    Всім Привіт! I’m learning Ukrainian and looking for someone to exchange written texts with via Skype or Italki. My native language is English, so I would be happy to review texts in English. Ideally we could each write something once or twice a week and then correct one another’s written work. They can be short stories, summaries of an article you have read, what you did that day, etc. I have a few language partners, so I’m not currently looking for a conversation exchange, just exchanging written messages. If you are interested, please feel free to send me a message. Дякую!

    I think you're right, Marlana. I just checked a few minutes of Servant of the People on Netflix... it sounded like it might have been Russian - I heard the word "как" which I'm pretty sure is Russian for "how" a few times. It's strange since Netflix lists the audio as being in Ukrainian. Maybe they use both?

    As someone who is learning Ukrainian, which has a similar alphabet, I would strongly recommend that you not skip learning the alphabet. I think you will find that the learning materials, regardless of your end goals, will be limited. Moreover, I find that when I am presented with the Cyrillic form of Ukrainian words together with a phoneticized, latin version, the Cyrillic version is much easier for me to sound out and pronounce correctly.

    I would say that the amount of time I had to put into learning the alphabet was very minor in comparison to the time I am needing to learn words, master grammar, etc. It might seem off-putting at first, but I think in the long run you will find that learning the alphabet was well worth it, and ultimately one of the easier aspects of learning the language.

    Best of luck!

    Songs in Ukrainian
    Could anyone recommend some good songs in Ukrainian? I would like to refresh my playlist. I like almost all genres of music, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Центральний Перк Всім привіт! Вчора я описала квартиру Моніки та Рейчел. Сьогодні я б хотіла описати центральний перк. В телесеріалі Друзі, головні герої завжди відвідували одне одного у центральний перкі, місцева кав’ярна. Центральний перк був дуже крутим і сучасним. Ну, тобто, у 1990-х роках. У центр кав’ярні розташовувався великі яскраві помаранчевий диван де завжди сиділи друзі. Перед диваном був журнальний столик. Ліворуч з журнальним столиком були два стілець. Між стільцями стояв маленькій стіл. Поряд зі стільцями та диваном стояв бар. За баром розташовувались фантазійні кавомашини. Навпроти бару був вхід. Праворуч від входу була сцена, де завжди співала Фібі. Насправді ви ще можемо відвідати на сайт де Друзі було знято. Сподіваюсь побачити на власні очі колись!

    Hi Hiroshi,

    Here are some of the resources that I use:

    <ol><li>Ukrainian Lessons Podcast (one of the best resources for learning Ukrainian, in my opinion); </li><li>http://www.ukrainianlanguage.org.uk/read/ -- there are some great summaries and charts with respect to grammar. I find this site very handy when I need to double-check the endings for different cases; </li><li>https://slovnyk.ua -- this online dictionary gives you the conjugation for verbs as well as the endings for every case; </li><li>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSTYIEpLtn_dqY7mMBoF3kA -- this YouTube channel is targeted towards beginners, so it may be a bit too easy for you as an A2, but there are still some great videos and it's always helpful to practice listening; </li><li>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1tgxjZRYyLeL7cDJpuLfg -- another great channel for learning Ukrainian with lots of short lessons </li><li>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiZkivSVrGkUaMgUC4LNWzA -- a third channel targeted towards Ukrainian language learners- also lots of useful information </li><li>http://natascha.in.ua -- this is a podcast a language partner of mine started for learners of Ukrainian - every podcast episode has a full script which is very helpful if you don't catch everything while listening;</li><li>https://www.amazon.com/Ukrainian-Language-reader-vocabulary-audio-ebook/dp/B07ZHLMRKS/ref=pd_sim_351_3/132-5231810-3981661?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07ZHLMRKS&pd_rd_r=e3c5af76-60ad-4eb9-9128-479c4acca532&pd_rd_w=P0rKy&pd_rd_wg=MUd44&pf_rd_p=6f740e39-0c25-4380-8008-7a4156dab959&pf_rd_r=DW4CXMV1NAVZF91H9ZHY&psc=1&refRID=DW4CXMV1NAVZF91H9ZHY -- this E-book is for levels A2-B1 - I used the first book published by this author (100 Easy Ukrainian Texts), and really liked it; I anticipate this one will be good as well; </li><li>https://ukrainian-zone.com -- there are some intermediate lessons which may be helpful</li><li> Duolingo -- the duolingo app has Ukrainian - it's not bad as a supplement, particularly if you want to drill cases. </li></ol>


    I hope that helps!

    Квартира Моніки та Рейчел Всім привіт! Одне з моїх улюблених серіалів – це друзі. Я завжди дуже любила квартиру Моніки і Рейчел. Було дуже круто, особливо її фіолетові стіни! Кухня квартири не дуже велика. У центрі кухні дерев’яний стіл. Навколо столу – стільці. Праворуч від столу є білий холодильник. Над холодильником є шафа. Ліворуч від холодильника є умивальник і стільниця. Під стільницею і над стільницею є яскраві зелені шафі. Над умивальником є велике вікно з сонячними жовтими шторами. За столом є духовка. Над духовкою, висить на цегляній стіні, є мідні каструлі. Поруч з кухнею – вітальня. У центр вітальні є білі дивані і перед з ними журнальний столик. Під диванами і столиком є килим. За вітальнею є велике вікно і сидіння біля вікна з подушками.
