A different language is a different vision of life. So, why not start learning a modern language like Latvian. Let us get started by learning nationalities and country names in Latvian first.
Destination Latvia is one of the three Baltic countries located on the east coast of the Baltic Sea, between Estonia and Lithuania. The country also shares borders with Russia and Belarus and shares maritime borders with Sweden.
Before the Soviet occupation in 1940, Latvians made up about three-quarters of the population of the country. Today, they are about three-fifths of the population, of which Russians make up about one-quarter. In addition, there is a small group of Belarusians, Ukrainians, Poles, Lithuanians, and others.
Most Latvians believe in Christianity-mainly Lutheran, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox. However, about a quarter of Latvians believe that they have no religious beliefs.
