Hi!

In 2024, I have failed the lithuanian national school-leaving examination, and ever since, I have been very terrified to retake the exam since NŠA has drastically changed exam requirements.

But now I sincerely want to try to retake and pass the exam to be able to study where I truly want to.

Some conext: I was born and raised here, but I mostly speak polish since the one side of my family is polish, and I'm way closer to that side of the family than lithuanian, also all my friends are polish-speaking. The other issue is that my lithuanian side of the family majorly speaks in russian, rather in lithuanian. So since my childhood, I have had problems speaking in lithuanian. But while on a study break, I was working in customer service jobs, and my lithuanian got better. But I'm still quite insecure about it and doubt that my level of knowledge is enough to pass the exam on A (highest based on lithuanian grading) level.

So, I want to ask if anyone can help and recommend any tutors who could prepare me for an upcoming 2027 lithuanian (11th grade speaking and 12th grade writing) exam?

Hey everyone! im desperately looking for advice on how to reach A1 level of lithuanian in a month period. I will be giving the state level exam of it. Its pretty new so I dont even have an idea of what its like neither any past papers or mocks of it are that accessible. I have been in Lithuania for 2 months now and know pretty much the basics and plenty of words also some verbs and cases like I can, I will, I have, I want etc. but im having a hard time still when i try to do those A1-A2 mock tests. They seem to be a bit difficult. I would appeared any tips given to me to help me learn it and pass my exam too.

And if someone has given the A1 exam please tell me what its like and anything else that I should know about it as I dont have much idea. Thankss!!

Hey everyone!
I’m 21, from Lithuania, and I have an idea I’d like to discuss with people who might be interested in building something useful for our country.
A lot of people feel disconnected from politics. They see problems, lose trust in politicians, stop following the news, and eventually start thinking about leaving the country. They feel that their opinions don’t really matter and that nothing will change anyway.
I think we could try to change that.
My idea is to build one simple, transparent platform for the people of Lithuania.
Imagine an app where you could:
See the national budget, public spending and government debt in one place, using verified official sources.
Understand important decisions and upcoming elections without searching through dozens of websites.
Propose ideas and discuss problems with other citizens.
Support initiatives through verified identities and electronic signatures.
Track what happens after an initiative gains public support: whether it reaches the relevant institution, receives an official response, and leads to any changes.
Organise lawful, peaceful civic action when people want to push for a particular change.
The goal isn’t to replace elections or pretend that every online poll should become law. The goal is to make civic participation easier, more transparent and more meaningful.
I don’t claim to be a politician, an economist or a software developer. I’m just an ordinary young Lithuanian who believes that people should have a better way to participate in decisions affecting their lives.
I would love to find people who could help explore this idea — developers, designers, people familiar with Lithuanian law, public finance, civic initiatives, or simply citizens who care about making participation easier.
We don’t need to build everything at once. We could start with a small prototype, test whether people actually find it useful, and grow from there.
Would you use an app like this? What would you change or add? And is anyone interested in exploring how we could build the first version together?
I’m interested in honest criticism as much as support. I’d rather test the idea properly than assume I already have all the answers.
