Reaching goals
I am just thrilled to have come across a language program that is so relatable and user friendly! My husband is originally from Ukraine and I want to learn the language. I decided to listen to one or two podcasts for interest’s sake, but when Anna speaks on podcasts, it’s as if she’s there in person to teach you. I printed off the free lesson notes, and before long decided to purchase all the available seasons! This is such a great tool to have a scheduled learning of the Ukrainian language! It will help to make your dreams reality!
Ukrainian Lessons Podcast — чудовий!
Подкаст відмінний!
I have been studying Ukrainian with the podcast and already can communicate with my Ukrainian friends. It’s an effective way to learn the українська мова.
Дякую Анна!
Слава Україні!
Fantastic
Я люблю українську мову.
Українська мова як музика, і буде моєю третьою мовою.
Моя рідна мова – англійська, я з Австралії.
Подкаст Анни має чудові пояснення.
I really appreciate the written notes to go along with the lessons
I think you are doing an amazing job, Anna. I really appreciate the work you put into this and I hope that it is worthwhile to you!
The main reason I decided to subscribe was for the PDF notes. Being able to see the words in print really helps me to learn, I think. Still, I have to listen to each episode several times in order to learn anything and I’m only at lesson п’ять!
I get frustrated at times because I cannot remember simple things from the first two lessons very easily. It still takes me a second to say ‘Tak’ when you ask if we are ready. I hope that as time goes on these words will come easier.
I can’t think of anything I don’t like about the podcast. Your voice is very nice to listen to and your English is exceptional. You are clear in your pronunciation, though I still have trouble with this word, even after listening to Episode four five times – Зві́дки.
I also cannot understand how to say зу́стрічі and stick with До поба́чення. 🙂 None of that is your fault, though, and I don’t think there is anything that can be done about it. It’s a ‘me’ problem.
I feel a little uncomfortable adding a photo, but that’s another ‘me’ problem I’m trying to overcome. I’m just shy and private.)) That was near the top of a mountain in the province of BC near the town of Osoyoos. Pronounced Oh-soy-yooos. It’s phonetically correct, I think. This was taken in May as I drove to Vancouver for a little vacation.

This podcast is lifechanging
Anna is clearly a brilliant linguist, and manages to convey masses of information in an engaging and exciting way. It means a lot that she has created a resource that is so helpful and accessible for Ukrainian language learners, and that includes contemporary Ukrainian culture. I will definitely stick with her program, and I really hope the community grows!
