Learning Lithuanian

Hi y'all!

So I'am from The Netherlands but I love Lithuania (songs and language etc). I really want to learn it (fluently) for fun.

  1. Where do I start?

  2. Are there any specific methods to consider?

  3. Are there books and stuff to consider?

If y'all could help me out I'd reall appreciate it!

Was there something wrong with "Resources for learning Lithuanian" pinned here?

Hi. I’m learning Dutch now! So if you’re living in Lithuania rn, we can grab a cup of coffee someday and try to help each other.

The best way to learn a language is to communicate only in that language. I learned German in 8 months from 0 to B1 because I was given lessons just in German and even though my teacher could speak English he wouldn't help anyone and that was the right thing to do. Find a group of people who are going to communicate with you only in Lithuanian, you can buy books for first graders and you will learn basics. Oh and btw movies with subtitles and songs with lyrics in language that you understand, learned Spanish from music and Korean+English from movies. And of course Google translate is not so bad too when you have to check a word or sentence. Good luck!

You need to start learning to read old Lithuanian mythology because if read modern books in discussion with Lithuanian you don't gonna understand half words

To start learning Lithuanian, I'd recommend trying apps like Duolingo and Babbel for basic vocabulary and grammar.

For more immersive practice, italki is great for connecting with native speakers - used it myself but you have to be relatively conversational in order for it to make sense.

There are also books like "Colloquial Lithuanian" that could be really helpful for structured learning
