Recently the company I work for employed some Ukranian people that try to integrate in our culture which I have 1000 times respect for. Almost nobody tries to interact with them which I don’t appreciate, therefor every time I see them I start a conversation with them and try to have a fun time. I admire how they try to speak our language and I can imagine how difficult it has to be for them. So to make them feel more comfortable I try to speak some Ukranian with them as well and these video’s are a great help to do so, so thanks for the helpful lessons!!
Thanks for being kind and welcoming. 🇺🇦 are greatly suffering. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for them to adjust to a new culture and not speak the language.
Well if nobody bothers to make a BEGINNER'S course (where people want to learn a few phrases) using the Latin alphabet: it's understandable. Very very few people will want to learn to read a new alphabet Before they learn their first 100 phrases.
First of all, I want to thank you for your willingness to teach a language as difficult as Brazilian Portuguese. I am a Brazilian living in London, and in my journey as a polyglot, I have studied, in addition to English, Spanish, French, Italian, and now, Ukrainian. In French and Italian, I am still a beginner. But in your language, I still need to study a lot to become a beginner! ha ha ha. I have already looked at some videos on your channel for beginners, and I will watch them soon. Your calm and serene way of teaching enchants me, and soon, I will also be a sponsor. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN And soon, we will see you in your circle and soon, in your country! Happy New Year!
This is hilarious I have a coworker named Nika from Georgia and his wife was from Ukraine that’s why I’m trying to learn a little bit of Georgian and Ukrainian. Didn’t expect you to use Nika as an example name hahahaha😂

Great method & content as always! With calm teaching, expressions etc. I love it! Personally, In that way I always find it easy to learn & remember these day to day words, phrases or sentences 😊👍👍
So happy to find this channel. There's a Ukrainian girl that works with me but she speaks very little English and I feel bad for her because no one to communicate with. I'm going to try and learn. I wrote down almost all these phrases in a way that I could pronounce them in English syllables. Do you have any recommendations for learning the language from a beginners standpoint? Speaking it seems like it will be easier than hearing it and understanding. Thanks again.
I love your blouse and the wall behind you. This may seem trivial to the study of the Ukrainian language but a pleasant visual experience helps to stay and do the work of studying. Слава Нації

hello, I have been living in SouthWest Ukraine (Chernitsi oblast) since 2015, I never had in my life a so peaceful and nice living, people are very nice and Italians are welcome. Until now I just studied Russian even knowing that the two languages are different, but on Internet I never found any professional teacher ....... until today. all the best
If I had the money, I would see my name on this list. But at least, I am studying Ukrainian every day and encouraging other Americans to study. One never knows when a Ukrainian asylum seeker might end up settling into Orange County, California. But if it happens and when it happens, I will let you know about it, Nika. Keep up your excellent work.
Hi Nika, there are many useful phrases in this lesson. Actually there were quite a few new ones, that I had not heard before. I will try to make those flash cards. It will definitely help to learn them by heart.
Would be nice if this had the phonetics that correspond to the Ukrainian words that are put in a sentence alongside the translation , it's alot harder for non-native speakers especially those not accustomed to the Cyrillic letters that Ukrainian possess ,just saying but other than that it's excellent
Я из США и я люблю географию, астрологию, историю, рисованию и учу языки. Я учу языки в мой дом в хобби. Я знаю 🤏🤏 Русский язык и я тоже знаю 🤏 Украинский язык.
I've tried and tried, but I can't get the head motion right when I say my name is Nina. Something gets lost in translation. But I'm motivated to keep trying.
У мене одне запитання. You include the apostrophes for showing where the stress should be. Is this normally done or is it only done in language guides?
May I ask which part of Ukraine you are from Nika? One of my frustrations with Ukrainian is never knowing for certain whether I'm listening to 'pure' Ukrainian or a heavily Russian-influenced spoken version by people who perhaps speak a lot of Russian in their daily lives. Wikipedia has this to say on the subject: "There are some typical deviations which may appear in spoken language (often under the influence of Russian).[20] They are usually considered phonetic errors by pedagogists.[21] - [ɨ] for /ɪ/ - [t͡ɕ] for /t͡ʃ/ and [ɕt͡ɕ] or even [ɕː] for [ʃt͡ʃ] - [rʲ] for /r/, [bʲ] for /b/, [vʲ] for /w/ in certain words (Ха́рків, Об, любо́в’ю) - [v] or [f] (the latter in syllable-final position) for [w ~ u̯ ~ β̞ ~ ʋ ~ ʍ] (любо́в, роби́в, вари́ти, вода́),[10] in effect also turning /f, w/ into a true voiceless-voiced phoneme pair, which isn't present in the standard language - Final-obstruent devoicing" When you say "Як справи?" for example, the final vowel really sounds like the Russian ы (/ɨ/) to my ears. Another example: I thought the 'proper' Ukrainian pronunciation of Lviv is something like 'LeView' (using English spelling), ending in a vowel. But then I've heard Ukrainians, who insist they speak correctly, say it with a 'v' (or even /f/!) at the end. But I when I played them the 'proper' version (go to the Wikipedia article of Lviv and listen to the audio), they wouldn't even hear the difference when to me they sound worlds apart. Of course, not everyone is an expert on phonology so it is often difficult to have these discussions.
У мене є запитання, будь ласка. «Мене звати Ніка» Чому це не «Мене звати Ніко» Тільки Кличний відмінок якщо інші люди говорять ваше ім'я? Але в даному випадку це "так мене називають люди" Просто цікавлюся ...
Добрий вечір, Ларсе! Так, ви правильно кажете - кличний відмінок, тільки коли ми звертаємося до другої особи або кличемо її (тому і назва - кличний, від "кликати"). Коли ми кажемо своє ім'я, то кажемо у називному відмінку. Наприклад, "мене звати Ларс". Але я скажу вам: "Ларсе, привіт!".
@@VERBA_SCHOOL Дякую, Ніко, це було, як я і очікував, просто іноді корисно уточнити, я вважаю, що це допомагає моєму розумінню не просто запам'ятовувати, а й справді розуміти логіку. І вам гарних вихідних!
Яблуко)) Комунікативний підхід, індуктивна подача граматики, сучасні тексти з гумором (правда ще довоєнні) і багато фото та ілюстрацій. В цілому прямо дуже непоганий, якщо доповнювати стараннями досвідченого вчителя 😁
@@VERBA_SCHOOL Вже глянув ваш сайт. Добра робота. Додайте кілька ознайомчих сторінок до підручників, може також 2-3 уроки із студентами. Я не експерт з української чи веб-дизайну. Лише викладач англу, тому розумію, що навіть записати аудіо до підручників -- велика робота. Прийміть мій респект незалежно від вмісту книжок.
My name is Mark. I feel the same way as you, Nika. I was born in Canada to a father with U.K. roots (Wales/Scotch/Irish) and a Ukrainian mother. I spent much time growing up with my Gido and Baba, and many Ukrainian uncles, aunts and cousins. The sound of Ukrainian language (for me) is warmth and love of family. My Ukrainian language skills are minimal. I am trying to improve them and trying to help some Ukrainians Who fled Ukraine due to the invasion. I will work hard. Thank you for your wonderful efforts to give us these lessons. ❤
You're doing this wrong. You need to recite the English phrase right before reciting the Ukrainian phrase so that people can connect the two phrases together in the same part of their brain. And probably repeat that twice for each phrase. If someone is just listening to the video, they hear only Ukrainian. Remember that your videos are for people who can't really understand Ukrainian yet and you are speaking only in one language that they don't know yet
And then - congratulations, you won't learn a thing, because your brain will focus on the things that it knows - on English. Translating is really not the best way of learning any language. While focusing on the language thst you study, recalling your previous knowledge and eliciting the meanings are something that really works.
@@VERBA_SCHOOL I disagree completely. You need to pair the new language words with the equivalent words in the old language you already know. All you're doing is repeating phrases in a new language. This isn't a video about conversational learning, which is a higher level. Anyone learning these basic phrases doesn't know any Ukrainian at all. If you just listen to the video all you are hearing is Ukrainian words. How would you know what they mean just by listening? You are actually giving the audience a distraction by making them read english, and in small print. The audio and visual parts of the brain are different, so you are not building very good neural links between the two languages when you don't repeat the words in both languages. Reading and listening at the exact same time creates an obstacle because you are asking for 2 things to happen at once in the brain.

I'm struggling with "nice to meet you"
How would you spell the sounds in English?
I've tried and tried, but I can't get the head motion right when I say my name is Nina. Something gets lost in translation. But I'm motivated to keep trying.
1000th like!!
Thanks! But one small request: I think it would be better to have the English translation appear at the same time as the Ukrainian text.
If you repeat the phease in english i could have used this while commuting
Does anyone knows what Risik means?
У мене одне запитання. You include the apostrophes for showing where the stress should be. Is this normally done or is it only done in language guides?
Can you use the informal noun "you", please? You wouldn't say Vy to a friend, right?
Yes, absolutely 👌
It would be helpful to add the proper transliteration.
2:45 last sentence sounds a little bit Greek
👍👍
Word for don't worry is a real tongue twister. I had a hard time pronouncing it!
