Hello everybody, this is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where you learn Lithuanian along with me, the beginner, and where my wife Raminta keeps us all in line.\xa0 Now, if you\u2019ve been following the last few episodes you know that Raminta\u2019s on the road right now and, honestly, when we started the Lithuanian Out Loud project we didn\u2019t expect her to be traveling nearly as much as she is.\xa0 Of course, with her being on the road so much, recording lessons is a serious challenge.\xa0 Now, we\u2019re working on some fixes like recording lessons over the phone or with Skype and some other ideas but until we perfect our yet to be discovered solution, we ask that you please bear with our technical difficulties.

One listener wrote in asking if it was possible to locate a book which conjugates a few hundred Lithuanian verbs.\xa0 You know, there are plenty of books available like that for Spanish, French, German, etc., but not so much for Lithuanian.\xa0 However, there is a book called 365 Lithuanian Verbs, but it\u2019s out of print.\xa0 It\u2019s unlikely, but you may be able to find one at an online used book store in the U.S. or Europe, but I doubt it.

Now, I don\u2019t know about other nations but in the United States you can borrow a copy through an inter-library loan at your local library.\xa0 Once it arrives, I\u2019m not saying you should make copies, but if you made your own personal photocopy and had that bound at your local Kinko\u2019s store, for your own personal use, well, I doubt if Interpol will come looking to put you in handcuffs.

Also, we\u2019d like to get more plugs from people for the show.\xa0 If you\u2019d like to drop us a plug or just give us some comments on the show, call our Skype address, Lithuanianoutloud, it\u2019s one word, and leave us a message on our voicemail.

Alright, today Raminta and I worked on this episode.\xa0 Again, the audio quality may not be perfect but for now it\u2019s all we\u2019ve got.\xa0 This lesson was inspired by a listener request and it\u2019s the first of a five or six lesson series we\u2019ll be doing on \u201clove talk."\xa0\xa0 Aaaand away we go!

Let\u2019s start off with the obvious.\xa0 How do we say, \u201cI love you?"
