Foreigners integration

One of the major obstacles that the new arrivals encounter is not being able to speak the language. It is quite difficult to learn the Lithuanian language; however, it is worth learning it if one wants to stay in Lithuania for a longer time. Several institutions organize courses in the Lithuanian language, and most them are in Vilnius.

Online classes

One can get initial knowledge of the Lithuanian language while learning on the Internet, for example, on the websites loescen.comsurfacelanguages.com or flyent.online.

There is also a free and interactive tool Let’s be Friends which teaches to read, listen, understand, speak and write in Lithuanian. The course has been developed to work with a teacher who himself / herself starts a group for registered students, makes virtual appointments, communicates directly, and checks open-type tasks.
