Both of my Parents are of Ukrainian Heritage. Our Family was very active in Ukrainian Cultural including Liturgical music, Folk Music and Folk Dance. Contributions have been mainly in Canada but we’re also active in Ukraine and United States. My interest is in supporting Ukrainian Culture and Heritage as much as I am able. Watching your channel supports you and your efforts to promote the Ukrainian language. I’m learning and relearning things that I grew up with when Ukrainian was spoken often at home when my Grandparents were still alive. Cheers🇨🇦🇺🇦
Another comment to support the channel. I'm kinda sick of saying why I'm learning Ukrainian since I get this question on a daily basis on Tandem. But this channel deserves all the support it can get! 💕
@LetsLearnUkrainian Can you spell the phrases in English letters for us too please so we can sound out the phrases right. I can read Ukraine it's taking awhile for me to get it. Thank you
In two weeks I will travel to Ukraine for my 8th visit and I take a friend for the first time! The Ukrainian language sounds so beautiful. I hope to spend two months in Ukraine next year learning it more!
A couple of thoughts for those who wish to help support Olya and this channel: 1) make sure you watch the videos in their entirety - If you are using a third party tool to view them (PIP or some other tool to view them) go back and view them (or let them play until the end) in a native RU-vid format.
Great channel! Ukrainian is one of the most lovely spoken languages. Thank you for being dedicated to teaching Ukrainian and sharing it's beauty with us.
Ukrainian is a Wonderful Language, and you do a Tremendous Job!! I study other European Languages, and your videos are a very clear support to Learn Ukrainian and is very, very Important!!
Another comment to help. 👍😁 I’m from Arizona USA and I’ve been watching your channel for a few years. You do a wonderful job with the videos and content, and although I don’t study as much as I used to (I’m also learning Russian now), I’m still learning a lot of new things from you. Thanks 🙏.
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your long videos like which repeat the words a number of times. This grows my vocabulary better than any other kind of exercise. I also like the way you give a lot of examples using other words in combination and provide helpful background information, like other forms of the word and how those are used. I have been working in and around Ukraine since 3 months after the full scale invasion started. I hope to be here for many years as I expand my Resilient Village project. I wish I had more time to spend on learning the language. It is so essential for my work. With these long videos of yours, I can multitask during the day. Since I'm currently in Poland, glued to my computer and not seeing many people at all, you have become my main companion. Not to mention, I learned the language so much better when you "converse" with me as a language teacher. So please keep up the great work and I will continue to spread the word about your excellent programs. I was invited to give a presentation on Ukraine and my work here to the International Association of Emergency Managers in America. The response and the interest of this special group of colleagues in helping Ukraine to rebuild was so encouraging. So maybe we will have more Americans in need of your special skills In the future!
My pleasure to be your company! So glad to read you're enjoying my videos. I will do my best to film more often, comments like yours are a great motivation for me to continue. Thank you so much!
I am Turkish and I am learning Ukrainian. This vid was especially helpful because Ukrainian is a really rich language when it comes to adjectives and nouns. :)
This is great! Will you be putting in some chapters in the description to make it easier to jump to different sections? P.S. typo in the title "srice" should be "spice" 🙂
Thank you so much! I wish I had sorted the adjectives into some sort of sections beforehand but I didn't so in this video they are in a random order :( (Fixed the typo, thanks!)
Thank you for your excellent instruction and enlightenment. Giving examples and giving context to these words is most helpful and puts Ukrainian into proper context for me.
I am in Monrovia Indiana USA 7 hour difference. Ukrainian is not a common language. Sounds nice. I have been working on it work on it for the last five months. I only get about ten minutes a day. I wish I had more time. I use you videos to supplement my on-line class that I use, I can listen as I drive. Mine is not a well structured system. Keep up the good work. Thank You!
I really like the way you give detail to the words, so we get a feel for how to use them. Also the speed of your presentation is perfect, some are too fast at least for beginners, and some videos talk to us like we are children. I can put this on and work on the net with this in the background and if something catches my ear there is time to tune in, + the signboard clues me in to what is being discussed. Yours is one of the best language videos, I say that having used many in a # of languages from French to Welsh.
You always put so much work into your videaos, teaching so many words along with grammar to be considered. Thank you very much for all these useful videos
I'm late to seeing this presentation, but I really think your format to support conversational Ukrainian is amazingly helpful. I live in California, and speak English, but grew up with Ukrainian parents and grandmother, but they did not teach me much. My dad really believed since we lived in America, that we would speak English. All my grandparents came from western Ukraine a hundred years ago, and only taught me a few words. But I visited 2 years ago, and am really wanting to return. I have been learning the languages there (even the r-language) for over two years-- online and with a teacher who lives there now. But your format, and with teaching methods I find it is helping so much. Дуже дякую Оля!
Thank you very much for another great video. l am learning Ukrainian because my fathers parents came from Ukraine to Australia because of W.W. ll. When l was a child l heard my father & Baba speaking in Ukrainian . Baba tried to teach me some Ukrainian language, but l did not learn a lot . So now l am trying to learn the language properly .
I once learned Russian from Russian speaking Ukrainians. And I still study Russian, if only to protect my investment of time. But still yet, I am very close to one Ukrainian tutor who used to live in Irpin. From friendship with her, and my sympathy for the Ukrainian cause has driven my decision to begin studying Ukrainian.
Kormac from Vancouver Canada. Very sorry about what is happening to your country. Ukrainian is one of the most beautiful languages in the world and so are the people. i would like to visit your country one day but I should learn the language first. U Your tutorials are the best all round blend of conversation, grammar and vocabulary. Thankyou. Stay strong.
Thank you so much for your channel. I already know some Ukrainian, and I can follow TV programs in your language. Thanks to your channel I am improving my knowledge. Ще раз дякую пані Олгьо, ви дійсно яскрава жінка 🙂🙂🌺
I Like your teaching because I can learn many words in a short amount of time. It has less English. I started learning Ukrainian three years ago (although still not good at it but I am not giving up!) because my brother married a really wonderful Ukrainian lady. I had hoped (at that time) to go to Ukraine. I want to visit her family and help a Christian mission there (Last Bell). But now I must wait. I plan to come and help someday! Thank you for your videos!
Keep up the learning my friend im also watching her videos day in and out and i'm 1 month into the language myself. She is wonderful and i hope she is doing alright ❤
I grew up in Canada, with parents that spoke Ukrainian at home sometime. I learned some in school as well,in the 1970's when out education system found value in teaching other languages. Now that I am older and love to travel to Europe, I find knowing any other language can be helpful, as my wife is only English speaking and I can figure out signs and menus quicker. In saying that, she is learning some because I do talk to her in Ukrainian. Great for brain development. Keep up the great work. Я дуже дачний за твої уроки
I come from the South of Ukraine but I've spend almost every summer vacation at my grandparents house in Ternopil region and I speak that dialect fluently. My grandmother lives in like 10 km from Ternopil
Great video, very insightful. Aussie living in europe, have a lot of ukranian friends and colleagues, hence I started learning as a sign of solidarity.
I am from Cameroun I study médecin in Ukraine I speak French and English I thought it was impossible to master Ukrainian until I find you so thank you. I would love to have random discussion in Ukrainian with Bank attendant , Doctors or train attendants using noun cases
Yet another great Video. Thank you very much. :) I find these videos very informative with a great format. I spend my time between Bavaria (German is my Native Tongue), Texas and Zhytomyr. I am learning Ukrainian in order to better understand my business partners, friends, and culture in Ukraine. What I find the most difficult to learn in Ukrainian are Idioms. I also find it difficult when I spend time in villages, people there appear to speaking a blend of Russian and Ukrainian. You have created excellent videos explaining how cases, gender, and numerical value , etc. pertains to nouns - It may be useful to point learners to your previous lessons regarding the relationship between the noun and the adjective describing the noun. Just a thought. Please don’t be discouraged, I believe Quality over Quantity is best, each and every one of your videos are packed with Quality Content. Everyone learns differently - me for example learn best with shorter lists of new words as I find myself going back to your earlier lessons and applying the rules for case, gender, perfective/imperfective verbs, etc. Recently your long lists become a bit overwhelming. I like the format, just not the long lists. :). I will be back in Zhytomyr come March after spending the December, January and February in Bayern. Keep up the great work, I for one really appreciate your efforts. Thank you so very much.
Thank you, Richard for the support you express towards my channel, it truly means a lot! I agree, everyone is learning differently and I see how overwhelming those long videos could be. My thoughts behind these long vocab videos were that they will be perfectly suitable for those who like to consume information in big volumes at once and for people who just like to listen to a language and with shorter videos one needs to keep going back to their computer and searching for a new one to watch. And those, who like shorter ones can just listen for a small part and then get back again, when they're ready. However, I will consider making shorter videos as well, so that everyone can find a suitable format for them on my channel! Hope you'll have a great time in Ukraine! What a great chance to practise the language with native speakers :)
I started learning Russian about 10 years ago, since the start of the war I switched to Ukrainian and I'll try to learn both, most likely. I hope that in the not too distant future I will be able to come and visit your beautiful country and I'll try to make myself useful and help where I can with the reconstruction.
Hi from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada my grandparents are from Ukraine they are long gone as are my parents but I want to learn Ukrainian for myself and to communicate with the ever growing Ukrainian population here, thanks 7:02
Дякую знов, Оля! На жаль, на 4 місяці коментари не було! Мені ця лекція дуже корисна та цікава. Сьогорні я прослухав це все. Gотроху я прогресую... Всього найкращого Вам і Вашим близьким!
Twitter has recently done this too. They are de boosting accounts tht do not get comments. This channel is great. Im from usa, I learn Україна to support Україна ! ❤
@@LetsLearnUkrainian i listen to your videos on the drive to work Thursday and Friday morning. Excellent platform to teach from. Also helps that you are a teacher. Keep up the good work friend! 🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸🫡
Thanks for the video. It popped up after I watched some other Ukraine video. Also, тупий is 'dull'. You can say it about a person as well, but it means more that he is boring.
Greetings from California. I am learning Ukrainian because I wish to travel there and I want to translate songs that I love into your language so that the words seem natural. My first project is Talking Heads “life during wartime “. It seemed simple but I am learning no good translation is easy.
I volunteered for the International Defense Legion. Thank you for making these videos. As for RU-vid I think shorter videos do better. I really want to learn Ukrainian. Most people sort of casually browse around. Most won’t take the time to watch a 90:minute video.
I think you’re right about the 90 minute video thing but I certainly appreciate the longer videos, it makes for less searching and starting for someone who drives a lot.
Mostly support. Clean up after the Ukraine regulars conduct an assault or a drone strike. Run supplies around. Also knowledge transfer. NATO countries have the most thorough infantry training in the world.
Дуже дякую за вашого каналу. Цікаво і корісно. Ви розмовляєте чітко. Я з Фінляндії. Я хочу вівчити українську мову, щоб подорожувати у вільну Україну і говорити там українською.
Learning Ukrainian to be able to translate for Ukrainian kids in English school, I live in England and these days Polish people helping a bit. Living in UK that's might be useful. I had Russian during my education, so it's quite a lot I understand already. You know, little from Polish, little from Russian's. Obviously I hope all would be over, with Ukraine free, but for know, had idea to expand my knowledge. Just in case.
Your lessons are very good quality. Well done. I hope you're and family safe these days. I hope Kiev and rest of Ukraine will be safe and independent soon. Maybe you could do some help in English for Ukrainians coming to UK? Or for kids joining school in UK? Anyway Keep Strong and Safe
Hello from California u like you as a teacher i am learning ukraune?because i thunk i wull like to be ready to communicate with my new Ukrainian friends and family
I am learning the Ukrainen language because Ukraine 🇺🇦 people are the most beautiful people, the most brave people, and the leaders of the free world. I have visited Ukraine and hope to invest in Ukraine 🇺🇦 God bless Ukraine. English is my native language, and I am a citizen of the USA 🇺🇸 Слава Україні
… 3) And now for the tip I should be using but don’t - If you all have a long comment it is better for us/you to create more short comments rather then one long one. - Almost all of the social media algorithms value quantity over quality - Unlike Olya’s lessons. but don’t make many short comments the algorithm will catch and discount them. Also replying to comments to others that post will help. too.
