My Signature.

yeah that's possible:) i heard it's not far away from 'parnu' or something, do you know that city?

ah pärnu...i know that...it´s our summer capital

My Signature.

tammiste? i know tammistu:D and pärnu ofcourse. it is probably really small village..what kind of volunteer work u will be doing therE?

I'll help with painting a home for the elderly, and we also have to do some other jobs, like walking with the elderly... i hope there won't be a conversation problem because i/we don't speak the estonian language:)

talking - say jaa..or mmmh..

hahhaha that´s right...that all you need

My Signature.

haha okey i'll do that:) but what's the second language from estonia, is it english, german,russian, or somethin else?

old people speak russian, young people speak english

My Signature.

russkii jasõk:D

actually...some very old people dont speak even russkii jasõk

My Signature.

are you suuure?

yes i am i know some people who cant speak it

My Signature.

Some..But most people do speak it.

actually there's no second official language, but yeah, skiso and melc are right, very old people speak only estonian, then old people speak mostly russian and then young speak mostly english

"Öö"

russian is unofficial second language, dont u know?

haha..well i said there's no official second language, but yep, russian is unofficial second language.

"Öö"

yes it´s unofficial...it can be official too..it wouldnt change anything

My Signature.

it woukd change the fact that it´s the second official language

"Öö"

if it would be official then you would have to know it, like estonian..and every work place where you apply, should demand you to know russian..and you would not want that, right?

hahhaha then only russians who speak estonian and older estonians would get jobs because we cant speak russian school doesnt help at all

My Signature.

have been learning since grade 6 and...well, must admit that my russian is lousy

"Öö"

mine too it´s so difficult...especially words..i'm cant memorize them..even if i study for hours...that´s so pathetic

My Signature.

learn it since 3rd grade..would not say that my russian is excellent but i can understand and answer normally:D

consider yourself lucky then...
and i have the same problem with words, shucks!

"Öö"

yeah you´re one of the minority who is lucky
but yeah...almost everyone has that problem...studying russian is useless..

My Signature.

im sure some students actually learn it eventually

"Öö"

i dont think so..at least i wont..i have already given up and there are many young people who have studied russian but know nothing about it

My Signature.

im telling you...a FEW will

"Öö"

FEW who are willing to LEARN meaning of learning, not just TUUPIMA
