Elvyra taught my class in 2003! I also got placed into the A2 class. I am headed back to the class this year, 21 years later. I loved Elvyra.

3:35 This one is pretty straight-forward for Polish speakers (myself included), since the same concept exists even there (turiu mašinĄ vs. neturiu mašinOS & mam maszynĘ vs. nie mam maszynY).

You have my greatest respect and full support for persisting with one of the hardest Indo-European languages! I think I knew your LT level would be higher since your LT pronunciation is so good. I understand it's hard for you to find time, but I'd love to see you trying more language courses and comparing them. We all could benefit from honest reviews about LT.

Great to know! seems like i could consider spending all my 4 weeks of mandatory holidays by living in vilnius for a month and take this course, lol I already had a 2 week long crashcourse with elvyra in berlin which they're offering once a year and I learned a very lot.

For what it's worth, I also didn't attend all the cultural lectures/trips/extras and I was doing it in my holiday! But I had already been living in Vilnius for 10 months or so by that point AND I'd been studying at VU for all of that time, so it didn't seem so interesting to go on a tour of the university for example. I imagine people who'd never been to Lithuania before were really the ones to benefit from everything - in fact, I think the longer you spent in Lithuania, the less you got out of the cultural lectures etc. 😅

I have learned the hard way that a language course is like taking off in a plane. You have to keep investing time and constantly use what you learned.

It is for some reason very surreal to see a KZbinr I watch attending classes in the same Auditorium where I myself have classes and choir rehearsals :DD (btw, I'm talking about the same choir that performed for the crowd next to the presidential palace leading up to Biden's speech - you filmed us a tiny bit in your video :DD) Be proud of yourself - you are absolutely moving in the right direction! Learning Lithuanian will only be easier from here - in the sense that it will become more and more unavoidable in your life, as you start raising a child here. My guess is that Lithuania Explained Jr. will learn Lithuanian quite quickly, as children do, and Lithuanian will gradually become the main language of communication in your household. Or at least that is what I wish for your family! Good luck, keep practicing, ask your wife and Lithuanian friends to have Lithuanian-only days with you (a VERY effective method of language learning), start reading very basic children books (there's even books that have Lithuanian on the left page and English on the right one, so you can constantly check what it is that you're reading. They're called "Pasaulio pasakos lietuviškai ir angliškai", here's a photo I found online on how the inside of such a book looks like: bit.ly/45sGcuC ) and watch LRT whenever you can :DD I can't wait to see more updates and perhaps even a Lithuanian-only video. Didžiausios sėkmės!

I’ve applied for the winter course, let’s hope that one is as good too. The genitive case for negatives is actually consistent, our lecturer from UK explained that it’s “the thing you don’t have” for example.

3:31 - welcome to my nightmare! :) I STILL can't get anyone to explain that to me in a way I understand, so, I kinda gave up trying to figure it out. I take a wild guess in situations like that, and, well, I'm right 50% of the time, lol. 10:23 - Virginia representing! :) Fellow Virginian from the RVA (real virginians will get that one, lol) - keep up the good work!

So do the lecturers/teachers all speak english? I am interested in taking a course as I have been finding it difficult to learn by myself. I think it would be a nice way to meet other internationals too
@LithuaniaExplained Жыл бұрын
Yes the instructional language is English. Whether or not you make good connections with other internationals will entirely depend on who else registers and their openness to connecting with others. For example, the young Americans tended to stick together, as did some Ukrainians who registered together.

😆
@manometras Жыл бұрын
It could be a phenomen from the Finnougric languages even. Turiu telefoną is I have a phone, I have a whole thing. Subject (who?) Verb (what do I do, what is going on) Object (what is the thing the subject and the verb have direct effect on in its entirety?). I have the whole phone. Aš neturiu telefono is the structure of the Subject the negated verb and the partitive (the Part of the Object). When you say I do not have any phone it means I have not even a smallest part of a phone in my hands. It"s another case. 😅
