Hi there, this is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  Just a quick note before we get started, we’re up to 27 reviews on our iTunes page.  Thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to give us a review, and if you haven’t yet, we’d love to get one from you.  Remember, our goal is still 50 positive reviews.
 
Also, in episode 0080 I said I was as healthy as a raddish, “aš sveikas kaip ridikas.”  But, I blew it.  I should have said, “sveikas kaip ridikas.”  And now, just so you don’t learn from my poor Lithuanian, please repeat after Raminta:

sveikas kaip ridikas
sveikas kaip ridikas

Thank you dear!

Hi everybody, this is Ibrahim from Denmark and Iraq and you are listening to Lithuanian Out Loud with Raminta and Jack, enjoy!

Ibrahim, thanks a million for sending us the plug!  Shukran, shukran barakalahufiq!

Hey!  We’re in a new month!  June is named after the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter.  In Lithuanian this month is birželis.  According to the Wikipedia page, Lithuanian Calendar, its name comes from the Birch tree which is opening its buds.  The birch tree or beržas is a symbol of nature, youth, and fertility.  Homes, farms and animals are decorated with birch tree branches.

And now, on with the show Raminta and I recorded about two weeks ago, enjoy!

Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language, but not too loud, if it’s too loud, it’ll hurt your ears. 

Vytautas the Great War Museum or Vytauto Didžiojo karo muziejus, is a museum in Kaunas, Lithuania. It was opened on 16 February 1936 and named after the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas. The museum displays a history of Lithuania and Kaunas from prehistoric times to the present day, as well as an immense collection of weapons through the ages and the tragic but complete wreckage of the plane Lituanica, on which Steponas Darius and Stasys Girėnas had crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1933.

Now, here’s Raminta reading the third part of the letter, “Justina Amerikoje.”

Gaila, kad išvažiavus į Ameriką nutrūko Justinos studijos Lietuvos universitetuose. Pritrūko vienerių metų ir Justina būtų gavusi bakalauro diplomą Vilniaus Universitete. Taip pat nutrūko neakivaizdinės studijos Mykolo Romerio Universitete. Justina planavo studijuoti Amerikoje, bet vis nepavyksta suderinti darbo su mokslu.

Here it is again, slowly, with a translation.

Gaila, kad išvažiavus į Ameriką nutrūko Justinos studijos Lietuvos universitetuose.
It is a pity that when she left to America Justina’s studies in the Lithuanian universities ceased.

Pritrūko vienerių metų ir Justina būtų gavusi bakalauro diplomą Vilniaus Universitete.
She lacked one more year and Justina would have gotten a bachelor’s diploma in the Vilnius University.

Taip pat nutrūko neakivaizdinės studijos Mykolo Romerio Universitete.
They also terminated her correspondence studies in the Mykolas Romeris University.

Justina planavo studijuoti Amerikoje, bet vis nepavyksta suderinti darbo su mokslu.
Justina was planning to study in America but always fails to reconcile work with studies.
