There’s currently no Lithuanian option on Duolingo.

Duolingo doesn’t consider my native language a priority. Since Lithuanian is a small Baltic language (spoken by about 3 million people), big companies often ignore it.

Their loss!

Just because Duolingo doesn’t have it, that doesn’t mean you don’t have options. There are actually several excellent options that can help you master Lithuanian phrases, grammar, and vocabulary.

Some are great for beginners, while others are better for people who already know a little bit.

In this guide, I’ll show you the best apps to learn Lithuanian so you can stop searching and start learning.

1. Talk In Lithuanian

Talk In Lithuanian should be your starting point.

It’s literally the most comprehensive interactive audio course for Lithuanian in existence.

Why it’s good:

It’s a massive course from A1 to B2 level, with hundreds of lessons and high quality audio.

You’ll learn every aspect of Lithuanian inside.

It’s also not a subscription app - you pay once, get access forever and never pay again.

Best for: Beginners and low-intermediate learners.

2. Mondly

Mondly is another very popular app that actually supports Lithuanian.

The lessons are short and easy to do on your bus ride to work or school. They focus a lot on daily vocabulary. You will learn words for food, travel, family, and basic greetings very quickly.

Why I like it:

Mondly tracks your statistics very well, so you can see your progress. They also use a lot of images, which helps you remember words better.

However, be aware that Mondly teaches “standard” language. In Lithuania, we have different dialects (like Žemaičių or Samogitian), but Mondly will teach you the standard Lithuanian spoken in Vilnius and Kaunas. This is exactly what you need as a foreigner.

Best for: Learning core vocabulary and simple phrases.

3. Glossika

If you hate grammar rules and just want to speak, Glossika is for you.

This app uses a method called “mass sentence practice.” It does not explain why the word ending changed. Instead, it plays a sentence in English, and then the Lithuanian translation. You listen and repeat.

Over and over again.

Why I like it:

It mimics how children learn. By hearing correct sentences thousands of times, your brain starts to recognize the patterns naturally. It is excellent for improving your pronunciation and intonation (the rhythm of how you speak).

You will hear sentences like this at normal speed, which helps train your ears.

Best for: Listening comprehension and pronunciation.

4. Italki

Okay, italki isn’t a “game” app. It is a marketplace for tutors.

But if you are serious about learning Lithuanian, this is the most powerful tool you can use.

You cannot become fluent just by tapping buttons on a screen. You need to speak to a human! On italki, you can find professional Lithuanian teachers or community tutors (who are usually cheaper) for 1-on-1 video lessons.

Why I like it: You get instant feedback. If you say a word wrong, the teacher corrects you immediately. You can also ask them specifically about Lithuanian culture, slang, or regional variations.

Best for: Speaking practice and personalized feedback.

5. Clozemaster

Clozemaster is not for total beginners. It is for people who have finished the basics and feel “stuck.”

It uses a retro, 8-bit video game style. The app gives you a sentence with one word missing, and you have to fill in the blank. This is great for learning vocabulary in context.

Why I like it:

Because Lithuanian word endings change so much, seeing words inside full sentences is much better than just memorizing a list of words. Clozemaster forces you to choose the right form of the word.

Best for: Intermediate learners and expanding vocabulary.

6. Anglonas

This is not a course; it is a dictionary. But it is an essential app.

Do not rely only on Google Translate. Google often makes mistakes with Lithuanian because of our complex grammar.

Anglonas is a dedicated English-Lithuanian dictionary app (available on iOS and Android). It is what most Lithuanians use. It gives you very accurate translations and shows you different meanings for the same word.

Why I like it:

It is offline (usually) and very fast. Every learner needs a good dictionary in their pocket.

Best for: Looking up words accurately.

Why isn’t Lithuanian on major apps?

Lithuanian is often called one of the oldest living Indo-European languages. It is beautiful and historic.

However, it is also quite complex. We have “cases” (declensions), which means the endings of words change depending on how you use them in a sentence.

See how šuo (dog) changed to šunį and then šunimi?

Many popular apps like Rosetta Stone or Babbel find it difficult to teach this kind of grammar automatically. They prefer languages with simpler grammar structures or larger populations.

I also just think the language isn’t in huge demand (but I believe this will change).

But the apps listed here have done a great job of including Lithuanian.

My final advice

If I were starting from scratch today, this is what I would do:

1. Sign up for Talk In Lithuanian and start working through the course from start to finish.
2. Use Glossika while walking or doing chores to get the “sound” of the language in my head.
3. Once I know some phrases, book a lesson on italki to practice speaking.

Learning Lithuanian takes time, but using the right tools makes it much faster.

Sėkmės! (Good luck!)
