From what I learned while researching my own family case, citizenship by descent is a bit different from regular naturalization, so the requirements are usually more about proving your ancestry than language or living in the country. When I was confused about it, I ended up reading through https://www.lithuaniancitizenship.com/
and it explained that the main focus is confirming that your ancestor was a Lithuanian citizen and that your family line connects back to them. That was a relief because I also don’t speak Lithuanian and currently live in another country. A friend of mine went through something similar and said the hardest part wasn’t language at all — it was gathering old records from relatives and archives. Once you understand the eligibility rules, it becomes much clearer what steps actually matter.
