Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Lithuanian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Lithuanian and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Trakai Castle, Hill of Crosses, or Curonian Spit? Maybe you want to speak Lithuanian with your grandparents from Vilnius?

En: The Vilniaus universiteto library was a place of enchanting beauty. Lt: Aukštos lentynos buvo pripildytos senoviniais leidiniais, o pro aukštus langus į vidų skverbėsi saulės šviesa, dažydama medinius stalus auksinėmis dėmėmis. En: Tall shelves were filled with ancient publications, and through the high windows, sunlight streamed in, painting the wooden tables with golden patches.
