Oh, this is so great! Welcome to Vilnius, Lithuania and Lithuanian language! :) If you need any help – feel free to ask.

Thank you so much. Well soon I will start posting in Lithuanian, publishing videos of me speaking and audio files. So I will need lot of native support :)

I think my biggest problem is that I try to pronounce lithuanian like finnish.

I still haven't figure it out where to put the stress into words but I am finding my way…the mystery will be solved :)

I'm sure you'll do great!

There's nothing in the world like immersion + motivation!

A bit more than a month into my project and when I talk I get the "It's impossible you have been studying only a month, it can't be, you are so talented with languages, lithuanian is the 3rd most difficult language in the world, can't be you can say so much!"

And indeed I can't say that much but I speak….a lot :D

take a look at this:

I haven't found anything else. I'll follow your mission! I started learning lithuanian but soon I was very disappointed with my 'human motivation'  :/

by the way, did you download the link?
Would you like to practice lithuanian on chat? We can write very basic stupid grammar things, just to keep the flow.
If you downloaded the files…would you like to share them?
I can exchange them with lot of human motivation :) :)

I haven't downloaded, I had access denied at work ;). I can try later today and send you?

I'm really on the level of knowing 'yes', 'no', 'I speak' and 'I don't understand', 'sir' and 'lady', just the level of a few Pimsleur course's lessons… ;) and then my human motivator was gone, hmm… ;)

I found the list downloaded and you have no idea how much I like you right now! The list inspired me so much and now I am working on a bigger project!

 

Pimsleur is great, I started with that. But I never finished…the course is slow and not challenging enough

Prašom :) my pleasure :) this kind of lists inspires me as well, it looks so organised and easy to follow. I would never have an idea to search for them, if it wasn't for Benny, who suggested searching 'X most common words in Y' according to 80/20 principle :)

tell us what a Bigger Project is :)

I think Pimsleur is great and terrible simultaneously ;) it made me wanna go and speak at once (my norwegian), but I agree the amount of words/phrases you learn with it is rather miserable. not even mentioning, that I wouldn't be able to write to you even the simplest prašom if I hadn't worked with other materials

Hey, that is awesome. I happen to be Lithuanian (actually you probably must be using one of my sites: the one with the verb conjugator, I think you should know what I'm talking about) so should you need help with Lithuanian, feel free to contact me (just do my nickname @ gmail com).

Coolconjugator is one of the coolest thing I found to study lithuanian :)

I need lot of help, just sent you an email :D
