Who You Are Likely to Meet
You never quite know who lands on the other end. Some chats stay close to Latvia and the rest of Northern Europe; others jump straight to Finland, Iceland or somewhere on the far side of the map before you have finished saying hello.
What Language to Expect
English is common as a second language in Latvia, so the practical choice is usually Latvian for the greeting and English for everything after it. Neither side has to work very hard.
Timing Your Chats with Latvia
Latvia sits at UTC+2. That means 8pm there lines up with 7pm in Lagos and 10pm in Dubai, so a little timing turns a quiet queue into a busy one.
