Before visiting Lithuania you may want to learn how to say “hello”, “thank you”, “how could I find this and that” or maybe even more – to keep up a conversation in one of the oldest language in the world – Lithuanian.
Students coming to Lithuania for studies or traineeship can participate in Lithuanian Language and Culture Summer Course. The course (including trips and excursions) is free of charge for Erasmus+ programme students. Find more information about the course HERE.
To assist you with learning Lithuanian language we offer you to try some of the learning tools available online:
