Привіт! Мене звати Анна Огойко. My name is Anna Ohoiko. I am a Ukrainian language specialist – I teach, translate and study my native Ukrainian language.
In June 2016, I have created the Ukrainian Lessons Podcast – a series of free audio lessons that help people around the world to learn conversational modern Ukrainian, step by step.
The audio episodes of the Ukrainian Lessons Podcast are always free of charge. As of August 2018, we have developed more than 80 episodes – 15-30 minute portions of the Ukrainian language and culture. The Season #3 is ongoing now!
If you want to support Ukrainian Lessons Podcast and enjoy weekly PDF Lesson Notes & Vocabulary flashcards (every 10 episodes), you can become Ukrainian Lessons Premium Member.
Download the Lesson Notes once a week, follow the texts and explanations, review your vocabulary in the lists and practice with exercises. And… enjoy your Ukrainian learning!

What I like about ukrainian
What I like about ukrainian lessons premium membership, is having the lesson notes to follow along with the audio recordings, and also the bonus exercises. The flashcards are also a huge help!
What I don’t like(would like to see), would be more lessons geared towards a family situation such as: getting kids ready for school, ready for bed.
A very great help to learn Ukrainian
As a teacher of French as a foreign language, I really appreciate the quality of the podcast offered by Anna. The length, the rhythm of each dialog is perfect. I really like the fact that the dialog is repeated twice and then explained part after part. Many many thanks!
Чудова вчителька!
Life is always an adventure! I grew up in the U.S., speaking Ukrainian at home and our Ukrainian Orthodox Church. I even attended Школа Українознавства for 8 years. To be honest, I didn’t always appreciate sitting there while the other kids were out playing. When we visited Ukraine many many years ago I realized what a great heritage I had. In memory of this heritage we named our son Taras.
I live in Germany now and when my parents passed away I no longer really had the opportunity to hear or speak Ukrainian. Thanks to the internet I came across Anna’s website and podcast and I love it!
Anna herself is so charming and engaging and her lessons are a delightful incentive to revive dormant vocabulary and traditions. I am beginning to think it would be a good idea to visit Ukraine again. Being a language teacher myself I don’t claim to be an expert, but perhaps a pretty good judge of what and how Anna puts across her endeavors.
Dedicated to the last syllable, motivating and it’s always a pleasure to listen to her charming голосочок. Анна фантастична and for anyone seriously interested in learning Ukrainian, her podcast is the place to be. For anyone without any previous knowledge her Premium Membership is a valuable addition. Go for it and remember, practice makes perfect. Гарного дня, всього найкращого!
No not Russian, Ukrainian please
Anna is an excellent teacher and this is easily the best language podcast available in any language. At first I was very frustrated looking for Ukrainian texts – most stores in the SF Bay Area have extensive Russian language reference works but rarely carry anything in Ukrainian other than the Lonely Planet guide. I now have a three-pronged approach to learning Ukrainian – Anna’s podcast, Duolingo daily drill, and conversation with my friend Anastasia from Kiev. Hopefully by the time I visit this year I will be able to speak and understand the basics. Happy New Year!
