Estonian Exams Test Your Understanding, Not Memorized Grammar
Build it through listening and reading—from simple dialogues to native podcasts.

— Anton, founder
"Studying a language that doesn't have a lot of materials for learners makes it a challenge. With Saanaru, I've been able to fill in the gaps."
— Cassandra, learning Finnish
"If you're actively turning texts and audio recordings into comprehensible content, I'd highly recommend giving Saanaru a try."
— Luca Lampariello, polyglot
Comprehension Gets You 50 Points. You Need 60 to Pass.
The Estonian language exam has four sections worth 25 points each: listening, reading, writing, speaking. Pass at 60 points. Listening and reading—pure comprehension—give you 50.
Here's what schools don't teach: navigating ambiguity. Immersion trains your brain to recognize patterns even when you don't know every word. On exam day, when you hit unfamiliar text or confusing questions, you stay calm and work through it—because you've done this hundreds of times already.
3 Months of Daily Dialogues to Build a Solid Foundation
We created 1-minute dialogues voiced by native speakers at a slow, digestible pace. Basic vocabulary, but real conversations—not textbook exercises.
One dialogue a day for 3 months. By the end, you'll have the foundation to transition to A2 short stories and eventually native podcasts.
Audio Player with Transcription and Translation
Our player shows the audio transcription and translation. Follow along with the text while listening and switch your eyes to the interlinear translation to avoid looking up every word in a dictionary. This format trains contextual understanding even when there are unfamiliar words.
Turn Any Audio into a Lesson—News, Podcasts, Voice Memos
Once you've built basic comprehension with short dialogues, you can turn any Estonian audio into a lesson. Upload a podcast episode, ERR news, or ask a friend to record a voice memo. Content you choose yourself sticks better—finding it signals to your brain that it's worth remembering. We transcribe it and turn it into a lesson with synced text and translations.
