The benefits of learning a new language are limitless. It not just helps you to communicate better but also provides a competitive edge over others. Lithuanian ambassador to India, Diana Mickeviciene has learnt Hindi and Sanskrit and recently gave an interview to the news agency ANI in Hindi.
She shared, "It is a bit difficult for me to talk about serious matters. But, I am able to speak. I learnt Sanskrit for two years. But, that is a language of scriptures in our University. I learnt to read, write and translate, but not to speak."

Ms Mickeviciene added, "Hindi...I am able to speak a little bit of Hindi. I learnt Hindi two, or three times, but forgot. This time I have come to India and my intention is to focus on learning Hindi. Maybe after six months, I will be able to give a full interview in Hindi."
The caption of the video posted by ANI reads, "Delhi: Ambassador of Lithuania to India Diana Mickeviciene speaks in Hindi on how she learnt the Hindi language."
