#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.
