Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m EglÄ and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.
Egle, welcome to the show! Hi!
Where, now, where are you from?
Okay, I am from Lithuania.
What part? KlaipÄda. VakarÅ Lietuva – western Lithuania.
So, you‘re from western Lithuania. Yes.
And, what is your accent? What style of accent..?
No accent! Standard?
(Raminta in the background) Yes!
So, Egle…
StelmuÅÄ is a village in Zarasai district, Lithuania. There is a wooden chapel built in 1650 not using saws or iron nails; it is the oldest wooden religious building in Lithuania. StelmuÅÄ is also known for the Tower of Slaves or VergÅ bokštas, a rectangular building constructed of stone and bricks, used for imprisonment of serfs.
Nasty. Did you know this? No! Wow, we try to teach on every lesson a little bit about Lithuania. That’s nice. History, religion, the old religion, things like this.
