Looking for Lithuanian language course

Ilta

Can someone recommend me some good materials for learning the Lithuanian language?

It can be app, online or books, but I can not find anything good and do not know where to look 🤯

It is! But @John

can share with you!

It's not so easy to find good resources, none of the big apps like Duolingo or Busuu include Lithuanian in their list of languages.

Simply - is one app that does, it's not bad.

I also tried 17 Minute Languages a couple of years ago, and it has a lot of words but isn't really great at teaching grammar or sentence building.

True, and try looking for Latvian, it is even worse!

I'm going to need one of these as well, and I could not find anything that I could get along with so far. I'm going to take a look at these two, thanks!

I used Simply before not for Lithuanian language but another one and it was quite ok.

There is Lithuanian on Ling - ling-app.com

I've just tried this out and was getting a bit into it. Then I quite quickly completed the first two units and hit the paywall.

You really don't get much free content before you have to upgrade to 'pro'.

Yes, it is not easy to find them. Duolingo has Klingon and Valarian but it does not have any Baltic languages!

Ilta

Thank you everybody, I will try those apps out 😃

I found the same thing with a lot of the smaller apps. It is why duolingo and busuu are great, you can pay for extra stuff and it is good but you can learn the language for free really. These others the content is ok but the system is maybe not so good and you have to pay for it early before you know if it really will give you what you need.

Yes it is so, I tried to use it now to learn Italian but had the same and changed to duolingo for it.

I'm also interested, willing to pay for an app or service but want to be sure that it's actually useful and high quality before I spend much.

Ilta

I found as well some courses on Memrise but did not try them out yet.

Ilta I've looked at Memrise and need to go back and check it out more thoroughly. It seems like a real mix of content there, some great and some much poorer.

I will take the sensible route of letting @Stasys-Girskis try them out and get upset with them all and then ask him which one is the best before I try using it.

Maybe trying some live courses would be a good thing too. It is not free, but usually commitment is stronger.

I love this plan, if he can be kind enough to share his findings then I can also be happy about it.

I'm open to suggestions if you have any recommendations?

I will make sure that he does 🙂
