DOCTOR: What seems to be the problem?
CATHY: Well, I have a bad cough and a sore throat. I also have 
a headache.
DOCTOR: How long have you had these symptoms?
CATHY: About three days now. And I’m really tired, too.
DOCTOR: Hmm. It sounds like you’ve got the flu. Take aspirin
every four hours and get plenty of rest. Make sure you 
drink lots of fluids. Call me if you’re still sick next week.
CATHY: OK, thanks

LANGUAGE NOTES 
• What seems to be the problem? means “What is the problem?” Notice that the intonation 
falls at the end of the question. The doctor wants information, not a “yes/no” answer.
• Well is used as an introductory word. Notice how the vowel is drawn out, to sound like 
“Weeeeeell …” This can be used as a way to “buy time” while you think about what you 
want to say next.
• A bad cough … a sore throat … a headache: Notice the article “a” before each symptom.
• About is used to mean “more or less.” It’s used here to give an estimate of time.
• Take aspirin … get rest … Make sure … Call me: Notice the doctor uses the simple tense 
here to give instructions. This is the imperative form of the verb.
• Still sick means “continue to be sick.”

Dear students of the Lithuanian language,

I am back with a video for those who are just starting to learn Lithuanian. In this video, I will introduce myself in the first person and introduce my partner in the third person. Also, I will speak about us together in the first person plural. I hope that this video will help you to develop the relevant vocabulary and grammar to introduce yourself to others. 

If you wish to do some additional exercises, I have added them together with the video's transcript on my Contribee account. You will find all the links here:

I will share some of my best practices in this podcast on how I budget, what I spend on depending on my goals.
