I want to post you some lithuanian newspapers, to read and to know what happens interesting in Lithuania.

Lietuvos rytas- the biggest and most popular newspaper in Lithuania http://www.lrytas.lt/
Ekstra žinios http://www.ekstrazinios.lt/

Wenn jemand versteht die deutsche Sprache, gibt es einige Information inbezug auf die Grammatik von Litauisch in dieser Seite:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litauische ... #Grammatik
Obwohl kurz ist, aber glaube ich, dass diese Information zwischen litauischen Grammatikseiten gesamtest ist. (Mano vokiečių kalba tiesog košmariška, tačiau tikiuosi, kad yra suprantama, ką norėjau pasakyti.)

Who doesn't understand German, can nonetheless use tables from this site:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litauische ... #Grammatik
I think, it's most full collection of grammatical tables (Lithuanian, of course) in one (internet) place.

[icekemia]

Velnias, jei tas vokiškas Wikipedia puslapis yra didžiausias surandamas puslapis apie lietuvių gramatiką internete, kažkas tikrai ne taip..

Ne, dabar jau tas itališkas tinklapis yra, apie kurį icekemia parašė. Ten, kaip aš galiu matyti, dar daugiau informacijos. Gaila tik, kad itališkai.

I remember seeing an online Lithuanian dictionary, where you can write for example valgiau, and the dictionary explains it's the 1st person singular past tense from the verb valgyti. But I don't remember the address or even the name of the dictionary ... can anyone help me?

[Abavagada]

I am starting to learn Lithuanian (I'm half Lithuanian, a few generations removed, on my fathers side).

I will be pulling together some resources, and wanted to start by creating a portal we can use for the site we find. This is what I have so far (with the links in this thread and a few more). I haven't added graphics for them all yet.. tell me what you think first.

Thanks. Two questions right off, about resources:

1) How does the portal that I am making look so far, and what changes would you make?

2) Who added the introduction to the Lithuanian in the UniLang Wiki? I noticed it is the same as wikibooks, and I was wondering which was copied from which.

2) The wikibooks was copied from this one. The material is not copyright anyway so it's okay...

1) The design is a little awful, I guess you made it using Frontpage, right? The layout should as well be improved, but so far usable

2) No idea

[Abavagada]

I made the entire page by hand. I don't use programs to write HTML. And I posted what I had so far so people could tell me how they want it. I'm not saying I am happy with it. I want opinions and criticisms so I can make it into something really nice.

But I do need a direction. "awful" and "need to be improved" don't tell me anything about a way to improve it.

Erik / Aba

No offence about those "awfuls" etc., not many people are able to come up with good looking design About the way to improve, it's really hard to tell, coz it needs a lot of improvement in all spheres. First what you can do is taking some webdesign books where are at least some basics about color scheme, basic layout etc.
