This week you learn where to party in Vilnius and how to ask for the restroom after drinking too heavily. On the blogpage you'll find a link for watching Lithuanian television. We’ll also go through the Lithuanian alphabet. You should learn it, but if you don’t want to, well, no worries. Enjoy!

Kur? Where?
Tualetas Toilet
Kur yra...? Where is...?
Kur yra tualetas? Where is the restroom?
Kur yra tualetas? Where is the toilet?
Atsiprašau, kur yra tualetas? O, ačiu! Excuse me, where is the toilet? Oh, thank you!
In Lithuanian we often drop the verb, "to be." So, here we can drop "yra." You can be understood if you just say, "tualetas?" Tualetas is the Lithuanian word for a single toilet or restroom.
Kur tualetas? Where's the toilet?
Kur restoranas? Where's the restaurant?
Kur baras? Where is the bar?
