Seventy lessons on Latvian grammar and everyday speech.
About this tool →One of the few systematic free Latvian courses. Covers pronunciation, the cases and practical vocabulary in order. Latvian has very little learner material of any kind, so a channel of this size carries more weight here than the subscriber count suggests.
Beginner Latvian from a teacher who also runs latvianonline.lv.
About this tool →Short lessons on greetings, pronunciation and basic grammar, tied to a paid course elsewhere. Small but carefully made; the pronunciation work matters because Latvian's long vowels and its pitch accent are written but easy to ignore.
Street interviews with dual subtitles, produced in dozens of languages.
About this tool →A franchise of local producers filming unscripted street interviews, each episode subtitled in the target language and English, which is the closest free thing to hearing how people genuinely speak. All YouTube episodes are free; membership adds transcripts, vocabulary lists and exercises. Real-speed unscripted speech is hard early on — start with the slower 'Super Easy' episodes if you are below B1.
