    I completely understand you when it comes to getting emotional over things that are supposed to be happy and uplifting. Every time I see, in this case, something about our fight for freedom, my heart swells with pride, and I can't help but cry. Seeing you, a foreigner, be moved by this so much shows the immense importance of what we did back then.

    Holy shit… I didn't know about Hong Kong Way. I wasn't into politics in 2019.
    I've just watched few short video reports about it and this is insane😟
    I think I need to learn more about the protests and Hong Kong in general.

      @@RhapsodyinLingo as a Lithuanian, I have a hope, that getting deep into Lithuanian language u`ll find out how our language, pagan traditions, lifestyle, nature and life perception, faith to freedom are related into one singularity back into times of Sanskrit, Vedas or even PIE nature. Especially, being a composer you can find a lot of mystery in Lithuanian language and folksongs. Some tips: RIMti / MIRti

    So glad to have discovered your channel! You're such a kind soul and it's always so meaningful to see people truly and profoundly connecting with other people and cultures through history and languages, especially when it's a culture that not many people know much about! I really want to learn Lithuanian because I have a lot of close friends from there and as a speaker of a Slavic language and two Romance languages already, it's encouraging to see someone else with a similar linguistic background able pick up Lithuanian so quickly! Thank you for sharing your journey because I would never have found out about the courses in Vilnius without it! All the best as you continue along your path and I'm excited to see more of your adventures!

    I enjoy the updates, especially as our language goals seem somewhat similar (hacking out polish atm, looking at getting back into lithuanian, then back into icelandic at some point if i'm still alive XD). Jurga (lithuanian singer) was part of what got me into the language :)

    I think you know that Lithuanians don't regard Russian as a lingua franca. They know Russian because they were oppressed by Russia historically.

    • @RhapsodyinLingo
      @RhapsodyinLingo  7 місяців тому +5

      Well...feelings are a thing, but the objective fact is that you have a decent chance of being understood in Russian in former Soviet areas, which is what makes it a lingua franca (I say "sort of" because obviously it's changing to English). Lots of things around the country are available in all three languages.
      Just like I'm not a big fan of the English language either, but I use it because it's understood.

    I don't know what to say exactly. Have you heared about a story couple years ago when Chinese tourist ripped off a small cross dedicated to Hong Kong at the hill of crosses at Lithuania? And then some random dude bought a cross a hundred times larger and brought it across the country to place it on the same hill?
    Some of us feel deep sadness for Hong Kong and today I share the tears with you brother. We all must thrive for Ukraine to win this war otherwise what happened to Hong Kong will come to Taiwan and to Baltics and to every other country that isn't a super power...

      @@RhapsodyinLingo it still should be there but it might be hard to find. It was hard to see when it was placed since the place is very dense and now it could be covered with smaller crosses too. Let me know if you are planning to come back in the future if so I'll try to find the cross for you, once I'm myself in Lithuania.

Though I can't figure out where else it could be. Doesn't matter. A shame my family didn't stay living in such a nice place. Priced out, I guess.
