Estonian courses

From autumn 2022, we will offer Estonian language courses at Hispaania Maja. We want to teach Estonian in the same engaging and effective way we have been teaching Spanish for the last thirteen years. In addition to learning grammar rules and vocabulary, it is important to us that the classes are fun and full of genuine emotions.
We are constantly improving ourselves in order to offer a learning experience as rich as the languages we teach. In addition to our Estonian and Spanish language courses, you'll also find a bookshop dedicated to foreign language learning, complemented by a gourmet corner full of authentic Spanish flavours.
