Lithuanian · Lietuvių · AI speaking partner
Lithuanian, the old language, spoken new.
Lithuanian is the language linguists travel to hear: closer to Sanskrit than anything else in Europe, seven cases, a pitch accent, and a people who will happily switch to English for you. Learners are partners, the diaspora returning, and newcomers to Vilnius who want to belong.
Your AI partner talks with you in Lithuanian daily, corrects the ending and the stress on screen, and does not switch.
Lietuvių
Unlock your Lithuanian fluency
Speak from day one. Real conversations, corrected out loud.
Why Lithuanian is hard to speak
What stops learners talking, and what fixes it.
Seven cases and two declension systems
"Vilnius", "Vilniuje", "į Vilnių", "iš Vilniaus". Learned by speaking about real places and people, corrected each time.
Moving stress and pitch
Stress jumps between syllables within one word’s forms, and vowels carry a rising or falling tone. The ear learns it by hearing itself corrected.
Diminutives everywhere
"Vaikas", "vaikelis", "vaikutis": Lithuanians soften nouns constantly. The partner uses them and you pick them up.

Questions
Before you start speaking Lithuanian
Does it help with the Lithuanian state language exam?
For the speaking part, daily conversation with corrections and the everyday scenes build what the examiner assesses. TalkNative does not run the official exam.
Will the AI switch to English like people in Lithuania do?
No. It stays in Lithuanian unless you ask for a translation, and even then it comes back to Lithuanian. That is the conversation you cannot get in the street.
Are the corrections explained in my own language?
Yes. You choose the language you already speak at setup (English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and 50 more), and explanations in Start from Zero and Word Mode come in it while the practice stays in Lithuanian.
Is Lithuanian practice free?
Every module has a free taste with no card. Full access is a one-time payment for 30 days.
