Speaking the Language
Back to top Back to main Skip to menuEstonia - Speaking the Language
In form and content Estonian differs from its closest related language, Finnish, at least as much as English differs from Frisian. The difference between Estonia and Hungarian, the second closest language, is as significant as the difference between German and Persian. It is one of the smallest languages to function independently.
Like most Europeans, young Estonians can usually speak English very well. It is the first foreign language that they are taught at school and there is often a lot of exposure to English in Estonia via television.
