#2 - Užgavėnės: The Most Exciting Lithuanian Winter Festival

Dear listeners, students, and friends,I’m happy to welcome you to the second episode of my Lithuanian podcast for non-native speakers. In today’s episode, we explore one of my favourite Lithuanian celebrations — Užgavėnės.In 2024, Užgavėnės is celebrated on February 13, so this episode is a great opportunity to learn more about its traditions, meaning, and cultural significance.I recommend turning on subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience, especially if you’re still getting used to spoken Lithuanian.Links & resources📒 Lithuanian Beginner Course (A0–A1)https://lithuanianwithpaulius.com/beginner-course📗 Lithuanian Conversation Lab (A2)https://lithuanianwithpaulius.com/conversation-lab📕 Lithuanian Speaking Club (B1–B2)https://lithuanianwithpaulius.com/speaking-club📘 Lithuanian Debate Forum (C1–C2)https://lithuanianwithpaulius.com/c1-debate-forum📓 Individual Lessons (Solo & Duo)https://paulius.setmore.com/pauliusjuodisIf you’d like access to the full transcript of this episode, you can find it on my Patreon.
