cardemaister, I first went to Lithuania in '92 when I was 20. My band was invited to tour there with Foje, awesome group, just at the end of the Soviets occupation there. When I arrived there the Russian flag was still at the border with Soviet troops walking the streets. When I left, the Lithuania flag was at the border. Things were just changing there then. I learned a few words at that time, but really didn't jump into it later. I have been back several times since and met my wife on one of those trips. I have learned the language more each time I go, as her family doesn't speak English. I needed to learn to communicate.
I don't know if Lithuanian is related to Sanskrit, but it is an ancient language and carries a number of aspects of other ancient languages that are unlike modern languages. For instance, Lithuanian has six diclentions (I don't know if I spelled that correctly), while English has none. Every noun is changed depending on the sentence. It is much like Latin in some ways too.
