意味
Studying a foreign tongue.
文化的背景
Estonians celebrate 'Emakeelepäev' (Mother Tongue Day) on March 14th. It's a day of pride for the language. Because Finnish and Estonian are so similar, many Finns think they don't need to 'õppima' Estonian, but the 'false friends' make it tricky. In the tech hubs like Telliskivi, 'keelt õppima' is a common topic of conversation among international workers. The University of Tartu is the heart of Estonian language study. 'Tudeerima' is a common word used there.
The Partitive Rule
Always remember the 't' at the end of 'keelt'. Without it, the sentence sounds incomplete to an Estonian ear.
Don't say 'keeles'
Saying 'Ma õpin eesti keeles' means you are studying a subject like math using Estonian as the medium.

If an Estonian switches to English, just keep speaking Estonian. They will appreciate the effort!
