Lithuanian Out Loud

Okay, well, we’ve got a lot to do so we should get started.  Okay, no blah, blah, blah, blah.  Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.  We’re not teachers, but we do the best we can. Do remember the word for the month of March in Lithuanian? …kovas. How cute!  Do you like this little bird kovas?  Oh, I love kovas, I’m waiting for kovas so bad in Lithuania. According to the Wikipedia page entitled, The Hill of Witches or Raganų Kalnas is an outdoor sculpture gallery in Juodkrantė, Lithuania.  The Hill of Witches is on a forested sand dune on the Curonian Spit near the town of Neringa.  On the hill you can find about 80 wood sculptures and a series of trails.  The artists are following a tradition of woodcarving from the Samogitian culture.  The artwork depicts characters from Lithuanian folklore and the traditional Lithuanian religion.  This is a must-see part of Lithuania and admission is free.  We’ll paste a link to a photo
