What languages do you speak? English, Spanish, French?.. Be unique and learn Ukrainian! This language is modern, wide-spread and dignified. Find out 7 reasons to learn Ukrainian and start today!
1. Millions speak it
You will be able to “speak to the hearts” of more than 30 million people whose native language is Ukrainian. These people live not only in Ukraine, but also in North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
2. The official language of a huge country
You will be speaking in the only official language of the 2nd largest country in Europe. By the Ukrainian constitution, the state language of Ukraine is the Ukrainian language.
3. Old and growing
You will be learning a well-developed, rich language with an ancient history, going back to the XII century and earlier.
4. Music to your ears
You will be able to talk (and sing!) in one of the best sounding languages in the world, so soft and so musical! A well-known Christmas carol is originally performed a capella in the Ukrainian language.
5. It looks cool
The Ukrainian Cyrillic alphabet is beautiful. Isn’t it?

6. Easy to pronounce
Letters in Ukrainian are pronounced how they are spelled. So, if you see “професія”, you pronounce each letter “p-r-o-f-e-s-i-ya”, it’s not like reading “profession” in English or French. Fantastic, isn’t it?
7. Language of freedom
And the last, yet still important, reason. Historically speaking, people who speak Ukrainian are courageous, hospitable and caring of each other. By learning Ukrainian you will become a part of a self-respecting nation of dignity and freedom.

Two more reasons to study Ukrainian:
1. Communicate easily when you visit Ukraine! My trips to Ukraine are much more enjoyable since I can now communicate a little in Ukrainian. Anna has helped me to learn this beautiful language. Although I am still a beginner, I plan to become fluent with Anna’s help.
2. It is fun! I love my private Ukrainian lessons with Anna. It is an amazing experience to study this wonderful language with a professional Ukrainian teacher who lives in Ukraine! I take my lessons with Anna through Skype or FaceTime.
