Töö

Töö is a lovely Estonian word which has a phonetic representation that somehow perfectly reflects its semantic meaning of "work." Some of you wonder if I really do any töö between taking pictures of the snow and socializing. For those that are interested in this other side of my life, the one that leads to international travel and intercultural dialogues -- the one that I find fascinating, challenging, intriguing, and sometimes controversial, I share with you the following links for you to navigate and test your Estonian skills:

University of Tartu Newspaper article about internationalization and English language support for faculty and staff (in Estonian)

The crux of my 8-5 (yeah, right!) and spring course offerings at UT

Any brilliant ideas, comments, suggestions, or ready-made curricula/syllabi/lesson plans are welcomed!
