Are you ready to supercharge your Lithuanian listening comprehension?

Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Lithuanian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Lithuanian and English.

This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Trakai Castle, Hill of Crosses, or Curonian Spit? Maybe you want to speak Lithuanian with your grandparents from Vilnius?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic foundation needed to fully immerse yourself in the Lithuanian language, primarily spoken in the beautiful Baltic state of Lithuania. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Lithuanian listening comprehension.

Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Patobulinkite savo klausymo supratimą šiandien su mūsų lietuviškomis pasakomis!
