Lithuanian language online

by dietmar Email

After I decided to go to Lithuania for one semester, I wanted to know something about the language as well. Wikipedia provides some interesting facts, like Lithuanian being quite close to what scientists think, proto-indo-european was like. Interesting enough for somebody who studied general linguistics as a minor. But if you want to learn a few words, wikipedia is not sufficient. The first thing I found was Kristina's channel on youtube:



Another website, which my Lituanian teacher showed in class is www.oneness.vu.lt. The site looks very nice and you find some phrases to read and to listen. They also provide a section which introduces the sound inventory of the Language as such. This is very interesting, if you have linguistic background.

Adaption of names

In Lithuania people use to adapt and transcribe names of persons and characters in movies and books. A typical ending for male names is -as. I found an example I like very much in Vilnius B)
