Lithuanian is the state language of Lithuania, and about 3 million people speak it. Linguists study it closely because it keeps old features that most other languages in its family have lost. Even so, few apps teach Lithuanian, and some well-known ones leave it out.
Here are the apps and services that teach Lithuanian, grouped by what they help you do. You can start with one and add another when you need it.
Custom Lessons Made for You
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Lithuanian. You learn from Lithuanian you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Bubblegum builds Lithuanian lessons around your own life. Tell Poppy, your AI tutor, what you want to learn. She writes lessons for your level and helps you understand the words and grammar. You can read and listen, and ask her about anything that is unclear. News and stories give you more Lithuanian to read about music, food, family, and other things you care about.
The trade-off is that Bubblegum is not a person to talk with. For audio lessons with recorded speakers, Pimsleur and uTalk are the better fit. If you want a fixed course, try Ling, and for conversation, try the apps in Learn With People.
- Lessons fit your level, interests, and goals.
- Read and listen to news and stories in Lithuanian about things you care about.
- Ask Poppy about a sentence while you read.
- Regenerative Review™ brings saved words back in new lessons, so you review them by reading instead of using flashcards.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- You cannot import your own books or articles.
- A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn.

Common Questions
Which Lithuanian app should a beginner choose?
If you are serious about learning Lithuanian, start with Bubblegum. Poppy writes lessons at your level about things you like. Or start with Ling for ready-made lessons, or Pimsleur if you want to speak from the start. Add a tutor on italki or Preply when you want feedback. Lithuanian uses the Latin alphabet with extra letters such as ą, č, and š, so you do not need to learn a new script first.
Can I learn Lithuanian for free?
Yes. The National Library of Lithuania has a free list of textbooks, grammar books, audio, and dictionaries for people who study Lithuanian on their own, and the Migration Information Centre links to it. Vilnius has also offered free Lithuanian courses to foreign residents. Bubblegum's lesson library is free to read too.
Is Bubblegum free?
Yes. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn. It holds lessons that other learners asked Poppy for. A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons.
