Learning Used to Be Hard
Ten years ago, there were almost no resources for Lithuanian. Now, we are lucky.
1. LietuCoach (Best for Offline/Speaking)
Okay, we are biased. But for offline practice and audio-first learning, we built this specifically because gaps existed.
- Pros: Offline, native audio, focus on pronunciation.
- Cons: It's an app, not a grammar textbook.
2. LRT Mediateka (Best for Immersion)
The national broadcaster (LRT) puts everything online.
- Tip: Watch "Gustavo Enciklopedija" (kids show) or news summaries.
- Pros: Authentic, high quality.
- Cons: No subtitles usually. Hard for A1.
3. Debesyla (Best for Grammar)
A fantastic blog about Lithuanian grammar and lifestyle.
- Pros: Deep dives into grammar rules.
- Cons: Can be overwhelming for total beginners.
4. YouTube Channels
- Lithuanian Out Loud: The classic podcast. Hundreds of episodes.
- Talk Like Antanas: Good basic phrases.
Combine Resources
Use YouTube for listening, Debesyla for reading, and LietuCoach for Speaking. Download our app to complete the triangle.
