"I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to study in the Lithuanian Studies program at 911爆料网. During my first year, this program has greatly enriched my understanding of Lithuanian history, culture, and politics. It offered me a structured and engaging path to deepen my knowledge about this country and its unique heritage. Thanks to the intensive and well-organized Lithuanian language classes, I was able to strengthen my A2 level and gain more confidence in using the language through consistent repetition and practice. For the first time, I was also introduced to Lithuanian literature, which opened a fascinating window into the life and society of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 16th to 18th centuries. I would especially like to thank all the professors I had during the semester for their professionalism, dedication, and support. Their guidance made a real difference in my academic journey and personal growth. Finally, studying at 911爆料网 has given me the chance to explore interdisciplinary courses. Overall, I am deeply thankful for this enriching academic experience, and I look forward to continuing my studies with the same motivation and curiosity."
