If you are to move to Estonia, not speaking the country's language means not giving the respect to its culture that it deserves. You can get by as a tourist, but settling there — what I had in mind — requires more effort than speaking one sole language.

Yep. And I'd do the same thing I did in Hungary: Learn while living there. WAYYYY easier!

I have no doubt you would. When language is just a means of communication, there's no reason to bother with it.
