I use the book like a child uses a reading book to practice learning words. I found the English translations really helped me highlight new words to learn. The pictures and illustrations were great too. This book is not only a great learning aid but I really like the feeling that in a small way I am helping Ukrainians during this terrible time. Finally, I would like to say a big THANK YOU for your excellent podcasts that have been such an important part in my learning Ukrainian. This is the first language I have dedicated myself to learn and you and your website are invaluable.
