How to introduce yourself in Estonian

This is a fictional practice example, not a script to memorise. Keep the structure and use your own facts. If it feels difficult, start with the first three sentences.

• “Minu nimi on Anna.” — My name is Anna.
• “Ma elan Tallinnas ja töötan müüjana.” — I live in Tallinn and work as a shop assistant.
• “Vabal ajal meeldib mulle lugeda ja jalutada.” — In my free time, I like reading and going for walks.
• “Õpin eesti keelt, sest tahan kolleegidega eesti keeles suhelda.” — I am learning Estonian because I want to speak Estonian with my colleagues.
• “Soovin iga päev natuke harjutada.” — I want to practise a little every day.

Say your own version, hide the text and ask Marko for follow-up questions. Start with one sentence, then add a reason or example. This practises understanding questions, not just recalling a script.

• “Kus sa elad?” — Where do you live? Add something you like about your town.
• “Millega sa tegeled?” — What do you do? Mention one everyday task.
• “Mida sulle vabal ajal teha meeldib?” — What do you like doing in your free time? Give an example.
• “Miks sa õpid eesti keelt?” — Why are you learning Estonian? Explain your goal. These are personal-question exercises, not an official exam paper.
