    The “farm building” are the ruins of an old windmill.

      Thank you for that! That's good to know. How old do you reckon it to be? Maybe used for processing something?

    Funny fact: The word "вокзал" ("vaksaali" in Estonian) originates from the English word " Vauxhall".

    You still got Jõhvi wrong 😂 It's a similar sound to Russian "Ы" but I get why it's complicated to pronouns, my international friends were having difficulties as well. Hopefully you had a chance to visit Toila Park and Valaste waterfall, beautiful places. In case you didn't, come back in summer, it's even better🔥

      After I finish uploading next two episodes of EASTonia (Ep. 3 out this week), you'll see videos of me going to Russia. Crossing Estonia/Russian border to Kingisepp, and then I just got back from Kaliningrad on another trip.
      I travelled on my EU passport, on the quick and easy 40 euro new Russian e-visa all EU citizens can get online. I had an incredible experience in Russia, everyone was friendly, including border guards. I'd say go to Russia if you want to go to Russia, its amazing. You will have no issues.
      I would say for those who truly can't go to Russia, Ida-Viru County in Eastern Estonia specifically is a decent place to practice the Russian language, and has some interesting history elements intertwined with Russian and Soviet history, but its also a very different place in a way. It feels different. Still worth visiting! I enjoyed my time there.

    I visited Tallinn and had the opportunity to practice some Russian. Maybe when I'm a bit better I can venture East as well. How would you describe your method of learning the language? Do you use apps, teacher, books?

    • @borschbandit
      @borschbandit  4 місяці тому +3

      I spent my first year exclusively on Duolingo, fairly casually. I still use Duolingo but I also take an online class with a teacher from Tiraspol once a week. I also learn words from watching the Russian social media platform ‘VK’.
      I have more episodes coming from the eastern towns, so subscribe if you would like to see more!

    In all the baltics you can always assume that the olrder generations can speak some russian, while the younger can speak english. So when approaching the ticket-lady in Tallinn you try russian first 😉
    And of course, almost half of the population in Tallinn considers Russian their first language, and a third considers themselves to be russian.
