  • I went to Tallinn, my home capital to ask strangers how many languages they could speak. I must say even I was pretty surprised by the younger population...

    I notice the answer to this question depends sometimes on the personality of the people. Some people are shy and modest and some people are confident. Some people would not say they 'spoke' a language unless they were really confident in that language and others would happily tell you they 'speak' that language just because they'd done a bit of DuoLingo and/or could say a few phrases.

      I am Estonian. I will say I speak a language when I can freely manage in that language. Whatever I wanted to manage: a conversation, also a more complicated one, understand a movie etc. So I know 4 languages. I have also learned 4 others but I would not really count them.
      I wish Estonians all forgot Russian. Just woke up one day and not remember it. That would be cool. That would also bring a lot of changes in the society because the reason so many Russians can afford to just know Russian is that Estonians will switch very easily to whatever foreign language. If we just forgot Russian (which eventually will happen anyway) those 300 000 people would have to start making an actual effort and start integrating. Or leaving.

      I am upper advanced level in Dutch and advanced level in Icelandic and Norwegian and upper intermediate level in Norse and German and upper beginner level in Gothic and Faroese and Danish and Slovene and Hungarian and Latin and a few others and mid intermediate level in Welsh and Swedish and Portuguese and Italian and French and beginner level in most other target languages, plus I am writer level in English and native speaker level in Spanish which are my first two languages that I’ve been learning passively since childhood, and I only started learning languages on my own a bit over one year ago, like sixteen or seventeen months ago, though I didn’t learn anything for three months during those months, because I took three one-month breaks, but I am learning most of my target languages at the same time, and I have over fifty target languages, even though I’ve been focusing on Norse languages and modern Celtic languages the most because they are the prettiest languages ever that are as pretty as English, so I can already understand almost everything in many types of sentences, even in related languages that I haven’t focused so much on, so in a few years I’ll be fluent in multiple languages that I’ve been prioritizing a lot and intermediate or advanced level in multiple other target languages, as I am a full-time language learner, so I spend all day or all night learning new words and constantly revising previously learnt words, as each word must be seen and heard and revised at least thirty times over a longer period of time for each word to become automatic and permanent!
      Norse and Icelandic and Gothic are also the most alpha languages ever and some of the languages that are the most fun to learn and speak, plus they have super easy pronunciation like English, so they are a must-know for all learners, but all other Norse / Germanic / Celtic languages are also very pretty, so they are all great options, and I am learning them all!
      I highly recommend learning the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish etc fluently as they are way too pretty not to know and are the most poetic and the most heavenly and the most refined languages with the best letter combinations and the prettiest word endings and the coolest sound patterns and sounds and pronunciation rules that are so modern and amazing, and Middle English and Forn Svenska and Óld English are also super gorgeous, plus they are all easy category 1 languages with words that are naturally very easy to memorize, so one can learn many of them at the same time, and Hungarian is also a pretty language with mostly pretty words and is a category 2 language, and Latin / Galician / Catalan / Gallo / Occitan / Portuguese are some of the prettiest Latin languages, and Slovene and Latvian are the prettiest Slavic languages, which are very easy like Germanic languages and Hungarian, so they are way better options than Russian and other Slavic languages, so I recommend learning the prettiest and pretty languages 2gether, instead of languages such as Chinese languages and Japanese which are impossible category 10 languages that have mostly non-pretty words and most other languages and languages such as Russian (category 5) and Arabic (which is category 9 as all other Arabic languages) which are also very overrated and just avrg because they don’t have mostly pretty words and mostly pretty word endings and only have a few pretty words and a few pretty word endings!

      Small nations have always been good at languages. Because, as opposed to big nations who think they own or should own the world and everyone will speak their language, small nations have no desire to own the world. So they will cherish their own language first and foremost, while learning a lot of other languages because life is just richer that way. Russian, however, has been forced on us,. and still is. Because, even though it is not a compulsory foreign language in schools anymore (it is just compulsory to learn 3 foreign languages at school, which ones, is a student"s own choice) but we have a big number of Russian teachers from soviet times and they still work in schools (you cannot fire them simply because they know the unpopular language) and schools still offer Russian as an option. And some schools do not offer anything other that English and Russian, so there might not be much of a choice. Or it might be hard to fit the language offered by the school in the time table if the Spanish teacher only comes twice a week at a certain time and time would not fit you.
      But this generation will eventually retire and there definitely will not be a huge number of Russian teachers coming from universities anymore, and Russian will soon be taken over by other foreign languages. French and Spanish are popular, Scandinavian languages also. And wierdly Asian languages like Japanese and Chinese. It beats me, why ..

      A fun fact: there are 49 languages in the world (out of 10 000 languages) that functions as literary languages, languages of administration, higher education, culture and science. Only 49. And Estonian is one of them. So, even though we are so tiny, we are one of the healthiest cultures in the world. And it is our language that has given us a very strong sense of identity which became a basis of everything else, that eventually resulted in independence that we have also managed to maintain. And always will. We have always been very beautiful, in terms of everything. Now we simply have it all to ourselves.@@zoltanszego5059

I have intermediate German (because I live in a German-speaking location now) and understand a lot of Spanish (that's the family language of my husband) and a bit of Catalan (my husband is bilingual and I hear this language a lot as well, also we go to Catalonia often). I can understand pretty well Ukrainians and Belarusian but I cannot speak (my family is a mix of Russian/Ukranian/Belarusian folks). Currently I am working on my German (did my B1 exam, but it is a hard language). I would love to learn more of Spanish, because of my family and I love Spanish music. I would love to be able to read Spanish classic literature.

    Great video - aitäh! I loved Estonia when I visited - I was amazed at the fact virtually everyone could speak fluent English (even out in the countryside and on the islands), but as a farmer told me on Saaremaa, the Estonians have always had to use other languages to communicate with the outside world as so few people speak their language. But I am particularly impressed with the kids in your video, many of whom seem to be learning a language on Duolingo as well as learning others at school!
    I myself can only speak English fluently - as is the case for most English people - but I do speak a little German and Dutch, and I understand a little French. I wish I was more like the people in your video!

      Estonians speak a lot of languages. We have three compulsory foreign languages at school: A, B and C. One starts in 1/2 grade, the second in 6 grade and third in 10 grade. These are just the compulsory languages, one can choose to learn more. What these languages are, is up to the student and the school (as to what teachers they have on their pay-roll. Usually they have English teachers and also Russian teachers, because of the Soviet times when Russian was compulsory) The students choose their own languages, but there has to be at least three. Most learn English. That is followed probably by Russian because it is still easily available and therefore the easy way to take, easier to fit into timetables and such, or German. So the either Russian or German being the B or C language. Sometimes also French, Swedish, Finnish.
      All small nations speak foreign languages. The Danes and Scandinavians in general etc. Because we have to. Unless we want to limit all of our lives to just a million people. Don't get me wrong, we have a lot in our language: literature, science, entertainment .... But we still want more, so we have to know languages. Foreign languages have always been very important in our education system, belonging to the so-called core-subjects (with Math and Estonian), although the concept of any subject being more important than some other is against our education-philosophy, but a lot of people still categories them like this.
      People over 50 or so in Estonia do not speak English that well

      Oh yeah, that's another thought I had as well. If you speak enough similar languages, you start understanding a lot more of them without speaking them, so the answer for basic comprehension is very different than it is for being able to actively speak it. E.g. I have no real trouble understanding (certain dialects of) Frisian or Low German/Saxon without any exposure but also no idea how to speak them properly. Yiddish, too. Also once met an Italian who spoke French (but no English) and I spoke Spanish (but no Italian). It kinda worked. And you can communicate with most Romance speakers using Medieval Latin (although my Latin is atrocious, thank you German school system). So anyways, it's complicated.

      If I may offer some advice: the best way to really learn a language is to just immerse yourself in it, i.e. read Spanish books, watch Spanish shows (or these things in Spanish, I should say) as soon as possible. Duolingo may give you some starting point but I'm not sure it gets you all that far. At least if it's still the same as when I tried it out some years ago. I feel like something like the University of Reykjavik's free Icelandic beginner course online would be a great starting point to then learn by immersion after. But I have no idea if sth like that exists for Spanish (free of charge, I mean).

In school I studied Russian but wasn't very motivated to learn at the time and didn't really study or immerse myself in the language during my free time so I quickly forgot most of what I had learned after graduating. Been currently learning Danish for a few years and I'm close to a B1 level at that. Still having a hard time understanding what's being said during conversations and forgetting words when I panic so the talking side is holding me back a bit.

    Duolingo seems to be quite popular amongst Estonians. I've been taking classes for many languages but at some point I always lose motivation because I can't use all the languages on daily basis (I'm sure I could somehow but it's just my own fault that I don't use them) and start to forget the already learnt skills. I speak Finnish as a native speaker, English fluently and at Swedish I think I'm on the level of intermediate. Russian is one of the languages I studied in high school as well but can't remember much of it. When I graduated high school I just didn't use the language and step by step I've been forgetting it.

      Actually quite a lot of Estonians have some Swedish ancestry, especially in Western and Northern Estonia. Most coastal areas were bilingual Estonian and Swedish for a long time, so it's not surprising. By the way, some Estonian Swedes were able to stay here despite of everything.
