Lithuania: Learning the language:

Hi, firstly I apologise for the drawn out post but wanted to give as much background as possible! My husband is Lithuanian and we have been together little under 3 years and married for just over 1, when we first started dating we were working together in my home town in a factory and there were many other Lithuanian workers so I plstarted to pick up the language easily, since we no longer work there and do not have the same need to speak the language, I have become somewhat lazy in my quest to learn his native language, speaking with his family is difficult as they all remain in Lithuania and their English is very limited, I tend to avoid communicating with them due to embarrassment, I know basic words and phrases but not enough to compile sentences or hold a conversation, I can understand a lot of what is being said but mainly cannot respond. I guess that is down to not being confidant and worrying about my pronunciation etc, So my question is, has anyone else been in a similar situation and what did you do to learn, I have today purchased a English/Lithuanian dictionary but have you found any intense courses/programmes to help? Any advise will be great fully received!! X

Lithuania: life in Lithuania:

So...I'm new to this and dont really know where to start, so forgive me if I ramble or say something wrong! Il start with a bit of background on us :) I met my Lithuanian now husband little over 3 years ago in my hometown (s.w of England) when we were both doing temp work together (he had worked there since moving to the UK 4 years before we met) he has never been bothered about moving back to Lithuania but recently there has been a bit of uncertainty in the company we work fors future so I again approached the idea of 're locating should we loose our jobs. Again he doesn't seem keen, (he's not really a planner, where as.I like to have a back up plan!) I have never moved out of the town I was born in and feel it is something I would like to try whilst we are both young enough to move back should it not work.(he is 29 I am 24) and before we start a family (which we are both keen to do) so I guess where I am going witht this is, would it be a good move? Obviously we would sort work/accommodation before packing up and leaving. I have various skills I could take, but my language is very limited. Also we don't have a great deal of savings. Would that be something to consider?

Lithuania: Moving to Lithuania - Advice:

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I am also in this situation, I married a Lithuanian man, we are trying to compare the pros and cons of making the move. My language is very limited feeling that could be my biggest problem! Did you manage to get much of a response to this post or make a decission aboutwhat to do?
