Learn Estonian with Drops

What’s new in Drops? Estonian! The Drops team is excited to announce our latest language course and the language of our home base. 

Estonian, known as eesti keel in the language, is the official language of Estonia. It is spoken by about 1.1 million speakers. 

About the Estonian Language

Estonian is a Uralic language, falling into the Finnic branch. Its most closely related language is Finnish. Estonian is one of the official languages of Estonia and the European Union. Despite being from an unrelated language family, Estonian shares one-third of its vocabulary with German, so German-speakers or learners will recognize a lot of Estonian vocabulary.

If you’re interested in history, Estonian is a great language to learn. The first Estonian book ever published dates back to 1535. It’s also a great language for grammar lovers--Estonian has 14 cases, endless compounds (for example: minu sõbra poja töökaaslase koer -- "my friend’s son’s coworker’s dog"), and consonant length changes the meanings of words.
