11. Language things Vilnius was the first in the world to offer language classes while you travelled on public transport. While you were getting around the city, the ‘language buses’ played a collection of phrases in Polish , Lithuanian and English . There were worksheets inside the bus to allow you to follow along with the tape as it plays. All of the stops on the route were announced in the languages. Launched in 2007 it was funded by the EU for a year and proved hugely popular.
