My fourth grade teacher Mrs Ongas was from either Lithuania or Estonia.
(She said where she and her husband were from, one was from one or the other place..)
She was a pip.
No accent to detect, but she sometimes made slipups of the tongue.
Like during Earth Science, she was trying to describe metamorphic rocks like schist.
She kinda forgot the end 's' sound at the end of schist.
(Mica that's been compressed.)
The class broke out in laughter while she stood there redfaced and blinking in embarrassment.
I wonder where she's at now?
There are so few of us on the earth, yet so many people seems to have a Lith connection... interesting about your teacher. I just met someone yesterday whose husband is part Lithuanian. A guy at work told me last week his ex-wife is Latvian... Lithuanian is considered the world's oldest spoken language in that more words go back to ancient Sanskrit than any other language.
