I would recommend Indrek Hargla Apothecary Melchior saga. It is about medieval apothecary who solves crimes in medieval Tallinn. He likes to drink some nice herbal snapps and he has also his own demons. Books are good because Hargla is very experienced author who has written a lot of sci-fi and now crime novels, too. These novels are written nowadays so it's more easier to understand them for foreign (than maybe some old time authors) and descriptions of medieval town is rather visual and include nice knowledge about medieval culture and everyday life. And crime stories are quite strong.

First novel of the saga is below:

> 1) I will be working 9 to 5 and wondered if there are Estonian language classes in evenings or over the weekend? Something slow and not too intensive (I am not good at learning new languages).

If you need any material I've been told that this might be a good book - http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415450546/

You might be able to get it delivered from here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0415450543 (they have a Kindle version as well) or any other shop.

May I ask you what's your native language? As far as I know most of the language schools teach you Estonian if you're Russian native, so a book like that might be your best option.

> 2) Are there sites which collate information on goods (price, cost of delivery, etc) and present it in a nice format (such as www.salidzini.lv[1] )? If not then which are the better online goods stores in Estonia?

Is this what you are looking for?

hv.ee

arvutid24.ee

> 3) Are there any deals sites such as www.groupon.com[2] ?

cherry.ee

> 4) Are there any online grocery stores such as www.coles.com.au[3] ?

e-maxima.ee

Although I am by no means an expert on the subject, I did find one book that might be of interest. While I am unsure how much relevant historical data and information (if at all) it might have, it's not too expensive to check out.

Doing Business with Estonia
by Marat Terterov and Jonathan Reuvid

https://www.amazon.com/Doing-Business-Estonia-Marat-Terterov/dp/1905050224

I am assuming the students of EBS (Estonian Business School) have means to study the economic history of Estonia, but might be using in-house materials not available to general public. I do hope someone chimes in if that's the case.

Good luck with your assignment!

I started with 'Saame Tuttavaks!'. https://kirjastus.tea.ee/eng/categories/ilmumas/?productID=1964
It has 4 CD's with it, but is also a really confusing book and from what I understand also somewhat silly with the 'cultural insight' it tries to give you on understanding Estonians.

Others have mentioned keeleklikk which I think is a great place to start especially because you will be hearing Estonian from the beginning. It was only recently that they added content for English speakers ( the site was meant original for the Russian population in Estonia) so not all the lessons are up- they just, only about a month ago made the next few segments live.

If you aren't on Livemocha you should be, since the content is generated by the users you hear many different voices and it also includes tasks for you to simply read a paragraph in Estonian and have another user give you feedback.

Textbookwise the best I think for a native English speaker is the Estonian Textbook by Juhan Tuldava (it has no audio component though)
http://www.amazon.com/Estonian-Textbook-Exercises-Conversation-University/dp/0933070349

EDIT: clarity + Laar's book was cheaper on rahvaraamat.ee

Alternatively, Mart Laar's (historian, politician and former PM) short paperback is available on the cheap from an Estonian book store but is more geared towards the casual reader. There are more books [on their website] (http://www.rahvaraamat.ee/c/estonian-history/1/6/15/62/en#/activeTab=tab02) if you want to check out more options.

If Amazon is your sole available means of acquiring said book, I would go with /u/daedalus_x's suggestion or expand the scope and go with Kasekamp's book that covers the history of all three Baltic countries. Kasekamp is a noted historian and foreign policy scholar currently heading the Estonian Institute of Foreign Policy.

Worth noting almost all these books end with Estonia's accession to the EU and NATO, not WW2.

Progress ise mõraneb või lääne inimeste usk progressi mõraneb?

Igatahes, soovitaks lugeda raamatut nimega Rational Optimist:

> For two hundred years the pessimists have dominated public discourse, insisting that things will soon be getting much worse. But in fact, life is getting better—and at an accelerating rate. Food availability, income, and life span are up; disease, child mortality, and violence are down all across the globe. Africa is following Asia out of poverty; the Internet, the mobile phone, and container shipping are enriching people's lives as never before.

> In his bold and bracing exploration into how human culture evolves positively through exchange and specialization, bestselling author Matt Ridley does more than describe how things are getting better. He explains why. An astute, refreshing, and revelatory work that covers the entire sweep of human history—from the Stone Age to the Internet—The Rational Optimist will change your way of thinking about the world for the better.

So I can safely order this https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B00PEU9CFA/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1X6FK5RDHNB96&psc=1
Without paying anything else except for delivery?

I assume that you want that book to be in English?

From contemporary writers I would recommend Andrus Kivirähk "Mees kes teadis ussisõnu" https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Spoke-Snakish/dp/0802124127

But to get the best view of Estonian literature I would recommend classic Tammsaare "Tõde ja õigus" http://dspace.ut.ee/bitstream/handle/10062/44047/TruthandJustice_final.pdf

Both are in English, but as I have only read Estonian versions, I don't know how good the translations are.

This one is pretty much the most ubiquitous one

It might be a safe bet to get those SIM cutters just in case.

Or use a template

Google "2D glasses", something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Hank-Greens-2D-Glasses-Turns-movies/dp/B004X4L1UC

USAs kutsutakse neid cuckservative'deks. Räägivad küll kõvasti et on konvservatiivsed, aga lagunevad liberaalide ja sotside jõu all nagu selgrootud.

Kui tahad ise teha, pead ostma endale sihukese jubla: https://www.amazon.co.uk/External-USB-Video-Capture-Card/dp/B008F0SARC . Alla 40€ kanti jäävad need, kui sul on tundide kaupa materjali siis targem oleks see osta. Näiteks allpool mainitud küsib 3€ tunni kohta, kui sul on 10 tundi videot siis see on juba 10€ kallim kui see vidin.

See vä: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Orange-480-Fastrack-Game/dp/B004P0ZGDM

Justin Petrone wrote a whole book about that.

Pealinnas vihmaga näinud küll nii mehi ja naisi vihmamantlitega sõitmas ( mitte 2 euriste kile omadega, pigem sellistega : https://www.amazon.com/LOMON-Waterproof-Lightweight-Portable-Raincoat/dp/B07H6G6NSJ?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_10 ). Ei usu, et väga ebamugav.

Elronis vahest ja vaata, et liiga külm ei ole veel ( jälle probleem :D )

> Personally I don't share this obsession with tanks at all, I would much rather spend the money on anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons and save up for our own fighter jets.

Tanks are the most cost-effective anti-tank weapons. Some issues with alternatives (such as man-portable missiles) are well summarized in Edward Luttwak's Strategy, also available in Estonian, see this snippet.

Check closely the price that you see at the checkout (the very last step). There you will see the final price with all charges/taxes.

As an example, I have two amazon.de accounts - one for my private purchases and other for my company (VAT-registered) purchases.

Let's use this camera as an example product.

Currently on the product page I see price 241 EUR.

When I add it to basket using my private account, I see Postage - 12.54, VAT - 43.01, and total price - 258.07.

When I add it to basket using my company account, I see Postage - 15.05, VAT - 0, and total price - 217.57.

So when you buy as a private person, you just pay the price you see in the checkout and nothing in Estonia. When you buy a as a company, you also pay the price at the checkout but instead of paying German/French VAT, you pay VAT in Estonia.

No see ei ole otseselt usklik raamat, tundub mulle, vaid pigem ajalooline-analüüsiv. Amazonis ka kõrged hinded - http://www.amazon.com/Cult-Saints-Function-Christianity-Religions/dp/0226076229

Olen ise sama asja kogenud ja sinust paar aastat vanem. Isiklikust kogemusest:

1. Mindfulness / meditation aitab väga palju, kui seda iga päev 10-15min teha. Sam Harrise app on kõige parem. See on teaduslik fakt, et mindfulness muudab aju ühendusmustreid.
   
2. Liikumine on oluline. 15-20min, kui hommikul esimese asjana teha, on suureks abiks. Kui aga see harjumus puudub, siis on end väga raske seda tegema saada, eriti kui samal ajal ise augus oled. Uuri mindhacke, kuidas omaenda aju "cheatida", et uksest välja saada. Minu puhul on aidanud kõige rohkem see, et ma jagan ülesande tükkideks. Ma ei lähe mitte välja jooksma, vaid panen lihtsalt Ühe jooksutossu jalga. Siis teise. Siis teen ukse lahti. Jne.
   
3. Aju on samamoodi füüsiline organ, nagu maks või neerud. Kui inimesel on maks haige, siis ei ole tavaliselt mingit probleemi rohu võtmisega. Miks siis ajuga teisiti peaks olema? Depressioon / ärevus on kõik füüsilised probleemid - neid tekitab mingi aine üleküllus või liialt madal seis ajus. Kui selleks on vajadus, siis rohud on täiesti okei lahendus. Kindlasti võta sel teemal arstiga ühendust.
   
4. Alkoholist ja tubakast hoia eemal. Ma jätsin alkoholi joomise veebruaris maha ja see on mu elu väga palju paremaks teinud, igas valdkonnas. Ajule on alkohol mürk - iga klaas vähendab prefrontal cortexis ajurakke, mis ei kasva enam kunagi tagasi. Lisaks on alkohol ise depressant.
   
5. Kõige parem kombinatsioon on rohud + teraapia. Teraapiat on mitu eri liiki - Kognitiivne teraapia, Pereteraapia jne. Ärevuse vastu tavaliselt soovitatakse kõige rohkem kognitiivset teraapiat. Selle jaoks on ka hea raamat - "The New Mood Therapy".
