Hi there, I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  This is our second installment of Gyvenimas Puikus.  First, we’ll let you hear the conversation and then we’ll go over the conversation slowly and break it down a little.  After that we’ll let you hear the recordings that we had to cut out because Raminta and her friend Dovilė just couldn’t keep from laughing.  And by the way, I’d like to sincerely thank Dovilė for taking the time to help us with the Gyvenimas Puikus series.  Dovile, you have a beautiful voice.  Alright, here we go, enjoy!
