Step 1

Teacher explanation

This lesson gives you short pharmacy-survival language, not full medical conversation. At A1, the key win is simple: say one symptom clearly and say that you need medicine.

Learn these as full chunks: man skauda galvą, man skauda gerklę, man reikia vaistų. Do not stop to analyze every word ending. Use the whole expression as one calm help sentence.

Use it first

Key language

Man skauda galvą.
My head hurts.

Learn the whole symptom phrase as one unit.

Symptom first, need second

A calm A1 pharmacy exchange often needs only two steps: say the symptom, then say the need. Example: Man skauda gerklę. Man reikia vaistų.

Man skauda galvą.
My head hurts.
Man skauda gerklę.
My throat hurts.
Man reikia vaistų.
I need medicine.

Learner notes

English support
Pronunciation
  • • Say skauda with a clear first syllable: skau-da.
  • • In gerklė, keep the ending light and quick.
Watch for
  • • English often says “I have a headache,” but Lithuanian beginner speech here works through the chunk man skauda galvą. Learn the whole phrase, not a word-by-word conversion.
Tip
  • • In a real pharmacy, two short sentences are enough: one symptom and one need.
You can now

I can explain a simple symptom and ask for basic help at a pharmacy in Lithuanian.
