I challenged myself to name the words starting with a certain number and then take a picture and share on the blog. You can read about it here. I use Online random letter generator and the first random letter was K.
Words starting with letter K (in Latvian)
Kaķis – Cat
Koki – Trees
Krupis – Natterjack toad
Kāzas -Wedding
Kartupeļi – Potatoes
Was it easy to read those Latvian words!? Which one is your favorite (word/picture)!?

a day in the life of a latvian mom 
I guess it must be ‘kakis’, though I may be influenced by the picture! (and I love cats). Again I’m struck by the similarity of one word to that in Romanian: kartupeli – cartofi. In English I love the peculiarities of many words beginiing with ‘k’ but which have no ‘k’ sound in the pronunciation, eg: know, knowledge, knitting, knight, knife, knee and even knickerbockers.

It’s great to speak both, English and Latvian, and many other languages, too. I like your idea about randomly choosing letters. The resulting text and images were interesting and funny!
