Ukrainian Lessons Podcast — for everyone who learns and loves the Ukrainian language

This is a delightful and very useful podcast. The narrator, Anna, has an obvious love for her subject matter, and seems to delight in each lesson. She also ends each lesson with endearing little “cultural notes.“ I have found this very useful in my efforts to pick up some working knowledge of Ukrainian. I returned to Ukraine seven weeks ago, and am now staying in Kyiv. When I lived here for a few years long ago, I studied Russian, but I never studied Ukrainian. It probably makes it a easier for me to learn Ukrainian this time.But this podcast is really excellent. It does a very nice job of picking different topics and presenting them in a useful and helpful way. And it strikes just the right balance between learning the fundamentals and skipping some of the technical challenges of case and conjugation. It also provides some excellent supplementary written material.

Thank you much for creating this content, I started learning Ukrainian using a language learning app and I wanted to pair it with a native speaker, I found FMU first then I found this and it has helped me with the tenses and the cases.

While searching for help in understanding Ukrainian cases, I found this podcast in its current season (season 6). I quickly realized that it would be ideal for me to start from season 1 and so I dove in. It immediately occurred to me that this threw me back in time to before the current war in Ukraine. I’ve been mesmerized with the time displacement while filling in the blanks of my Ukrainian grammar knowledge. This is exactly what I was looking for and I hang on every word which now carries more weight in the context of Ukraine today (in 2024). I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking to learn and, especially, improve their knowledge of the Ukrainian language. I’d also like to point out that the host, Anna, is an extraordinary teacher. Her absolute love for the subject comes through consistenly and her enthusiasm is infectious. Clearly, there’s a team behind the podcast and they’re surely great but Anna truly sets a great tone for the podcast.

This is an amazing resource for people who love Ukraine and want to learn more about the language and culture, or refresh their memory of Ukrainian language. Thank you for taking the time to build this amazing podcast!
