Courses start on 6 September 2026, in person at Juozapavičiaus street 9, Vilnius — floor 7, classrooms 717 and 718. On 6 September, Complete Beginners meet on Sundays 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. and Advanced Beginners on Sundays 1:30–4:30 p.m. From 14 September there is also a Complete Beginners group on Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:30–9:00 p.m. A new course for both Complete and Advanced Beginners starts on 4 October, 5:30–8:30 p.m., also in person. Full list on the courses page.

48 academic hours over 12 weeks — that is roughly 36 clock hours of class time, either 3 hours once a week or two 1.5-hour evenings — plus homework and social speaking sessions on top.

You'll speak from day one. Most students hold their first short conversation by class three. By the end of the 12-week course — 48 academic hours (~36 clock hours) and around 800 words of vocabulary — you can introduce yourself, manage everyday situations, and use Lithuanian outside the classroom.

The full course price is €379, payable in three instalments of €129, €125, and €125. Your place is confirmed once the first instalment of €129 is received. See how to enrol for payment details, or email hello@prolocals.net with any questions — no spam, no marketing list.

The only officially recognised certificate is the one issued by the Lithuanian state after its language exam, so we don't issue a certificate of our own. Our course teaches general Lithuanian for everyday life rather than exam technique — it gives you a solid foundation in the language, and what you do with it next is up to you.

No. All learning materials, vocabulary tools, and practice resources are included. A notebook helps — that's it.

Informal sessions where students speak Lithuanian with native speakers in a relaxed setting — café meet-ups, walks, themed evenings. They are part of the course experience, not an add-on.

Prolocals is a team of teachers, not one person. Your group has one dedicated teacher for the whole course, so you always know exactly who you're learning with, and you'll know who that is before you start. Every teacher on the team is selected and trained to deliver the same method and the same quality.

Yes. Homework is short and focused: practising a real conversation, preparing a small piece of speaking for the next class, and learning vocabulary with flashcards. The flashcards are how we build your vocabulary between classes — across the course you will learn around 800 words. Around 1–2 hours a week.

4 to 8 people. Small enough that everyone speaks every class, large enough to practice real conversation dynamics.

None at all for the Complete Beginners track (A0–A1) — it assumes zero prior knowledge. If you already know the basics, the Advanced Beginners track (A1–A2) is the better fit. Mention your level on the form and we'll place you in the right group.

No. We teach general Lithuanian that you can use in your daily life — at work, in shops, with neighbours and colleagues. The grammar and the roughly 800 words you learn give you a genuine foundation in the language, which many students go on to build on in their own way, but the course is not built around an exam and we don't promise an exam result.

English is used to explain grammar and structure clearly, especially early on. Lithuanian is used as much as possible in actual practice — and increases steadily through the course.
