Dear podcast listeners and Lithuanian students,

Lithuanian with Paulius is back with yet another episode. As I am currently on vacation, I decided to shoot a short video and showcase our cherished Curonian Spit and its natural beauty.

I hope you will enjoy today's episode and feel inspired to visit Nida—it's truly one of Lithuania's wonders. Sorry for the poor audio quality; hopefully, it will not interfere with your listening experience.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

Also, if you wish to receive the full transcript of this episode, please head to my Contribee. There you will find all the podcast's transcripts, longer format Lithuanian with Paulius recordings and more.
