Starting January 1, 2026, a new law in Lithuania will require all client-facing workers to provide services in the Lithuanian language.
This decision aims to enhance communication and customer service in the local language while balancing the needs of foreign workers and businesses.
To fully integrate into the local community and avoid any miscommunication, learning Lithuanian is recommended. This can seem a little daunting as it’s not the easiest language to master. There are, however, lots of courses available, as well as online resources dedicated to helping you come to grips with the language
The Internet is a great place to pick up the basics. A good place to start would be Loecsen, Surface language.
There is also the free and interactive tool Let’s be Friends, which teaches you to read, listen, understand, speak and write in Lithuanian.
The information is constantly updated. If you have any recommendations or offer Lithuanian language courses, please contact us at this email - [email protected].
Unfortunately, we currently do not have any free language courses.
From January 1, 2026, an amendment to the Law on the State Language of the Republic of Lithuania will come into effect, requiring individuals who interact directly with clients to ensure service in the Lithuanian language.
The National Education Agency (NSA) is the only institution where you can take the necessary exams to obtain the required state language proficiency category.
Depending on your field or profession, you must pass the corresponding category exam.
Learning a new language does not always require a traditional classroom setting. Informal language learning, which takes place outside formal education, offers numerous benefits that can make the process more engaging and effective. Through activities such as playing board games, watching movies, and participating in discussions, learners can develop their language skills in a natural and enjoyable way.
Warm friendships are formed in the Lithuanian language club, where Lithuanians and foreigners gather every Wednesday evening to improve their language skills through informal activities. You can find more information about the events organized by Micenter on the website
