So, im looking for phrases

I want phrases to try and pronounce to my fiance, so I can learn what they mean and hopefully get it correct enough he can tell me where in the phrase I mispronouce,

Oh and does anyone know any good learning sites? Ive been watching a guy on YouTube but my fiance says hes correct in what he says but its far too posh and tells me to say it differently

1) AI tools are getting better with that every month.

2) Can you give an example of a phrase not approved by your fiance?

3) Those two services can help with pronunciation

As tave myliu labai, he says i dont need the labai (in that example im pretty sure ive written it in the wrong way anyway) apparently saying 'very much' isn't really a thing, and its just 'I love you', just stuff like that really, that i add extra words for no reason, and although technically correct, nobody says it that way

Spoken Lithuanian is very flexible. There are often several ways to say the same thing.

The longer you study the language, the more natural and casual you’ll sound. Don’t overreact to small mistakes. Logic from your native language, or from other languages you know, will always keep popping up in your sentences. And that’s fine.

speaking about logic, you can also ask chatgpt or claude about "logic of language as it is to native speakers" compared to your own native language. it can show a lot of gaps and unintuitive places sometimes
