Practice a 에스토니아어 Doctor's Appointment
Visiting the doctor in 에스토니아어 is high-stakes and high-value: getting your symptoms across precisely matters, and the medical vocabulary is mostly Latin-based across European languages. This scenario rehearses a general practitioner's appointment from check-in to prescription: describing symptoms with body parts and intensity, mentioning allergies and existing conditions, understanding the doctor's explanation, and reading a prescription. You'll practise the formal register doctors use, plus the verbs for pain, duration, and frequency. By the end, you'll handle a routine 에스토니아어-speaking appointment without needing a translator.

자주 묻는 질문
How do I describe pain levels in 에스토니아어?
Use the 에스토니아어 equivalent of 'mild, moderate, severe', plus 'sharp', 'dull', 'stabbing'. The vocabulary list covers this nuanced spectrum.
Will my 에스토니아어-speaking doctor speak English?
Often yes in big cities, often no in smaller towns. Even when they do, knowing the basic 에스토니아어 medical vocabulary helps you describe symptoms more accurately.
How do I ask about side effects of medication in 에스토니아어?
There's a specific construction — 'What are the side effects?' — that the scenario teaches. Pharmacists often answer this more thoroughly than doctors.
