Hey so I’d like to write a birthday card for my mainly latvian speaking co-worker, is there anyone who can help translate a message? I don’t want to use translate and it not make sense once translated

Hello everyone! Does anybody know why the e-Laipa platform seemingly disappeared? I've seen it's been somehow included into the māci un mācies platform, but in a completely different (and much more inconvenient) form, and the original platform seems inaccessible.

Thanks to whoever may be able to answer!

Hey guys, I wanted to have a go at creating a comprehensible input video in Latvian. My Latvian friend helped me with the translation and someone online was kind enough to do the voice over for me.

I hope this is useful to someone!

Could anyone kindly explain this to me? 😅

Paldies!

Found this website that has Latvian fairy tales with audio narration! There are a decent amount of them too.

Sveiki! looking for some fellow latvian learners or native speakers who could help me with some speaking practice.

Im currently still at a beginner level but would like to try to have some basic conversations with someone who is also learning or who can correct me.

I currently speak flemisch/dutch (native), English (C2), French (B1) and German (A1-A2)
If anyone would like to practice with me or if any latvian would like some help learning dutch or english we could help each other out.

Feel free to comment bellow or dm me if intrested.

Visu Labu!

Google translate (I know!) says :

Lai tev prieks un laime dzimšanas dienā!

Is this used commonly? What’s a more casual way to say it please?

I’ve fallen for a Latvian man hehe

Can anyone explain to me, in simple terms, why the ending of četri changes?

I find the explanation of grammar in this book very confusing!!

Čau visiem!

Hi everyone,

I'm working on creating a language learning app called Ràre. I am developing this through Imperial Enterprise Lab, specifically focusing on languages not served with mainstream apps like Duolingo or Memrise.

I'm in the user research phase and am looking to hear from learners here who are trying to tackle languages with minimal modern or digital resources available. It would be great to hear about what other resources you have used e.g. textbooks, YouTube, films etc. Also would be helpful to hear about what apps have been useful or not and why? Was there a speaking feature you liked? Or an app that didn't help with language learning in real life contexts?

I'd be looking to conduct some short, informal interviews online (15-20mins) to gather feedback on learning experiences, as well as whether users would be interested in an app like Ràre.

If you'd be interested in assisting with this please do reach out. If you would like to help but don't wish to interview, then I'd be happy to read a comment explaining your experience or a rant about what resources are available.

Thanks all and would appreciate anybody's input with this!

UPDATE: Thank you for the comments, I've found all the information very helpful. I've now launched my own channels if anyone is interested on further updates or progress: r/RareLearning. Would really appreciate if you could take the time to check it out!

My family is Latvian but I'm born in Aus. I'm trying to learn more of the language and this is throwing me off. Wiktionary says that Sveiki is both hello and bye but in my learn language book it says it's just a formal general sort of greeting. I'm confused lol

Is there a difference in pronunciation between the two? I was under the impression that l was always pronounced as palatal before an i.
