Are you ready to supercharge your Estonian listening comprehension?

Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Estonian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Estonian and English.

This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Tallinn, Tartu, or Pärnu? Maybe you want to speak Estonian with your grandparents from Narva?

Our podcast provides a rich blend of cultural and linguistic insights to thoroughly engage you in the authentic Estonian experience, primarily found within the picturesque borders of Estonia. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Estonian listening comprehension.

    Fluent Fiction - Estonian: History Unlocked: A Winter's Night at the Natural Museum Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/et/episode/2026-02-07-08-38-20-et Story Transcript:Et: Muuseum avas uksed, kui hilises talvehämus üksik paar Liisut ja Karli levitasid oma energiaid toas, kus kivistunud elukad ajaloost puhkasid oma klaaskarpides.En: The museum opened its doors as the late winter twilight found the solitary couple, Liisu and Karl, spreading their energies in a room where petrified creatures from history rested in their glass cases.Et: Loomulik muuseum oli Karliga iga päev seiklus.En: A natural museum was an adventure with Karl every day.Et: Tema silmad ekslesid uhkelt muuseumi saalist saali, justkui hõljudes igal sammul uude maailma.En: His eyes wandered proudly from hall to hall of the museum, as if floating into a new world with every step.Et: Aga täna, täna oli Liisu jaoks oluline päev.En: But today, today was an important day for Liisu.Et: Ettevalmistused olid täies hoos, ja väljapanek pidi olema kuu tipp sündmus.En: Preparations were in full swing, and the exhibition was to be the highlight of the month.Et: Liisu armastas fossiile.En: Liisu loved fossils.Et: Ta teadis iga kaevanduse, iga kivi keermestikuga lugu, justkui olid need tema enda lapsed.En: She knew the story of every quarry, every rock thread, as if they were her own children.Et: Näituse pidi olema perfektne.En: The exhibit had to be perfect.Et: Karl aga jäi tihti pidama, imetledes vana Aafrika kilpkonna kilpe või Egiptuse sarkofaagide kivimurdmisi — nii palju ajalugu, nii vähe aega.En: Karl, however, often paused, admiring ancient African turtle shells or Egyptian sarcophagus stone carvings — so much history, so little time.Et: „Kus sa oled, Karl? Me peame liikuma edasi!” hüüdis Liisu, püüdes teda tabada pilguga, mis laskis läbi ainult terase tõhususe.En: "Where are you, Karl? We need to move on!" called Liisu, trying to catch him with a glance that allowed only steely efficiency.Et: „See on oluline; on ju näituse eelõhtu peatselt.”En: "This is important; it’s the eve of the exhibition soon."Et: Karl tõstis aeglaselt oma pead ja naeratas, surudes pihku ühe väikese laavaosa, millel peitis end iidne putukas.En: Karl slowly lifted his head and smiled, pressing a small piece of lava into her hand, where an ancient insect was hiding.Et: „Liisu, vaata, kui kihvt avastus!”En: "Look, Liisu, what a cool discovery!"Et: Aga Liisu teadis, et ilma lepingu ja distsipliinita ei saa midagi valmis.En: But Liisu knew that without an agreement and discipline, nothing would be finished.Et: Peatus, hingas sügavalt sisse ja ütles: „Karl, me peame õigel kursil püsima. See näitus tähendab meile palju. Palun keskendu.”En: She stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "Karl, we need to stay on track. This exhibition means a lot to us. Please focus."Et: See oli nagu äratuskell.En: It was like an alarm clock.Et: Karl mõistis, et tema armastus ajaloo vastu viib sageli eemale, kuid ilma tähelepanu ja pühendumuseta ei jõua nad kuigi kaugele.En: Karl realized that his love for history often led him astray, but without attention and dedication, they wouldn't get very far.Et: Ta võttis Liisult viimase hoiatuse vastu ja pani oma süvenenud meeleklaasid pähe.En: He accepted Liisu's final warning and put on his focused mindset.Et: Nad töötasid koos edasi, samal ajal kui muuseumi uksed töötajatele sulgusid ja päev vahetus ööks.En: They continued working together, while the museum doors closed for the staff and day turned into night.Et: Kui viimane klaaskarp oli paika pandud ja valgustus niimoodi seadistatud, et iga fossiil näis veelgi elavam, seisid nad kahekesi saali keskmes.En: When the last glass case was put in place and the lighting was arranged so that each fossil appeared even more vivid, they stood in the center of the hall together.Et: Ümbritsenud vaikuses tõstis Karl õhku oma seiklusjanu ja ütles: „Liisu, ilma sinuta poleks me ilma planeerimata valmis saanud.”En: In the surrounding silence, Karl lifted his adventurous spirit and said, "Liisu, without you, we wouldn't have been ready without planning."Et: Liisu naeratas tagasi: „Ja sinult õppisin, et mõnikord paigastunud korra kiuste võib avastada midagi hämmastavat.”En: Liisu smiled back: "And from you, I learned that sometimes, despite disordered plans, we can discover something amazing."Et: Muuseum helkis oma väärikuses, täis kivistunud elu ning nende kahe kolleegi jaoks oli see talvine tööpäev kõigi nende ajaloode õnnestunud sümbioos.En: The museum glistened in its dignity, full of petrified life, and for these two colleagues, that winter workday was a successful symbiosis of all their histories.Et: Nad oli valmis homseks, valmis näitama maailmale osa, mis kulgeb aegade taktis.En: They were ready for tomorrow, ready to show the world a part that strides in the rhythm of ages.Et...

The Estonian narrator is much slower than the English one. I would prefer the same rate of delivery for both languages

I liked the concept of the podcast and the choice of stories / plots
