Mano Tavo Jo Jos - Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.
The Lithuanian national flag is the tricolor of yellow, green and red. The yellow represents the golden fields of Lithuanian grain, the green represents the green countryside of Lithuania and red represents the blood that has been shed on Lithuanian soil.
