Enjoyed first lesson, very clear and easier to understand, nice to be able to pause to take notes. the live video could be placed in the lower right corner of the screen so as not to cover the words.

It was an easy to visualize and follow along introduction to survival Ukranian. Ukrainian language courses are extremely difficult to find even with traditional large brand-name apps (who typically only focus on Russian), so I was ecstatic to find out that this course existed.

Kurs przedstawia podstawy języka ukraińskiego "w pigułce", wśród materiałów są dostępne przydatne linki do tekstów, które pozwalają poszerzyć wiedzę. Plusem kursu jest to, że prowadząca to native speaker oraz to, że skupia się na języku mówionym.

I spoke some Ukrainian in the past but hadn't spoken for a long time and wanted a refresher. Oksana provides a good basic overview with very clear instruction. The links at the end of the lessons are helpful for reinforcement and the quizzes are good to see if you've grasped the language.

Questo corso mi sembra ottimo per l'apprendimento dell'ucraino; mi piacerebbe che fosse spiegato in italiano, spagnolo o esperanto, ma anche in inglese capisco abbastanza bene ciò che viene detto.
By Mark Plets on 5/12/2022
This is a great language course! Each lesson gives you just enough to challenge you without becoming overwhelming, keeping me motivated to continue studying daily. I now feel comfortable for basic communication in Ukrainian which was my goal. Thank you, Oksana!

Good course to really get your feet wet in Ukrainian. I've studied some Ukrainian before and was never explained the genitative case (I had only heard of it) and explained how "to have" or "has" is so different in Ukrainian than English before. That alone was worth the price. I did learn some stuff I had never learned before. The only complaints I have about this course being that she is a native speaker it's good and you can slow her down since the pronunciation is o difficult but it makes her English hard to understand with the pronuncation and accent on English makes it extra hard. And the courses go too fast. You have to watch and listen to some of them more than once so it starts to make sense. But all in all a good course to get your feet wet in Ukrainian.

This pop up is written in German but I would like to recommend to switch off this crazy and confusing text when you`re speaking. If I were you, I would check if the reader can read all your written text.

I love the way make everything so clear, detailed and interesting. I also find the resources and powerpoints very helpful in learning Ukranian. I recommend this course to anyone trying to learn Ukranian.
