The Estonian community in Canada is comparatively vibrant and enduring.
Activities aside, there seems to be a casual attitude to letting our familiarity with the language and culture taper off.
Yes, reading Estonian literature is as hard as hell but, it's worth the effort!
Newcomers like Grete could be of great service to us. I for one would gladly joint a group to meet once a week to discuss an Estonian novel.
Years ago, I got a 'rahvuslik süst' and started to read the Estonian part of the newspaper. Initially, it was rough going! After doing it for an hour per day for two months, it was smooth sailing! I was then ready to attack novels.
I haven't gotten to poetry yet.
