Estonia Creates Free Online Course for C1 Level Estonian Language

The Ministry of Education and Research has signed a framework agreement to develop a new digital C1 level Estonian language course. The course will be part of the national e-learning system and is available free to all interested learners.

The Ministry of Education and Research has taken an important step in developing Estonian language education — a framework agreement has been signed for developing a new digital C1 level language course. The course will be part of the national e-learning system and is completely free for all those who wish to improve their language skills.

C1 level, according to the Estonian language framework, represents an advanced level that enables language users to communicate fluently and flexibly in various complex situations. Such a digital course is particularly important for those who wish to raise their language proficiency to a higher level but lack the opportunity to participate in traditional language courses.

State-funded free e-learning is a rapidly growing sector that makes quality education accessible regardless of place of residence or financial situation. The addition of the new C1 level course complements the existing range of learning materials and supports both non-Estonians living in Estonia and Estonian language enthusiasts living abroad.
