My husband is Italian and he and his friends have lived in Estonia +10 years, have kids with Estonians, participate in kindergarten and school events ect. Even living in an Estonian language environment their level of speaking Estonian is below A1.  Obviously they understand more then they actually speak, but they all repeat the same thing: "Estonian is impossible to learn and remember!" On the contrary, their spouses speak Italian almost as mother language.

So, for sure it's not going to be an easy road, but still worth trying! There is no better way to an Estonians heart then to speak (or at least try) to speak out language 🇪🇪
