How did you choose KTU for study exchange? I wanted to study abroad and was considering Australia, but then I realised how expensive it was. I have studied in Finland through Erasmus exchange programme where I met students from other countries, […]

Lithuanians among top bilingual nations in Europe

We often praise how Lithuanians are among top bilingual nations in Europe, but it gets even better with the recent survey from Eurobarometer (organized by the European Commision). This research showed that, on average, a single Lithuanian can converse in 2.7 languages. Another interesting metric is the median number of languages spoken. This number means that if you were to order all Lithuanians to stand in line – the guy or girl in the middle would speak exactly that number of languages. In our case – 2,5 means that about a half (45-55%) of Lithuanians speak 2 languages, and the […]

Now we can say – they did and they still do! If you were considering to study abroad – why not chose a country which has a proven track record of an increasing number of satisfied students […]

That special time of the year

Christmas is less than two weeks away, it is starting to snow from time to time, trees with Christmas lights are all over the place and we can officially state that we are ready to celebrate! 😉 Christmas is one of the most important festivities of the year in Lithuania, and we have some special traditions attached to it. For example on the Eve of Christmas, Lithuanians gather for a supper which has to consist of at least 12 dishes (all meatless). We break bread, say a prayer and feast.

If you have some litas saved, you will be able to change them to euros free of charge at the rate of 1 euro to 3.45 litas (or spend them in […]
