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. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. 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: In Vilnius, on the eve of Joninės, the rain ceases, and the city's residents gather at the voting center. Lt: Rūta, jau dažnai dalyvavusi rinkimuose savanoriškai, šį kartą atlieka savo pareigas rinkimų dieną. En: Rūta, having often volunteered in elections, is performing her duties on election day this time. Lt: Ji dėkingai šypsosi matydama minias žmonių, besiskubančių atlikti savo pilietinę pareigą.
