Learning Lithuanian is a serious PITA.

The only thing I know about Lithuania is the band The ROOP. What do you like about it?

Great song!

Heritage. My Grandparents fled Lithuania, and Germany, to America post WWII. I grew up in a Lithuanian enclave here in the United States and my first words were a mix of Lithuanian and German. For some reason my Father never taught me the language and now I'm trying to pick it up in my early 50s as I'm working on (dual) citizenship.

Lithuania is an amazing country with a rich history and it probably sounds odd but I love the geography. Mountains, pine forests, the ocean...it's just perfect.

Sadly, you will not find any proper mountains in Lithuania.

Lithuanian language is ... easy in some aspects, absurdly difficult in others. I don't know a lot of rules but mostly rely on intuition, not hard when you live here all the time.

Okay yes, I did overstate the "mountains" part and since I live in the Rocky Mountains I should know better.

I don’t know a lot of rules but mostly rely on intuition, not hard when you live here all the time.

It's not so much the rules that give me fits it's re-training my brain to listen for a different set of sounds and a different set of inflections.

I'll get there, it's just taking more work than I'd anticipated.

It sounds lovely in your telling. I wish you success in (re-)discovering your heritage!
