To mark these events, students from the European School of Tallinn will read excerpts from the beloved Estonian author Andrus Kivirähk's novel "The Man Who Spoke Snakish", which has been published in 20 languages. In the game, you can hear 14 of them.
On September 25 and September 26, listen in and guess the language in an online quiz at vikerraadio.ee.
Available in Estonian and English, the quiz will be live on Vikerraadio's homepage from 7 a.m. Estonian time (UTC+3) on Thursday, and submissions will be open through 3 p.m. on Friday. The results of the quiz and the winners will be announced on Vikerraadio's afternoon programme on the European Day of Languages on Friday, 26 September 2025. The correct answers will also be posted online.
Watch the videoclip (by Erle Veber, featuring Rebeka Weiss, Astrid Katherine Salfa, Paul-Arthur Schönle).
The quiz can be taken either individually or as a class. The winner of the individual prize — a language school voucher — will be chosen by random draw among those who correctly guessed all 14 languages. One participating school class will win an organized visit to the Europa Experience at the EU House in Tallinn.
This year's language quiz is the nineth edition of the event co-organized annually by Vikerraadio, the European Commission Representation in Estonia and Tallinn European School.
Previous editions have featured songs about Pippi Longstocking and Blacksmiths as well as excerpts from "Little Red Riding Hood", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Little Prince", the Harry Potter series, and an Estonian children's book "Three Jolly Fellows" by Eno Raud. Last year children from TES read and recorded a section of a book published in one of the EU Member States in 2004 when 10 new countries joined the EU alongside Estonia.
