>The people of lithuania speak lithuanian and latvian
Ive been all around lithuania and ive met only 2 people who speak latvian, it would've been better to say that lithuanians also speak russian (like many ex-ussr countries) as an unofficial language.
On a side-note you should've talked about the cultural facts relating to lithuania when talking about some of the illiustrations. (ex.: How the wolfs depicted on the talonas simbolize a dream grand duke gediminas had, which featured an iron wolf howling on a hill, on which he then built Gedimino pilis (Gediminas' Castle).)

You convinced me! I went and bought a few more banknotes from the ones shown. And I love your voice, it's very soothing, like of a nice teacher. But it would be helpful if you would do some research on the pronunciation of foreign names/words, before you pronounce them on camera.
