We invite all newcomers who have arrived in Estonia through regular migration to learn Estonian for free!  

Starting from 26 November, the Settle in Estonia adaptation programme will open new Estonian language course groups at levels A1, A2, and B1. The courses are intended for people who have arrived in Estonia through regular migration, have lived here for less than five years, and hold either a temporary residence permit or the right of residence as an EU citizen — for example, those who have come to Estonia for studies, work, to reunite with a family member, for business purposes, or for other regular reasons.

A total of 375 free study places will be offered for the courses starting in the new year. The courses will be held online. Registration opens on 26 November at setteinestonia.ee/login.
