You are the best teacher, explaining the reason why is better than just learning phrases. I hope you don't stop. One of the earliest things I learnt in Spanish lessons was telling the time, asking and understanding the reply as well as informing the time of a bus or flight. It's a good reason to learn numbers and is in almost every day talk. What time is dinner? Dinners at 6pm etc. It would be so useful to have a lesson on this.
Your explanations are the best not only among videos about lithuanian, but also french (I am learning both). And I am amazed about how what i v learned with you so far is similar with russian language, both grammar and words. I am also a teacher and understand how much work you put in your work, thank you very much! Greetings from Moscow ❤
Browd, ačiū labai for these tutorials. My wife is Lithuanian and your tutorials help us connect and me learn more about her native tongue, which is beautiful and enjoyable to learn.
This will be useful, once I will watch basketball. Thank you for that. And regarding the thing you have said in 17:36, what exactly were you hoping to reach by creating the channel? What was your main motivation or goal?
One of the main reasons was that, there is a lack of channels about Lithuanian language. I use some of the same methods on my other channel where I teach English to Lithuanians and I thought - "why not do the same thing with Lithuanian" :) I reached (almost) 1000 subs rather quickly so that tells me there is demand for it :)
@@spokenlithuanian7186 Nice backstory, thank you for sharing that! I am also surprised that there is a big demand for a language, considering its amount of native speakers and small usage in the world. I started to learn it as my another language challenge, since I just liked, how the language looks (especially letters š, č & ž, which we also use and they sound identical) and sounds, since it sometimes sound like it is familiar, like someone speaking some form of Slavic language, yet words are nowhere close. My first interaction was saying to our tourist "aš kalbu lietuviškai, bet tik truputį", once I have found out he was from Lithuania. I will be happy to reach basic conversational level and stop there, in order to visit the country and be able to speak the language as a form of gratitude and respect to your history. And to experience live basketball match, since I gained obsession for the fact that this is an important part of your country, even though I do not watch sport in general.
@@RichieLarpa You should definitely try to talk more when you are in Lithuania. We are always very happy when someone tries our language. And yes, we are crazy about basketball. :)
@@spokenlithuanian7186 I will definitely talk Lithuanian, since I plan to make a vlog, where I speak only in a language of a country that I am visiting (I did 3 already). My goal is to go to a basketball match, try a traditional food in a restaurant and buy some interesting Lithuanian speciality. Is Kaunas good enough for that?
Would a "milijardas" be 1,000,000,000 or 1,000,000,000,000? I ask this question because the European numbering system is/or was different from the U.S.A. or Canadian Numbering system in that in the European numbering a Billion would be a million-million and a trillion would be a million-million-million. So a "trilijons" would be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 . So the confusion would be many magnitudes great if one got the number wrong.

The ending for numbers 11-19 is "-lika", not "-ika". Because it comes from "vienas liko, du liko, trys liko, keturi liko" and so on.
Nice. Never knew this backstory. Thank you!

I see metu also. Is it similar to metai?
It's closer to at the time of. For example: Peace - Taika. You change the case and you get "taikos metu" - "at the time of peace"
@@spokenlithuanian7186 Thanks. I'll remember that the next time I practice my reading.
Where is zero? :)
Aaaaa, I thought I had forgotten something :)) Now I have to create something with zero :D It's "Nulis" :)
write more than 100 counts and show up
Oh my god, you forgot "0"
Yep!
Rumunų kalba milijardas taip pat miliard. Tai normalu.
