What you get
Everything you need to start speaking
Short daily lessons built around songs you will actually find yourself humming, with real Ukrainian voices and the culture that gives the words their meaning.
Слухай і повторюй
Natural Ukrainian voice on every word
Every word, phrase and lyric line has its own clip, spoken by a natural Ukrainian voice. Listen, repeat, and hear the stress in the right place.
Культура
Culture, regions and food
Traditions and festivals, the vyshyvanka, folk crafts, 15 regions on an interactive map, and the dishes Ukrainians love, with every word voiced.
Жива мова
79 real-life lessons
The Ukrainian people actually use: toasts, polite phrases, slang, false friends, texting, and what to say at the table, the doctor or the station.
Легкі слова
1,945 quick-win words
Words you can already guess because they sound like English, plus a list of false friends that look familiar and mean something else.
Повторення
Practice that sticks
Spaced review brings each word back just before you would forget it. Flip cards, typing, listening, speaking, reading and short tests.
Have a listen
Day 1: Привіт! Як справи?
Hello! How are you?
This is the very first song in the course. By the end of it you can greet someone, ask how they are, and answer. Day 2 has a new song, and so does every day after that.
Chorus
- Привіт!
- Hello!
- Як справи?
- How are you?
- Добре, дякую!
- Good, thank you!
- А ти?
- And you?
In the course, every one of these lines plays on its own when you tap it.

English speakers who want to talk with Ukrainian family and friends, volunteers, people moving to or visiting Ukraine, and anyone who loves the language.
