estonian by myself for a quite short period of time... about 1-2 months... but to find material available is not really easy. I am happy I've found this channel!

Estonian language sounds cute :) I wish my language was cute...

Thank you for posting these videos! It is extremely hard to find anything to help you learn Estonian out in the English speaking world. Thank you for sharing your beautiful language with us!

My wife's family is from Tallinn and these videos are helping us learn her family's language. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.

Tere! Really well done for your videos, they are extremely helpful, starting from the basics and well-settled. I will be using them during my stay in Estonia I guess. Thank you very much for your work!!:)

Thank you for the videos. I'm trying to learn but it is difficult. However having such a beautiful teacher is a big plus.

Oh Waouh ! That's great ! Next september I'll be moving in Estonia. These videos of yours will be really, really precious to me ! Hopefully I won't make a fool of myself when actually talking to people instead of imitating you behind my computer ! So, aitäh from France ! xx

You are so cute it makes learning even more fun :3 watching your expressions makes a smile on my face aswell x) Keep doing these! -Greeting from Finland

Tere! I just love this nice neightbour. Im from Finland! I don't know if someone has already said that but 'aitäh' means 'excuse me' in informal way in Finnish (actually spelled 'Ai täh?"). And there's many other similar words. Sometimes I can fully understand Estonian and sometimes I can perfectly misunderstand because of the similarity. Greetings from Finland!

Thaaaaaaank you for this video and also for the other ones that you have made. So far i have seen 5 of your videos and they are all veeeeeeeery good ! ! I already speak 4 languages and this is the FIRST TIME that i am learnig a language with a lot of happiness because you are very happy and you transmitt your happiness and your passion to help other people learn EStonian . THAAANK you !! Nektarios from Athens -- Greec

entertaining, amusing, and educational. thank you for sharing a piece of your personality with you lesson.

Tere, I watch your videos recently to learn how to speak Estonian language. You help me a lot. Suur Aitah! ^___^

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I finally am made it to Tallinn and these first two days have been a pleasure thanks to learning some of the basics from you. Maybe we'll run into each other

As an American with an Online friend from Estonia, I always watch your videos just to try and help myself learn. I want to be able to communicate in this beautiful language and impress my friend Toomas. =P Thanks

very inspiring! my friend learnt so much when she will go to estonin school much luck and hugs

Amazing! I'm interested in learning the language and I'm Loving the way you explain it!

So I found your tutorial videos after watching your singing ones, and I must say that they are very interesting. I like hearing you sound out the words and explain everything. Plus you make them cute by adding your personality. :) I hope you make more of these as well as more song videos.

Thanks for the lessons :) Please continue with them. You are great to listen to! :)

Thank you. I have been looking for years trying to find a fun way for my children to learn Estonian. My husband's family is from Estonia, but my husband was never taught to speak Estonian. :) I am sharing your link with others in his family here in the states who have always wanted to learn, but were never taught... for whatever reason. Thank you so much! :)

Thanks for your mention about Korean bow. I stopped by your channel to learn "greeting in Esonia" cause I've got an online friend. He taught me Estonian greeting several times, but I am a stupid and forgot evrt he said. LOL Happy to find your channel to learn about it. And I can say "tere õhtust" which he would want me to memorize. Thanks, again! I couldn't resist to subscribe you!!!

Thank you Miss Squirrel, I'm from Australia but my family is from Estonia. I hope to visit one day soon!

WOW this was really good!! Thanks for making this! I never knew how to say anything in your language before ^^

I visited Tallinn a year ago and I fell in love with it and with Estonian people, so I decided to learn your language. I love you methond, you're funny and your explanations are simple and easy!! thank you so much!! (must say I teach English in my own country, so I know what I am talking about... you rock, Little Mis Squirrel!!).

Beautiful teacher

Excellent! Thank you!

Haha! I love these videos because you teach whilst doing funny scenes like with the teddy! You are helping me learn Estonian which is a crucial thing for me so good on ye :D

I've been dating this Estonian girl for about 3 months so I am trying to learn some phrases. Thanks so much for putting these up :D

I never knew Estonia even existed until today. Love the English accent, and very interesting language to hear someone as a foreign language; for me at least.

Congrats on 6,000 subscribes! :)

Your videos are quite helpful, I'm coming to Tallinn in 3 weeks!

Beautiful !

Thank you....very, very much. I love all language (Ühest keelest ei piisa kunagi) yes?.... And you are a fantastic helper!!

Thanks very much!

Thank you for this video. Today I managed to freak out my Estonian colleague. She was not expecting to be greeted with "Tere Hommikust" :D

Terekest! I just met an Estonian friend and I have learned some words but I wasn´t sure about the pronounciation... I like your videos because you are pretty good at explaining stuff.. I hope you can continue doing this awesome job! Head aega!

Very good,i like the end with revisión

im estonian and seeing people want to learn the language and move here makes me smile

Thank you! This video help a lot!

Hi ! I'm Brazilian and good to learn Estonian language. May God bless you!

Suur aitäh! Good vide-lessons, keep doing a great job, because it's actually quite difficoult to find good content for Estonian language

Good , thank you .

I loved your videos

im teaching my non estonian friend estonian and this is helping so much aitah!!

I plan to live in Estonia for the rest of my life when I get my degrees. Thank you for helping us learn Estonian!!

Clearly you are a very nice person.

Greeting from Latvia! I also know some words in estonian like tere, aite, jataiga, keskus and kusi mu kaest :)

amazing lessons!!and i love the way u pronunce the R!!👏 :D

this is really cool - i am learning Estonian in Tartu. Thanks for your help

I really like you! You seem so fun and sweet and genuine. I agree about the hugs as well. If you're gonna hug someone, give them a REAL hug!! Not what I call a "half-hug".

Tere! :) I love this language!

thank you so much liisa, but i'm just wondering how to start the card at the top? in english we start with "to " then the persons name... is ok to write.. "to Rister.. Haid Joule! ja head uut aastat".... then "suur tanu koige eest" etc. or is there a more traditional way? once again any help would be realy appriecated, by the way i've watched every video of yours and i'm a huge fan,, your music rocks!! but i realy enjoy the "lets learn eesti vids"!! Aitah =)

Hi thanks your first video is amazing . I am interested. and i would be visit on December in estonia

I could watch and listen to you all day! helpful hint: Revise = remove and change or to change something that was written or said... What you meant to say was "Review" meaning to go over something, or to go over something written or said again. You can also say "Let's do a recap" or "Let's recap".

Aitäh! Will se what i can do. :D It`s awsome that you do what you do, estonian needs to be teached, couse not many people speaks estonian in the world, same as latvian. I want to learn estonian, finnish, livonian and lithuanian. :D

Nice your information. You try to explain it properly. I like your video, so i subscribe it..😀😀😀

It's pretty helpfull! Thanks! Keep on!

شكرا على الدرس الذى قدمتيه وأتمنى السفر الى استونيا

I love you accent.

Wow..Thanks for this vid.

It's kinda awkward for a finn, two languages very similar

I am a Yankee who loves the Estonian culture and language and I thank you (aitäh!) for this. When I eventually can visit Eesti, I look forward to using this lesson in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu.

Tere!! Congratulations for your videos, I have enjoyed watching it. Sorry, I've got a question. What's the meaning of "Tere toulemast"??

thank you for this. I started saying hello or tere at work and people look at me funny!

thank you for this. I will share with my brothers. our father was born and raised in Estonia and we would always say deh da deh da for hello in greeting our grandparents which were both Estonian. maybe we heard it wrong from my father but that is what it sounded like to us as kids. The way you pronounce Tere sorta has a d sound to it and not a hard t sound. we would also say nagamist for goodbye. nice video.

Will go to Estonia for a few day in February

We use Servus for Hello too :)

열심히 배울게요~~

Nice

I plan on going to Estonia on a university exchange at some point. These videos seem great for preparing so far! Aitäh!

i was on saaremaa for about a month earlier this spring. i loved it there :)

greeting from South Korea. annyong:) im planning to visit ur country on May and ur videoes might be helpful for me to learn ur Language. :D love ur accent! thanks a lot. God bless you! 😀

Hi are making anymore vids? My I live in the US and my girl is from voru Estonia. I want to surprise her by speaking Estonian.

It is very informative and is estonian are very warm people like you? Or it is just you? Are you a language teacher by profession? That for the video 😄hi from the other side of the world (indonesia)

Great videos thank you! Your English is really good btw, have you spent time here in England or are all Estonian people great at English?

Thank you! I am moving to Estonia next summer and these videos are very helpful!

Hey neighbor, greetings from Latvia, and thank you for the video. :) There is one thing.. is there any difference between Õ and Ö ? i just can`t hear it. maybe couse we just don`t have sounds like that in latvian.

I can only write to you Liisa that you are truly beautiful! Keep up the amazing work!!!!

Great video! I'm wanting to travel to Estonia next year and I was wondering if many people speak Russian/ would be offended if I spoke Russian to them? My only other languages are English and Vietnamese and I don't think I'd be able to attain a decent level of Estonian by then s:

I love the sound of that language. And it's related to my mother-tongue, but still, I feel there is not much in common, still I love it :)

If such a gorgeous girls live in Estonia and people there speak such a cool language, I must definitely visit this land! ;-) Díky, veveřičko!

Me too!

I need a hug from you.

Tsau! :D I'm from Czech republic .. and I have been learning the english language for at least 2-3 years .. and it's really an amazing to hear the foreign people speaking english Aitäh for the video,I wish i could talk with you on skype. We have many similar words..you would not believe.. So .. Aitäh and Servus. x)

I think I'm in love

Good job dear

Nice lighting.

I think she is beautiful, and am enjoying learning Estonian with her😃

My dear teacher! It has been an excellent lesson, as you have explained the proper behavior when greeting in Estonia. If you allow me, the words pass very quickly which makes it necessary to stop and delay the video frequently. Otherwise it has been an agile and entertaining learning. Thank you very much. PS. I'm taking notes and keeping track of my Estonian lessons. ;)

Люблю эстонский))

When you realize that around 15% of the viewers are estonians

yeah they are i know because i live there

You've got such a lovely voice! Estonian and Polish have a very similar pronunciation of letters. And I've laughed when I heard a word "Hommik", because in Polish it is pronounced just like in Estonian but here it means "hamster" :D God I love languages

The rule is actually that those vowels can only occur in stressed syllables. Since almost all words in Estonian (like in Finnish) are stressed on the first syllable, what you read is true almost all of the time, but misses the point slightly. There are a few words where the stress is carried on a non-initial syllable, such as "aitäh" and various foreign loanwords. /// Liisa, thanks for your videos. Ma armastan eesti keelt! :)

great! I'm from Estonian 😄😄 tere ! väga lahe

Well I learned alot.. tere in Hindi(one of the indian languages) also means "yours" so it was bit easy although it doesn't have a same meaning . But I am use to the word tere

Day 2! 🙏 🤝
