Linas gleamed.Lt: Staiga nutaręs, jog turi parodyti kažką įdomaus Rūtai, jis tyliai pasiūlė: „Gal norėtum pamatyti kažką ypatingo?“En: Suddenly deciding he had something interesting to show Rūta, he quietly suggested, "Would you like to see something special?"Lt: Rūta sutiko galvą.En: Rūta nodded.Lt: Ji pasitikėjo Linu, nors kartais jo planai būdavo kupini netikėtumų.En: She trusted Linas, even though his plans were sometimes full of surprises.Lt: Jiems vaikštant po pilį, gidė pasakojo apie viduramžių karalius, tačiau Linas, vietoj to, nuvedė Rūtą už draudžiančių ženklų, į siaurą koridorių.En: As they walked around the castle, the guide told stories about medieval kings, but instead, Linas led Rūta past the prohibitive signs into a narrow corridor.Lt: „Čia yra seniausi pilies lobiai“, – pašnibždomis tarė Linas, sustodamas prie senų durelių.En: "Here are the oldest treasures of the castle," whispered Linas, stopping at some old doors.Lt: Jo širdis plakė tarsi būgnas.En: His heart pounded like a drum.Lt: Staiga atidaręs dureles, jis pamatė senovinį kardo ašmenį.En: Suddenly opening the doors, he saw an ancient sword blade.Lt: Tačiau dar net nespėjus pasigrožėti, ausų šauksmu sugaudo aliarmas.En: But before he could even admire it, an alarm sounded loudly.Lt: Mokytojai ir klasės draugai subėgę matė, kaip Linas stovi, pamėlusiu veidu.En: Teachers and classmates rushed to see Linas standing with a pale face.Lt: Rūta nedelsdama paaiškino situaciją: „Linas tiesiog norėjo man parodyti kažką ypatingo.En: Rūta immediately explained the situation: "Linas just wanted to show me something special.Lt: Jis tikrai myli istoriją.“En: He truly loves history."Lt: Mokytojai piktintis pradėjo mažiau, kai Linas su Rūta jiems parodė atrastą artefaktą.En: The teachers were less upset when Linas and Rūta showed them the discovered artifact.Lt: Nors pradžioje tai sukėlė nemenką rūstybę, netrukus visi pradėjo juoktis, supratę berniuko entuziazmą ir jo žioplumą.En: Though it initially caused quite an uproar, soon everyone began to laugh, realizing the boy's enthusiasm and his clumsiness.Lt: Diena pamažu tęsėsi.En: The day gradually continued.Lt: Linas tarsi paukštis suprato, kad kartais taisyklės yra svarbios, bet jo žingeidumas neliko neįvertintas.En: Linas understood, like a bird, that sometimes rules are important, but his curiosity went appreciated.Lt: Rūta, švelniai šypsodamasi, pridėjo: „Aš visada mėgau tavo nuotykius.“En: Rūta, gently smiling, added, "I've always loved your adventures."Lt: Trakų salos pilis, išdidžiai stūksojusi ežero pakrantėje, regėjo dar vieną savo istorijos puslapį, užpildytą jaunatvišku smalsumu ir draugystės šiluma.En: Trakų Island Castle, proudly standing on the lake's shore, witnessed yet another chapter of its history, filled with youthful curiosity and the warmth of friendship.

Lithuanian with Paulius Paulius Juodis Lithuanian with Paulius is a podcast for learners who want to improve their Lithuanian through listening.

Using the comprehensible input approach, the podcast helps you gradually expand your vocabulary and develop real understanding of Lithuanian step by step. Jewish Children (Yudishe Kinder) by Sholem Aleichem Loyal Books Although written from a child’s perspective, this is not a kids book but a series of funny, poignant, and sometimes disturbing stories about life in a late 19th-century Russian-Jewish village — the world of my grandparents. Sholem Rabinovich (1859-1916) was born in Pereiaslav, Ukraine and later immigrated to New York. His short stories about Tevye and his daughters were freely adapted into the musical FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. Rabinovich’s will contained the following injunction: “Let my name be recalled with laughter or not at all.” His translator, Hannah Berman, was Irish of Lithuanian descent.Some of these stories may be too intense for younger children. LITHUANIAN OUT LOUD Raminta and Jack Lithuanian Out Loud is a podcast series designed for students of the Lithuanian language.
