Lithuanian?????

[the social g]

I have managed to make some Lithuanian friends who speak English extremely well, so I think it is only polite that I try and learn Lithuanian in return. Can anybody offer me any advice on the best way I can go about this, ie good resources, books, websites, etc?
Meanwhile one of my friends is sending me texts in Lithuanian to translate, most of which I have had some success. BUT "Nepriestarauju Tik nepervark" has got me stumped!!!! Any help would be massively appreciated.

Hi,
I'm a native Lithuanian speaker and the only tip I could give is actually trying to spend as much time among Lithuanians as you can and eventually things will start making sense.

As for "Nepriestarauju Tik nepervark" it means: I got nothing against it. But make sure you don't over-do it!

It's an informal kind of saying that someone agrees with you but they warn you not to try too hard.

This would make more sense if you gave me the context.

I hope this helps.

Hi Gyvybe
dekoju!
I gave in and asked my friend and, yes, your translation fitted the situation perfectly within the context, ie I did some of her work to help her out.
It's a very different language from English which increases my admiration for Lithuanians that work here.
The grammar is totally different, as is the alphabet - but I'm determined to learn more.
If I have any more problems I will post them here.
Anyway many thanks for your reply
