Hi! My name is Aya. I am from Latvia. Do you now were Latvia is?
Hello Aya,
Welcome to english-test.net and many thanks for your question. Yes, I know where Latvia is. It’s a small Baltic state that became an EU member in 2006. Its capital is Riga and many people in Latvia speak three languages. Am I right?
Regards,

Latvia is, of course, where Latvian is spoken. Of course I know where Latvia is.
Your capital is Riga, you were once persecuted by the USSR (CCCP), and you’re a young, burgeoning republic with access to the Baltic.
Your soccer team wears maroon shirts and shorts.
The way to this man’s heart is through his stomach – would you mind telling us about Latvian cuisine? What do you guys like to eat?
We have delicious brown bread, brown peas with lard, fried patatos with barbecued ribs, herring with curds and patatos and pickled cabbagea and a lot of others tasty meals. It’s nice. Yes, you are right. Have you been in Latvia?
No, but I’d love to visit. Do Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians get along, or is there a rivalry between the Baltic states?
Your food sounds delicious… warm homemade bread, peas cooked in lard, ribs and fried taters would get me to answer the dinner bell every time.
Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians are different, but we live near and don’t have rivalry. And I want to visit USA some day:)
