väliskeeltega

Väliskeeltega refers to the concept of foreign languages in Estonian. It encompasses the study, learning, and use of languages other than Estonian. This can include a wide range of languages spoken globally, such as English, German, French, Russian, and many others. The importance of learning foreign languages is often emphasized for personal development, academic pursuits, and professional opportunities in an increasingly interconnected world.

The Estonian education system typically incorporates foreign language instruction from an early age, with English being the most commonly taught second language. Other languages are also offered, depending on the school and student interest. Beyond formal education, many Estonians engage with foreign languages through media, travel, and online resources. Proficiency in foreign languages can significantly broaden access to information, cultural experiences, and international collaboration. The term itself, "väliskeeltega," directly translates to "with foreign languages," highlighting the active engagement and interaction with these linguistic systems. Understanding and using foreign languages is a key aspect of global citizenship and intercultural communication.
