Dear Community,
One of the best ways to get to know a country and its traditions a bit better is to step in the shoes of a Latvian. And there is one thing that many Latvians feel the urge to do in spring and this is to plant something. And before you, this is not for you - hear me out. This could be a simple tomato plant in your room or on your balcony, it does not have to be something big, just the meditation type of process helps Latvians to patiently wait for the summer and warm weather to come and maybe you should try it. We have published a new blog post on why gardening could be the best way to help you wait for the summer. You can read the article here.
If you are new to this - this would be a way how you can get involved in some of the local communities and practice your Latvian while learning a new skill. Come and share your experience in the Practice Your Latvian forum, we have created a dedicated forum just for practicing the “spring talk” let us meet there.
P.S. Don’t forget that the deadline for the #OLSCommunityStories competition is slowly approaching, if you still are preparing to submit your video and have any doubts come to the dedicated forum section to ask any questions.
