Estonia’s large Russian-speaking minority used to be taught in Russian. The government has responded to Russia’s invasion with a reform to end this. Now, lessons will only be taught in Estonian.

    I think that’s a great way to learn the language though. Exposure drives learning a language.

    Learning it as a foreign language is much less efficient than learning it in all areas.

    They may need more support given no support at home. Still, seems like a big plus to me.

      You are waaaaay too optimistic about this, and honestly given how this is ideologically driven as a knee jerk reaction I have my doubts that the teachers and school administrators will try their best to help these children.
