Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 6 Oct 2025InterestsMedical & HealthcareFoodMuziekPets & AnimalsReading
I am Eli(sabeth), born and bread Estonian with a passion for languages. I've completed TEFL level 5 course and been teaching Estonian since Sept 2025, both online and in-person courses.
I also run a beginner-friendly podcast Estonian with Eli as I noticed the lack of materials available for listening.
The lessons could be more traditional classroom-atmosphere and discuss grammar or do drills, or just a casual conversation to practice your Estonian, whatever you prefer. My goal is to make you a more confident speaker using varied materials for it, such as video, audio, reading and homework assignments between lessons (if preferred). For beginners, I can suggest following Settle Estonia A1/A2 book, or E nagu Eesti, if you prefer, to go through various topics in an organised way, but we can also just focus on what you want to be able to say and how you might be exposed to the language.
If you have time and want to do some homework between lessons, please let me know, I'm happy to assign some and go over it before our next lesson :)
I am also happy to use any of my other languages to help you learn, so let me know if you want to have the lesson in a different language than English!
I also use other platforms like Jitsi or Proton Meet, so if you prefer not to use Italki classroom, send me a message!Mijn lesmateriaal

I learned what different types of food are called and we covered their different noun forms, focusing on vowel and consonant lengths. Not easy but very useful :)

Eli’ga on lihtne suhelda. Ta on heatahtlik, toetab ja aitab alati, kui tekivad raskused. Temaga suheldes tunnen end enesekindlalt ja turvaliselt.
