And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Sigulda, Riga, or Jurmala? Maybe you want to speak Latvian with your grandparents from Liepaja?

Nevajag būt ideāli."En: "Come," he said, "let’s do this together. It doesn't need to be perfect."Lv: Viņi visi trīs, apvienoti smieklos un priekiem, pievienojās dejai zem zvaigznēm, saprotot, ka šī nakts bija par vienību un mirkļa burvību.En: All three of them, united in laughter and joy, joined the dance under the stars, realizing that this night was about unity and the magic of the moment.Lv: Tika izbaudīta draudzība un kopā būšanas prieks, un viņi uzsāka deju ar jauniem atjaunotiem soļiem, paturot prātā, ka Saulgrieži netika mērīti perfekcijā, bet gan sirdīs un priekā.En: They cherished friendship and the joy of being together, starting the dance with newly refreshed steps, keeping in mind that the solstice wasn't measured in perfection, but in hearts and joy.
