Hello! My name is Rosina, I am Estonian but I live in Carcassonne in the south of France. I enjoy both learning and teaching languages. Teaching Estonian is particularly fun: as it's such an unusual language to learn, it often attracts unusual and interesting people as students. I would love to get to know you and find out why you've decided to learn Estonian! Teaching has always been my favourite job and hobby. In my classes, we will rarely use material from text books. Rather, we will work with authentic materials, such as newspaper articles, song lyrics or YouTube videos. Interaction is also important: in a 1-hour class, at least half the time will usually be devoted to conversation. Teaching has always been my favourite job and hobby. I love developing new materials and new pedagogical approaches. In my daily life, I primarily teach statistics and bioinformatics to scientists. However, I also really love teaching languages and have been sporadically teaching private students in Estonian and English since I was 19. My Bachelor's degree was in linguistics, with quite a lot of focus on foreign language didactics. I am fascinated by how everybody learns languages differently and how I as a teacher can adapt. In 1-hour classes, at least half of the session is usually devoted to conversation in Estonian. For the rest of the class, we will focus on reading, writing, listening or grammar, depending on the student's needs. Conversation lessons are of course only for conversatio...

I had a very good first lesson with Rosina. We spoke Estonian from the beginning, and then obviously had to switch to English as we were discussing more advanced things such as my learning goals etc. She allowed time for me to correct my mistakes verbally which I appreciated. She seemed also very knowledgeble, patient and pedagogical.
