keeletäienduse

Keeletäiendus is an Estonian term that translates to "language enrichment" or "language enhancement." It generally refers to activities and resources designed to improve a person's proficiency and depth of knowledge in a particular language, beyond basic conversational skills. This can encompass a wide range of efforts, from formal study to informal practice.

The concept often applies to individuals who already possess a foundational understanding of a language and wish to advance their vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, or fluency. It might involve reading more complex literature, engaging in specialized discourse, studying idiomatic expressions, or refining pronunciation and stylistic nuances. For Estonian speakers, keeletäiendus can be particularly relevant when learning foreign languages, aiming to achieve a higher level of mastery. Conversely, it can also refer to efforts to enrich and preserve the Estonian language itself, through the development of new terminology or the promotion of its proper usage.

Keeletäiendus is a proactive approach to language learning, emphasizing continuous development and a deeper connection with the language. It acknowledges that language acquisition is an ongoing process, not a destination.
