#1 Estonian language institute

It includes hard to find explanatory dictionary that makes it easy to get detailed description of words in Estonian. That dictionary also includes most important forms (nimetav, omastav and osastav) that are must know. The use of explanatory dictionary is highly recommended for those of you, who already have basic language skills. Sure, it takes a little work to decipher the meaning of the word.

#3 Google translate

While translations of sentences are far from perfect and at times are plain wrong, this resource will be able to provide you with a rough idea about what the sentence (or a webpage) is all about. Single word translations are relatively accurate. The app is also available for your Android device.

#4 aare

http://aare.edu.ee/dictionary.html

aare.edu.ee is a very basic Estonian/English and English/Estonian dictionary available in English and Estonian. What's cool about this resource is that it provides partial matches based on your input. This in turn provides a broader overview of what other words are available along with the one you entered.

#5 e-teatmik (IT handbook)

http://vallaste.ee

While this is not exactly a dictionary, for those involved in IT, this handbook will prove to be an invaluable resource. How do you say "cloud computing" or "help desk" in Estonian? How about "3-D graphics" or an "LCD"? It is likely not what you might've thought! Enjoy this excellent handbook!
