    Lithuanian language is extremely heard to learn in general for an English speaker but speak in this smoothly it’s impossible. He nailed I’m so impressed!

    I wonder is it as noticeable to the outsiders how much Lithuania has changed in the short amount of time we have been free from the soviets, like the 1990s to 2020s all we have now as a free country is 30 years, but i feel like we made great strides to become a nice country to live in.

    Wow, I visited several years ago and found the language impossible!
    Nice work, sir. I also used a little Russian, which wasn't advisable as I found out...(but some Russians were impressed)
    A man in the Vilnius market comically told me they "spoke English when drunk because Lithuanian was too hard."
    Hope to visit again.

    Alaskan here, very similar weather, long darkness in winter, endless daylight in summertime, and yes snow fog is real, always strange to meet people who don't know about it. It also is 95f in summer and -65f in winter.
    Our food is different tho, Caribou, Moose, Yak, Bear, Salmon, Cod, Halibut, King Crab, Clams, Mussels, Oysters, Scallop, Shrimp, and LOTS of blueberries and raspberries, oh and your typical veggies like radish, bell pepper, onion, tomato, potato ect. So we are different in that regard. We eat a lot of eggs too, and coffee is basically a religion here.
    I wish we had public transportation like that here, though many Alaskan cities have excellent public transportation, but since our state is the size of Western Europe and stretches all the way from the artic circle, to just north of Vancouver Canada, then stretches to Japan, and also over half our towns and villages do not have roads or any way to access them other than airplane, ATV, or snow machine, it just isn't practical. You're fortunate if Walmart is under 3 hours away lol. It is hard to describe just how huge this state is, and yet we have 1/3 the population of Lithuania.
    Anywho the reason for my comment is I have several very dear Lithuanian friends, and I agree their food is delicious and their country is incredibly beautiful, I love Lithuania, however all the Lithuanians I know greatly dislike the Soviet Union and communist Russia or Russia in general....so I was surprised to hear you talk with Lithuanians who have fondness of communism. In fact the Lithuanians I'm very close friends with also greatly dislike NATO for the simple fact that the Soviet Union invaded and conquered Lithuania in 1940 and the Allies did absolutely nothing about it, but they appreciate the defense it offers against Russia. Hence why they have not gone to the extreme far left culturally like the rest of western Europe has. Now admittedly my Lithuanian friends are younger and in their twenties so perhaps it's a generation thing? Just curious.
    Thank you so much for your video! Much love to Lithuania from Alaska!

    Both maternal grandparents from Lithuania. Mom could speak the language. My grandfather, born in 1887 ( under Russian Empire) spoke Russian, Lithuanian, Polish and some German. I don't know how Lithuanian language ( and the Catholic church) survived Russification before WW1.

    • @JimM-zs8ul
      @JimM-zs8ul Год назад +2

      Pretty much the same here, my grandparents on my mother's side emigrated from LT to the US in 1918. My mother was about 3-years old at the time. My grandparent on my mother's side spoke no English, so I did not really learn any Lithuanian from them. It is quite hard to imagine all that these wonderful people in LT as well as Latvia and Estonia have lived through and how they managed to survive in the way that they have. Quite inspirational in my opinion. Someone once referred to them as the little guy that wouldn't quit. I believe that to be very true.

  • @draugami

    Thank you for your video. There are idioms in Lithuanian or sayings. My mother told me alot. I.e. I tripped on a sidewalk crack and she asked "Is a musician buried there?" I appeared to start to dance. (No one from the present generation knows about them.)
    Yes, Latin and Lithuanian share much in grammar. All the various cases (linksmai) and genders of words are common.

    That's a pretty accurate and detailed description of Lithuania. Well done and thank you. I could not point out almost anything I would disagree with. Perhaps except the public transport :D While it may look good in the context of comparable American cities, especially other than NYC or Chicago, it is a bit shit compared to most other European nations. Even compared to Poland and Belarus let alone Germany or Netherlands.
