Lithuanian Out Loud 0014 - Taip Pat Also

In Lithuania make sure you don't point with your index finger, it's considered by some to be rude.  If you really need to point at something just put all your fingers together and motion gently with your hand towards what you want someone to see.  Labas, aš Douglas (Dennis).                       Hi, I'm Douglas (Dennis).
