Latvių Kalba, Vilniaus Kraštas ir LDK Istorija - Lithuanian Subtitles

Описание: Dear students and Lithuanian language enthusiasts,

We had a blast talking about Vilnius and Lithuanian history, starting somewhere in the 13th century and moving onwards to the present day. We also discussed many issues regarding ethnicities and ethnic borders, historical disputes with neighboring countries, and how these disputes were resolved. Because Valerijus is already fluent in Latvian, we talked about the Latvian language and provided advice for those who wish to learn it. Valerijus spoke at length about his experience learning the language, the Latvian mentality, perspective, and much more.
