Lithuanian Out Loud

Hi there, this is Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud.  Before we get on with today’s episode it’s time again for Agnė iš Vilniaus! Agnė says the idea today is to repeat a sentence that has many similar hard to pronounce sounds as quickly as you can.  In English these are called tongue-twisters. Thanks for sending us this contribution Agne!  It means a lot to us that you’re helping us out.  Take it away, Agne! How quickly could you say that? Geri vyrai geroj girioj gerą girą gėrė gerdami gyrė The good men in a big good forest were drinking delicious kvass (Lithuanian national drink) Geri vyrai geroj girioj gerą girą gėrė gerdami gyrė It’s easy, isn’t it?  But, what about that? Šešios žąsys su šešiais žąsyčiais Six (female) geese with six goslings Don’t worry if you don’t succeed the first time because most Lithuanians will say it like that… It’s okay, you need just some more practice and soon you will be able to say it like this: Šešios žąsys su šešiais žąsyčiais Good luck! Prašom, Mylimoji!  Hi ther
