Labas!
I'm a linguistics student trying to self study Lithuanian. I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese with varying levels. I'm American with some Lithuanian roots (my family was deported to Siberia during a certain time period) on my father's side and often use Russian with my relatives.
I want to learn Lithuanian mostly due to my interest in balto-slavic linguistics and connection with my great grandparents. Unfortunately I have a bit of an irrational fear of having a Russian accent due to the history and have always avoided learning much of the language.

Also, I have no idea how my name would be Lithuanianized, so if anyone could help me that would be much appreciated.
