Remember the plug Bayram of Turkey gave us recently?\xa0 Well, he just sent me an email.\xa0 He was in Vilnius today in a coffee shop working on his computer and he heard a familiar voice.\xa0 He went up to the woman and asked her some questions and then gave her a big hug.\xa0 Raminta was really surprised someone had recognized her voice while she was chatting with a friend in a Vilnius coffee shop.\xa0 What a coincidence!\xa0 Thanks for the email Bayram!
Today we have a special guest on the show.\xa0 Someone who might be contributing something to Lithuanian Out Loud on a regular basis for a long time to come \u2013 I hope.\xa0 So, here is Agn\u0117 from Vilnius or Agn\u0117 i\u0161 Vilniaus and her first contribution to the show.
"\u010diau bra\u0161ke, susitiksim kompote"
Agn\u0117 says this phrase is used by a lot by children in Lithuania to say goodbye.\xa0 The literal translation isn\u2019t really important, it\u2019s better to learn this as a whole phrase, but for those of you who are curious it means, "goodbye, strawberry, see you in kompotas."\xa0 Kompotas is a Lithuanian stewed fruit drink \u2013 very yummy.
Here is it again, slowly\u2026
\u010diau bra\u0161ke, susitiksim kompote
\u010diau bra\u0161ke, susitiksim kompote
\u010diau bra\u0161ke, susitiksim kompote
\u010diau bra\u0161ke, susitiksim kompote
Again, Agn\u0117 says children use this a lot but adults use it as a joke or in order to sound funny.\xa0 Try it on your Lithuanian friends.
Agn\u0117 has a few hundred ideas on future contributions to the show and we love having her enthusiasm in our community.\xa0 Thanks a million, Agne and welcome to the program!\xa0 It\u2019s super having you here with us.
Okay, enough notes, let\u2019s get on with today\u2019s episode, enjoy!

Hi there, I\u2019m Raminta and I\u2019m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.\xa0
Today we\u2019re in a new month!\xa0 July was named for Julius Caesar or Julijus Cezaris who was born in this month.\xa0 In Lithuanian this month is liepa, the linden tree, which flowers during this month.\xa0 The flowers scent the air, are used to make herbal teas and attract honeybees.\xa0 Pretty tree!
According to Wikipedia, Aust\u0117ja is the ancient Lithuanian household goddess of bees. Aust\u0117ja is a goddess of fertility, brides, and growing families. Aust\u0117ja is the wife of Bubilas.
Bubilas is the household god of bees.\xa0 People may have sacrificed honey to Bubilas.\xa0 They believed that doing so would make bees swarm better.
prad\u0117kime, let\u2019s get started
Today let\u2019s talk about work.\xa0 Here\u2019s a Lithuanian proverb:
Kas skaito ir ra\u0161o, tas duonos nepra\u0161o.\xa0 He who learns to read and write will not beg for bread.
Most of the time a person\u2019s job has the suffix \u2013tojas or \u2013toja, \u2013\u0117jas or \u2013\u0117ja, and \u2013ininkas or \u2013inink\u0117.
Here we\u2019ll list some infinitive verbs and then we\u2019ll list the job title that follows it.
