After over a decade of independence from the Soviet Union, this Baltic country of 4 million inhabitants is hoping to join the European Union and NATO in the near future. A compact grammar section and a pronunciation guide are included, along with a phrasebook designed for travellers, businesspersons, students, and diplomats. The bilingual dictionary designates part of speech and case declension, and gives crucial everyday vocabulary.

This book my not teach you everything you need to know, but it teaches you the basics very well and in the style of language that is spoken today.
I have a few other lithuanina books. Teach Yourself Lithuanian Book/CD Pack (Teach Yourself Complete Courses) and Colloquial Lithuanian: The Complete Course for Beginners (Colloquial Series). Both these books have been laughed at by my Lithuanina friends who advise my to get rid of them. As they say its like trying to learn english by reading shakespear. Not that the books are well written but that the language used in them is old fashioned and outdated.
Enough about the other books. This book is much better it has a Lithuanina - English dictionary; an English - Lithuanina dictionary, both of which have the same words in, something the other books dont. Plus easy to learn phrases that you can and do use in everyday situations. Plus a few you might not.
In short. If you want to learn lithuanian and are a beginner then you cant go wrong with this book.

I am Lithuanian citizen and bought the book for my boyfriend. Lithuanian language can be a very difficult one to learn and this is a helpful and well priced book.
It is useful as it is not too big (size wise) but covers all the major topics and is easy to carry around and use in daily conversations.

I have found this to be a very useful and straightforward book to use. It has helped me from the english point of view and a lithuanian persons view point enabling us to communicate with each other. Definitely worth buying.

My wife and I bought this book to help us on a trip to Lithuania. It proved to be of very little help. The layout is chaotic. Read more

Useful but not brilliant
I think the book is confused between being a language teaching book and a phrase book. More than half of the books is taken up with Lithuanian grammar which is very complicated. Read more
