Hehe, in fact I did make my original post from the capital Tallinn, where I spent most of my summer working and went to high school back in the day, but now I'm back in Tartu(2nd largest city here around 150 miles south of it) where i study aircraft maintenance. And I was actually born in Saaremaa(that bigger island, left on the map). So i basicly move around a lot between these three places, they are kinda in opposite ends of the country, but distances aint long due to our countries size.
Regarding English, almost all younger people speak it, as it's usually being taught from 3rd (or even from 1st in some schools) grade as primary 2nd language. Russian usually comes in in 5th grade, if at all. And TV helps a lot as well, as most of the stuff we watch is from US. Actually influence of TV had a really profound and noticeble effect around here in 80s, when north Estonians could see Finnish channels(no censorship, western culture and movies) and after we got independent, Finnish people visiting us were all really suprised, that how come we can all speak basic Finnish
Estonian language obviously kicks [deleted], lot of vowels and extremely difficult to learn for outsiders, considered to be one of the hardest in world in that sense.
Regarding Margus, I personally don't know him, but been following his career ever since 2006, when he did those junior world records in discus. I follow a lot of sportsmen in that sense, mostly soccer players we have scattered around the world(there is 1 even in MLS, Joel Lindpere NY Red Bulls), but this American football thing got me really excited, even more maybe after seeing that drama series "Friday Night Lights" and realizing how big this game really is in US and especially Texas.
