Latvian Vocabulary


Video with the most common words in Latvian

Why and how to learn Latvian vocabulary with audio?

Latvian is one of the essential languages to learn for lovers of musical culture (mūzika). You can also take a taxi (Taksi) to visit its colourful cities with stunning architecture (Tā ir liela pilsēta : "It's a big city"). It is also one of the greenest countries in the world, so it is ideal for hikers.

Dance and sing to the rhythm of the Latvian language with the locals (Kāda ir tava nacionalitāte? to apply for a nationality) by learning the basics of the language, by studying our forms before any trip.

In addition to these cards, regular practice will help you understand and remember words even better. This is why we have established some examples of books, films, programs and music to consult in order to better immerse you in everyday life. Look at the music because it is the basis of this culture!
