Hi there, I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  Today we’ll start the show off with a very nice email, then on to another awesome installment of Agnė iš Vilniaus.  Thank you Agnė for taking the time to record this for us.  Starting with today’s episode we’re going to do a series of programs on numbers.  It may not be the most exciting stuff we can offer, but we have to go over it sometime, so we’ll do it now.  Also, we’re up to 33 positive reviews on the Lithuanian Out Loud iTunes page, thanks to everyone for helping us with these.  Remember, our goal is 50 so we only need 17 more.  Can you help us out?  Thanks!  Enjoy the program and here is an email from Lithuania… Dear Jack and Raminta: I thought you might like to know that our Lithuanian professor, Radvyda Vasvilaitė, sent us your link when she sent us her class schedule.  LCC International University has a large number of new North American professors every year who try to learn as much Lithuanian as they can.  Your entertaining podcasts keep my mind busy while I do housework and other boring jobs. Thank you! Geri Henderson, PhDChair, English DepartmentLCC International UniversityKlaipėda, Lithuania Thanks Geri for the nice words and we’ll try to keep the episodes coming.  Okay, Agnė, your turn, take it away!!! Hi, I am Agnė, and welcome back for some more Lithuanian phrases. If you see any angry Lithuanian, you could ask him: kodėl tu toks piktas kaip širšė? - Why are you as angry as a wasp?Lithuanians have a lot of expressions with the word angry - piktas. But let's start from the very beginning.Here is a vocabulary for "angry expressions" kodėl? - why?toks - such, sotoks... kaip... - as... as...piktas, pikta - angryširšė - waspragana - witchvelnias - devilnebūti - to not benebūk - don't be and here are the expressions: Piktas kaip širšėPikta kaip širšėPiktas kaip velnias Pikta kaip ragana                        Let's say them one time slowly: Piktas kaip širšė - As angry as a wasp - if you are addressing a malePikta kaip širšė - As angry as a wasp - if you are addressing a femalePiktas kaip velnias - As angry as the devil - commonly is used for a male, but it is not a mistake to say pikta kaip velnias, addressing a femalePikta kaip ragana - As angry as a witch - commonly is used for a female, but it is not a mistake if you wold use it for a male, saying piktas kaip ragana Let's go over some examples: Kodėl jis toks piktas? - Why is he so angry?Kodėl jis toks piktas kaip širšė? - Why is he as angry as a wasp?Kodėl ji tokia pikta? - Why is she so angry?Kodėl ji tokia pikta kaip ragana? - Why is she as angry as a witch?

Enjoy it and don't be angry :) Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today we’re in the month of September which in Lithuanian is rugsėjis. In the navy a submarine tender is a ship that supplies and supports submarines.  In 1961 when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were still forceably part of the Soviet Union, Captain Jonas Pleškys sailed his submarine tender out of Klaipėda and into the Baltic Sea.  Soviet authorities had ordered the ship to travel to Tallinn, Estonia but Jonas sailed to Gotland, Sweden and defected to the west.  The Soviet Union convicted Ponas Jonas in absentia and his sentence was death by firing squad.  Jonas died in California in 1993 of old age. His story is believed to be the basis for Tom Clancy’s book The Hunt for Red October.  In the book and in the movie submarine captain Marko Ramius is known as, “The Lithuanian.”  The submarine captain sails his ship to the west and defects. Just an interesting bit of trivia; in the beginning of the book Captain Marko Ramius kills his KGB political officer.  The Soviet officer’s name?  Ivan Putin.  That’s funny.  pradėkime, let’s get started Now we’re going to study something I didn’t understand for a very long time.  Numbers that end in the number one.  For example, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91, 101, 11,391, 635,271, excluding 11.  Eleven is the only number that doesn’t follow this pattern.

Hi there, this is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  I’m recording this introduction about one hour prior to this week’s podcast release.  At the moment Raminta is on a train from New York City to Washington D.C. and next week she’ll be back home and I’m excited about that! In a previous episode we featured LCC International University in Klaipėda, Lithuania.  Today we have a guest from a completely different university.  Today we’d like to welcome to the show Virginija Jurgaitytė from Klaipėda University – not to be confused with LCC.  Virginija was very gracious to take a half hour out of her schedule.  She tells us about the university and, of course, helps us with the vocabulary.  Thank you again Virginija for coming on the show.  It was very kind of you. Just so you know, Virginija and I did speak a little in Lithuanian at the end of the episode but Raminta isn’t here right now to help me transcribe the conversation.  I’d hate to make some mistakes so you won’t find the conversation on this podcast episode.  I’ll add this conversation to an episode in two weeks. As I mentioned in last week’s episode, the Skype audio quality isn’t great but I’ve listened to this episode a few times and I don’t think it’s terrible.  You should be able to understand it just fine.  Klaipėda University sounds great.  If you decide to go there and study, make sure you say hello to Virginija and mention us here on Lithuanian Out Loud. As you go through this episode keep in mind nationalities are not capitalized – that’s something I forgot.  Thanks for correcting me Virginija. Okay, thanks a million to everyone who gave us some new reviews on iTunes.  We’re up to 22 positive reviews and our goal is 50.  We’re almost halfway there.  If you have a moment, please consider giving us a review on our iTunes page. Thanks also to our dear friend Danielle of Sydney, Australia for helping us with the, “where is Lithuania,” street interviews.  Danielle, you’re so awesome. And finally, I’ve got a question for you.  Have you ever been able to use your Lithuanian with a native speaker?  Tell us about it on the Lithuanian Out Loud blogpage.  If you’ve never left us a comment on the blogpage this is how you do it.  Just go to our blogpage at www.lithuanian.libsyn.com and look at the most recent episode at the top of the page.  Just scroll down to the bottom of the most recent episode and you’ll see the word, “comments.”  Click on the comments with your mouse and you’ll see the latest episode again.  Scroll down to the bottom of this page and you’ll see a section where you can leave your comments.  After typing your comments just type in the two words displayed in the captcha box and click, “submit comment.”  It’s that easy. Okay, that’s just about it.  Let’s get to today’s episode and next week we’ll have another guest host.  A native Lithuanian speaker who lives in and teaches in Los Angeles, California in the United States. On with the show!  Enjoy! Laba diena!  (good day)Labą dieną!  (good day)Kaip jums sekasi? (how are you?)Labai gerai, kaip jums? (very good, how are you?)Sveikas kaip morka, ačiū (healthy as a carrot, thanks)Labai geraiSo, how is your day going today, Virginija?Labai gerai, šiandien (very well, today)So, can you tell me about Klaipėda University, please?Oh, what exactly do you want to know?Well, uh…It’s a big school.Why do you think students should study at Klaipėda University?Well, I don’t know why they shouldn’t – if we would talk about summer language courses, then I could say why students should come and study Lithuanian language at Klaipėda University.  Klaipėda University, I guess is the youngest in Lithuania.  It was founded in – right after independence in 1991, so it’s almost as young as the independence of Lithuania.  And then we had three faculties, just three, now we have seven, we have grown.  And we are also the only university in western Lithuania.You would say this is in the region of Samogitia?Well, if you would look historically and then culturally – now, it’s mixed, lot’s of people coming from Žemaitija, or this latin name – Samogitia, are from Žemaitija but originally this region belonged to Curonians, another Baltic tribe and also Prussians, so really it’s called like the fifth region of Lithuania – the minor Lithuania and it has its own dialect, kind of, Aukštatija (spelling) dialect.Yeah, I’ve been to Klaipėda many times – my wife is from Klaipėda and her family is there.  So, I’ve been to Klaipėda many times, it’s a charming city.Yeah, it is really, but maybe not in winter, but in summer, yes, of course.So, how many students study at Klaipėda University?About 10,000 I guess.  More and more students coming to Klaipėda and about maybe 600 teachers among them, professors with all possible degrees.And I understand that Klaipėda University is in a former Soviet Union army barracks?  Yes, exactly, but, yeah, the university got those buildings in 1993 and the Soviet army left the buildings and I guess if the soldiers, those who stayed here would come back they would never recognize them again.  It looks completely different, you know.  Interesting.  Now, many students I’m sure go to Vilnius to study, what do you think are the advantages of studying at Klaipėda University?Well, for me it’s difficult to say because I can’t speak about all the possible programs at the university.  I can’t compare Vilnius and Klaipėda and Kaunas and so on.  But, again, if you talk about, let’s say, Baltic studies, Baltic Sea studies, well, then, of course Klaipėda is the only university where you can study marine programs, sea research or sea ecology, of course, no other university can suggest to you such a program.  And also, the university has its own boat now so you can do practice.  Then talking about Lithuanian language courses – summer courses – you can imagine being here in summer and to have the sea and all those beautiful seaside shores and nature around you and combined together with studies of course Klaipėda is the best place in summer.I agree, so you have, do you have summer study programs for students who want to learn or want to study Lithuanian?Yes, we have been arranging it for seven years now - summer language courses.  Three years of those we had also Erasmus students.  Students who are studying according to European Union – in European Union city universities and can travel in European Union.  And those who chose to come to Lithuania and to study here – some of subjects – in any possible Lithuanian university – not only in Klaipėda.  But, some universities were picked to organize the summer courses.  So, Klaipėda was one of them and we had Erasmus students for three years.So, I need to stop working and come to Klaipėda to study Lithuanian then.Yes, you’re very welcome.  And we have not only Erasmus students, we have other groups at the same time.  Once we had up to sixty people, one summer.  We had two groups of Erasmus students, young people and then, those from the United States and Canada and New Zealand and Australia, and from Colombia as well.  People are coming from different countries. Hi there, I’m Jack, I’m Virginija Jurgaitytė, and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  Today we’re in the month of May which in Lithuanian is Gegužė. In Lithuanian tradition trees are treated with respect.  According to a Lituanus.org article by Elena Bradūnas, long before Christianity arrived in Lithuania, Lithuanians believed the souls of the dead would transfer themselves into a nearby tree, such as a tree near the deceased’s home or in particular, a tree near the person’s grave.  Because of this, graveyard trees are sacred and a gardener wouldn’t dream of trimming one of these for fear of causing pain and suffering to the dead. So, have you heard about this tradition Virginija?About putting a tree near the person’s grave?Yeah, and not cutting it?Not cutting it, I’m not sure.No?  Okay, just curious. Today we’ll learn how to create the plural of regular feminine nouns.  That’s to say, two cars, three days, four schools, etcetera.  Masculine nouns have to be matched to masculine numbers and feminine nouns have to be matched to feminine numbers.  We’ll go over some irregular nouns later.  To review numbers go back to episodes 0041 and 0044. To create plural nouns in vardininkas;if a feminine noun ends in –a it changes to –os.if a feminine noun ends in –ė it changes to –ės.again, all the numbers and nouns in this episode are feminine.Kaip pasakyti lietuviškai?  How do you say it in Lithuanian?

Hi there, I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  Just a quick note before we get to today’s show, so far we’ve had listeners from the nations of Lithuania, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Croatia, Ireland, Russia, Egypt, Botswana, Nigeria, Brazil, United States, Australia, Angola, and Indonesia.  This week we got some messages from new listeners and we’d like to welcome Malaysia and Belgium!  Welcome aboard guys! Also, thanks to the hundreds of you who’ve downloaded our shows, already we’ve had over 15,000 downloads of Lithuanian Out Loud episodes, that’s super.  Now, if you are one of the seven listeners who’ve left us a review on iTunes, then I’d like to personally thank all seven of you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. For the rest of you, if you are getting anything at all out of these programs, if you’d like to show your appreciation for everything you get for free – please, please go to iTunes and leave us a review.  Will you do that for us?  If you do, we’ll keep the shows coming. Okay, as we’ve said before, we’re trying hard to get more native Lithuanian speakers on the show.  If we can do it – you’ll be the first to know. ---- Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Aistė Motekaitienė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Hey!  We’re in a new month!  In English the month of March is named after the Roman God of War, Mars.  In Lithuanian this month is known as kovas.  Kovas is the Lithuanian word for rook.  A rook is a bird which is very similar to a crow.  The small black bird’s feathers sometimes appear to have a purple or bluish sheen in bright sunlight.  In the month of kovas, the kovas bird is starting to build nests and mate. According to the Wikipedia page entitled, Columns of Gediminas, one of the oldest symbols of Lithuania are the Columns of Gediminas or Gediminaičių Stulpai.  We’ll place an image of this symbol on the Lithuanian Out Loud blogpage.  This symbol was used by ancient Lithuanian rulers on coins and personal insignia. After the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania in World War II, the Columns of Gediminas were banned.  The symbol was painted or scratched on walls or fences during the occupation as a form of protest against the communist government by Lithuanian patriots. Today we have a special guest on the show, Aistė Motekaitienė, I’m sorry if I’m garbling that, from the LCC International University in Klaipėda, Lithuania.  Welcome to the show Aiste!  Thank you, my pleasure.  So, can you tell us a little bit about LCC International University? Well, it’s a North American University in Lithuania.  It’s North American because it was founded by Canadians and Americans and a majority of our faculty are volunteer faculty from North America, so we teach everything in English and we are an international university because our students come from 21 different countries. So, all of your classes are taught in English.  You don’t teach any classes in Lithuanian? We do have a Lithuanian minor for students who want to improve in their Lithuanian language or want to study the Lithuanian language, so there is a minor for that, so that’s basically – yeah, the majority of classes are taught in that minor would be taught in Lithuanian but all other classes are taught in English, yes. Okay, now just before I called you this evening I was watching the 15 minute video on the school and kind of like the mission goal of the school.  What would you describe the goal of the university? Well, we are a unique university in this part of the world because we teach from a Christian perspective and our mission is also to reach out to students who want to not necessarily just get at the knowledge, but would also want to become responsible citizens and contribute to the development of their society, of the civil society.  We’ve been in existence for 17 years now and our alumni are kind of the living proof that the mission is an important mission because, the change that they do in their job places and the comments we get back from their employers do show that we’re able to make a difference in people’s lives.  First of all in our alumni and then they can be spreading the change in their environment. When I was watching the video I got the impression that LCC International University is maybe trying to change the way that people were thinking during the Soviet era to a new era now. Yes, because when this college…at that time, which was called Lithuania Christian College was established in Lithuania, the location was also chosen strategically because Lithuania gained its independence and the college started the very first year that Lithuania became independent again and the mission of the school at that time continues to be the same, is to provide education for students from the East, from the former Soviet Union countries…because it’s the western style of education, from a very different perspective and with the Christian world, gives a new approach and a new start for young people. Okay, I see, that’s very interesting…now, how many students do you have normally? Well, we are a small school, intentionally so.  Currently we have 600 students and every semester we have in addition to the 600 students we have up to 30 study abroad students that come from U.S. colleges and universities.  We have study abroad programs where American students can come and spend a semester at LCC and transfer the credits for the same programs and then European exchange students – the same way.  So, usually about 600, up to 650 students each year. Ah, okay, and I saw somewhere on your webpage that you have a summer language institute and you have about 350 students during the summer? Yes, that’s an additional summer program for people who want to advance in English, so, just kind of as you teach Lithuanian over on your blogpage, we do English summer language institute and we have a volunteer staff – volunteer teachers that come for three weeks.  They teach adults and the high school kids English and it’s a fun summer camp, you know, there are lots of activities in the summer in Klaipėda.  We have a nice beach, so there are classes in the morning, then various activities in the afternoon so it’s a fun summertime. It sounds great.  I’m always jealous when I see a university like this and I think that it’s just too bad that I have to work for a living.  I’d like to just travel and attend university but I just can’t do that right now. I know.  All of us who have done our share of studies…you see the new generation and you wish you could repeat the same… Does your university have t-shirts?  I didn’t see anything, any place on your page where anybody can get t-shirts that say the university name, the simbolis and Klaipėda, anything like that. No, we don’t have that on the website.  We have a bookstore on campus, so if people would want to have something they could send an email to info@lcc.lt and then we would send them a catalog of what we have and then they could get what they would like. Great, I might have to get one of your t-shirts. Well, we’ll need to send you something. --- Okay, today we‘ll continue exploring galininkas or the accusative case using the preposition ”į” or “to.”  Of course, if we want to go from a place we use the genitive case or kilmininkas.  So, from Vilnius, would translate as, iš Vilniaus, and, from Kaunas, would translate as, iš Kauno, etcetera. If you need to review kilmininkas, just listen to episodes 0022, 0030, 0031, 0033, 0037, and 0039.  Let’s finish off the verb važiuoti in the present tense.  Like we said, važiuoti is the verb, to go. When you use the verb važiuoti, you’re saying, to go, to drive, or to ride, using a car, a bus, a train, a bicycle, etcetera.prašom pakartoti, please repeat… I go                                                                  aš važiuojuyou go (familiar)                                                tu važiuojihe goes                                                             jis važiuojashe goes                                                            ji važiuojawe go                                                               mes važiuojameyou go (formal)                                                 Jūs važiuojateyou all go                                                         Jūs važiuojatethey go (all males or mixed male/female group)   jie važiuojathey go (females only)                                       jos važiuoja Okay, now in this exercise, we’ll say, for example, from Vilnius to Kaunas, in English and we’ll give you a moment to say it in Lithuanian.  Then we’ll say it in Lithuanian and you’ll have a moment to repeat it.  Kaip pasakyti lietuviškai?  How do you say it in Lithuanian?
