I'm Polish, my boyfriend is Ukrainian. He speaks Polish really well and I started learning Ukrainan with your channel to talk with his relatives. Can't speak actually but I understand it. I fully support you, this war is a horror for us all. You, staying in your country and us, people in Poland reading news all the time and trying to help woman and children which arrived to Poland, seeing how little we can do. I'm glad to see you healthy. Great video! We are with you all with our hearts, thinking about Ukrainian people all the time.
🙏🤍🇵🇱❤️🙏💙🇺🇦💛🙏
@@unclefester831 LOL russian drunken soldiers cannot even keep Kherson and you are talking about attacking NATO? Put the vodka away, Ivan
Instead of hiding in Poland, your friend should fight for Ukraine. Maybe he'll have to anyway 'cause Poland is getting ready to invade Ukraine to grab its western part.
@@robinhood5935 lol, a nice russian projection in here
@@simongrushka983 I'm glad you like it. Enjoy yourself.
This is clearly filmed before current events. But the fact that she's still uploading means she is still alive, thank God!
My thoughts exactly. ❤️🙏🇺🇦
Yes! Thank God Inna @SpeakUkrainian is alive!
Inna I am glad that you are doing well, thanks for the update, Slava Ukraini 🙏🙏 peace ☮️🕊️ and love ❤️😘💖
Hi, 이나. I'm Korean. This video made me think of the history of Korea. So many things in common Ukraine and Korea, hearbreaking history.... Using Korean was prohibited, Publishing in Korean was banned by Japan only about 80 years ago... Thank you so much for this video, 이나. I pray for peace with all my heart in Ukraine and everyone's safety.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Slava Korea 🇰🇷
We also pray for your people, empathize with you. stay cool as you are ;) 대한민국의 평화와 번영을 기원합니다 (google translate, i hope it translated correctly)
Interestingly, Ukrainians prohibited speaking Hungarian in its western region, too. In the East Russian language and traditions were surpressed.
@@elg0rdo351 proofs?)))
So, not only I thought about it. I have been interested in Korea for a few years and noticed that our stories are similar and even mentalists. Also, we are alike because both of our nations are very musical (especially in singing).
Дякую за урок історії, мила Інна! Будь ласка, будьте максимально безпечні. Ми вас любимо!
I went to a Ukrainian language school in the 1970’s in Canada. I’ve lost much of the language but have been working hard the last few month…a beautiful language. Great video. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦
Heroyam Slawa!!!!
Героям слава
Вибачаюсь,але я не знаю як це писати по англійській мові
Ukraine exemplifies the fight for freedom. And they will succeed because they are adaptive, creative, and caring. Ukraine is the embodiment of freedom and grit over oppression and tyranny. The world is in their debt for their heroic example.
💙 Slava Ukraini 💛
Do you have Ukrainian descent? Rachinski sems to be Polish name :)
@@gorniklecznaman3414 yes, it is Polish however my Mother’s family is Ukrainian from Chernivtsy, and and Father’s family, who are Polish, were from the Lviv area. I’m Polish/Ukrainian but my roots are firmly in Ukraine. I’m proud of both sides; especially now.
It's embarrassing that I did not know much about Ukraine before, but thanks to this video, I learned a little about Ukraine's history.
I hope that peace will soon return to Ukraine.
It is not a very large amount, but I made a donation to Embassy of Ukraine in Japan.
You literally funded more death upon innocent people
I hope to visit Ukraine whenever it is safe to do so. Stay safe and take care of yourself, Inna! Pozdrowienia z Polski!
Ukraina wygra tę wojnę. Jestem tego pewny. ❤️🇺🇦❤️
Привіт, Inna.
I'm very glad to see you keep doing a fantastic job! Well done!
The Ukrainian language is as beautiful and unique as its people. Besides, the people of Ukraine are very friendly and generous to guests and visitors. It is important to mention these are just a few reasons to learn how to speak this lovely language!
With that being said, I wish you and all Ukrainians a day filled with love, solidarity, and hope. Have a nice day and take care of yourself, Inna.
Слава Україні! 💛💙🕊
Героям слава🇺🇦🇺🇦
Don't listen to those people who try to not give a value to the Ukrainian language, we are free to teach or learn even the languages which are not used anymore, like Latin or Phoenician who knows, it's something about passion for knowledge and learning not only for the benefits in this modern world, because if it's for only benefits we all have to forget our native languages and speak English! But no! We love our own native languages and will share them with this world, thank you Inna! You're well educated person. God bless you and your loved ones.
Hello, I am from Chile, I have the desire and the motivation to learn Ukrainian. Do not let the Ukrainian language die, it is very beautiful. A strong hug.
as a Ukrainian American your channel has helped me stay connected to my roots and helped me stop speaking surzhik as much. stay safe! Slava Ukrayini
Great video. I am 30 years old from Poland, was learning Russian at school next to English, and today I can follow media in Russian and hold a conversation on a relatively good level. But to be honest, since the war started, I am more and more interested in learning Ukrainian. I enjoy the sound, I have Ukrainian friends, and even more important - it is a language of heroes. People will be talking for years about your bravery and the sound of Ukrainian will be associated with courage, pure heart, and strength. I wish you all the best, and please continue your work. Slava Ukraini!
Hahahahahaha, a brainwashed one.
Thanks!
I love those videos! I’m from the Netherlands and I wanna learn Ukrainian so bad! Tysm for making those videos keep going!!❤️
Wenn eine Fremdsprache lernen willst, du muss ein gute Methode haben.
I’m Norwegian and learning Ukrainian. I went to Ukraine for the first time late last year to adopt my beautiful dog and I loved it, even though it was a little bit scary also. I want to go back in the future but then I want to speak Ukrainian and learn more about your culture. Thank you so much Inna for making these videos, they are very useful to me! You’re a great teacher 🇺🇦🙌
It happened with India too but we are still fighting. Britishers ruled us for 190 years and they even changed our history, but in recent times many great historians are writing books exposing them.
You guys are going through a rough time, keep on pushing hard, one day you all will be much appreciated.
They did the same thing in Ireland which is still partly occupied by Britain. Modern Brits are lovely people but historically not so much, & the settlers in the north of Ireland are perhaps similar to east of Ukraine. I.e. it's not their descendants' fault but they should celebrate their culture without dividing the nation where they now live.
Every empire does this, not just the British or the Russian. My country was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for 500 years. They have not been able to change our language and religion significantly, but culturally they have largely succeeded.
Pressure your government to reverse its abstention votes in the UN on issues of Russian aggression. In these times it appears as covert support of Russia.
Before Britishers only 15 percent of people had right to study which are upper caste hindus or rich Muslims(women not included)...although Britishers did economical damage to us (indians)...but they made education accessible to all people...all people could study and get educated(only for there greedy purpose to slave us )but it benefits all other people who weren't allowed to study due to social inequality, gender or religion....and if you gonna talk about hindi...than just read history and reports about how many Indians actually speak hindi....
I am Ukrainian raised in the USA and my family refused to teach me Ukrainian because of the Russian aggression. I have been learning Ukrainian from you for a while now. Thank you.
@Dimitry Russkiy 🇷🇺 "Z"V" russian language is a language of murderers and fascists, so, russian, go to russia and keep yourself shut there
@Dimitry Russkiy 🇷🇺 "Z"V" Thank you for identifying yourself as a utilitarian Machiavellian. Altruistic humanitarians beware the cultural genocide of Russification!
@Dimitry Russkiy 🇷🇺 "Z"V" Why would people want to go there
@Dimitry Russkiy 🇷🇺 "Z"V" I have been living outside Poland for 15 years now and ask same question lol
@Dimitry Russkiy 🇷🇺 "Z"V" Relax, just keep calm, have more friends is always better than single enemy. I'm sure that just her personal opinion, in fact, she don't have any purpose going to there, for now, who knows in future 🙂
What happened to your country has inspired me to learn this language. The love you tell your students to have is my love for your country and your people and their amazing integrity. 💙💛 I gave up trying to learn Russian years ago because I had no love for it. The fact that Ukrainian was a language the Russians didn't like makes me want to learn it all the more. 🇺🇲💙💛🇺🇦
I would prefer to say Vladimir than Volodimir.
Hi. I'm Russian. why do you think that Russians didn't like Ukrainian? this is an incorrect statement.
@@Yaroslav.Macwolf Well, I don’t know, but what other reason did he decide that we in Russia do not like the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian language. especially in Russia, half of the inhabitants (and maybe even more) have Ukrainian or Belarusian roots. I am Russian myself, I live in Russia and I understand Ukrainian well. Would I start learning Ukrainian if I didn’t like this language?😕
@@Yaroslav.Macwolf hm, invadors love invaded country. It is such an interesting statement
@@Yaroslav.Macwolfit doesn't matter, what person, who supports willless Russia, claims
Thank you, Inna. 🇺🇦
Brilliant video, Inna! Bravo! 🇺🇦
Thank you for such an eloquent lesson of Ukraine's history in such easy bite sizes of information. It is heart wrenching seeing what is happening - much love from Australia
Привiт, Inna! Thank you so much for this history lesson. I wish the entire world could see this video. I understand the importance of a language to a country’s culture (my home is bilingual). I will do my best to support you and your country. My prayers are with all of you! ❤️
Really informative, thankyou for cultural/historical background to the conflict between the languages/countries.
Thankyou Inna, insightful amd brings understanding. Love to you, hope you are well.
I have no problem with you teaching the Ukrainian language. I am very grateful that you do because I have learnt a lot from you. Please keep it up.
It breaks my heart to see this dedicated, charming, and very lovely teacher presenting her videos with such pain and sorrow in her eyes. Somehow it reminds me of the Ukrainian song Вона. Hopefully this weekend I will link up with some French journalists in Lviv and perhaps be of help there. I hope that soon enough you will be able to teach your students without any fear and sadness. Stay safe and take care, Inna!
Слава Україні! Героям слава!
Thank you for always uploading such helpful and informative videos! I started learning Ukrainian last year and was immediately so star struck by it! I fell in love with the language and culture.
I hope you’re doing well and are safe Inna! Keeping the people of Ukraine in my prayers. Слава україні 💛🇺🇦
Such a great video with a good explanation! Thank you for your job!
So much appreciate to you, Inna for your position and wonderful channel! Thanks a lot!
You know what I so much admire? That after all the years of occupation the ukranians never lost/gave up their culture. It would have been so easy to just submit but they never did and therefore experience so much suffer. Similar to Estonia.
It'd be nice to hear updates about the situation there from someone we trust like you Inna.
Дякую за історичний урок.
Keep up the great work!! Looking forward to starting your program
Great exposure of history and suffering,Ina keep up that great Work👍
Привет!
(English text below)
Я учусь на востоковеда, так что отчасти лингвист (мовознавець, кажется?), хоть и в основном занимаюсь восточными языками. Но имея те знания, которые получила в университете, прекрасно понимаю, что украинский язык - никакой не диалект, самостоятельный язык, национальный язык Украины, который нужно развивать и поддерживать.
Кстати, даже на территории России некоторые слабые республики уже начинают потихоньку утрачивать свои национальные языки. У меня парень калмык, он знает на своем языке лишь пару слов. Если о других славянских странах: многие белорусы же вообще не говорят на своём языке. Культурная идентичность ослабевает.
Очевидно, почему многие украинцы сейчас перешли на украинский. Мне нравятся украинский язык, особенно песни, я по ним уже даже немного разобралась в фонетике. Многие русские могут понимать украинскую речь, ведь славянские языки похожи, но на то они и языки, что развивались самостоятельно! А те, кто называют их "диалектами" - глупы. Пусть книги по языкознанию читают.
Hey!
My major is oriental studies, so I'm a bit of a linguist (мовознавець, I guess?), although I'm mostly into oriental languages. But considering the knowledge that I got at the university, I perfectly understand that the Ukrainian language is not a dialect, an independent language, the national language of Ukraine, which needs to be developed and supported.
By the way, even on the territory of Russia, some weak republics have already begun to lose their national languages. My boyfriend is Kalmyk, he knows only few words in his language. Talking about Slavic countries: many people in Belarus don't speak their own language at all. Cultural identity is vanishing.
It is obvious why many Ukrainians have now switched to Ukrainian completely. I like the Ukrainian language, especially the songs, I even got a little understanding of phonetics from listening to them. Many Russians can understand Ukrainian, because the Slavic languages are similar, but they ARE languages that have been developed on their own! And those who call them "dialects" are stupid. Let them read books on linguistics.
Unfortunately, those people aren’t stupid, they are doing it on purpose in propaganda to justify their aggression to their people and to try to gaslight the world to keep them from helping Ukraine 🇺🇦
Дякую, те, що треба! ❤❤❤
I am from New Zealand, and just recently got into Ukrainian. I have always thought about learning it, along with Russian. Anyway, keep safe! Lets pray for an end to the war.
If you look into it you'll find out that the two are very similar, the syntax is the same, grammar differs insignificantly. Ukrainian is very much like Russian with polonisms and germanisms.
Thank you for teaching.
Good timing for this video, hope it being uploaded means you are safe
Most of my new friends speak Russian even between themselves, but most are from N Ukraine (Kyiv and Charkiv). Just recently came a girl from Lviv who mainly speaks Ukrainian and talks FAST and with a dialect.
My best friend said she had Russian as her first language and learnt Ukrainian at school and she now speaks “correct” Ukrainian, just like Swedes speak “correct” English as we learnt in “by the book”.
Пані Інна, дякую вам за це чудове відео. Дійсно, зараз багатьом іноземцям, які не знайомі з історичними особливостями нашої нації - їм доволі важко пояснити чому ми так ревно відбиваємось від оцього обмазування російським культурним простором. Вони просто не знають, що це наше головне хобі, вік якого пішов вже на 5 сторіччя.
Це як наша українська прошивка в ДНК, яку росія повсякчас хоче знищити.
Ми ж не здаємося. І не здамося. Ніколи.
Сили нам💪🏼
Слава Україні!
💙💛
Згодна з Вами!
Thanks for this lesson Inna. The world needs to understand the roots of this situation better.
I hope many people will learn the Ukrainian language and fall in love with Ukrainian culture. And I hope when the war is over and peace returns to Ukraine, many people will want to visit your country. I will be one of them.
I think Irish people understand centuries of subjugation and control. That’s why Ireland is proud to support the Ukrainian people.
Слава Україні 🇺🇦
Thank you for telling us this short history of the Ukrainian peoples language and history. Even this short look into it shows its long history. Slava Ukraini!
Historia usuwania języka ukraińskiego brzmi jak rusyfikacja polskich obszarów. Tym bardziej całym sercem wspieramy Twoją walkę o własny język, o własny kraj i wolność. Wiemy, że płacicie za to ogromną cenę, dlatego pomagamy jak możemy. Dziękuję, że publikujesz takie treści i niesiesz język ukraiński w świat. Trzymaj się!
Thank you very much for this video, especially at this horrible time. You took a huge risk to come out of shelter and post this. My Mom's family is Ukrainian and came to Canada in 1912. I was told they were fleeing the russians then too. They came from a small village west of Lviv (Her family name was Маюк, spelled in Canada, Majuk or Mayuk). Sadly my Mom was brought up as "western". Her immediate family felt they had to hide their Ukrainian heritage to fit into "Canadian" life when they moved to Toronto from Winnipeg (Winnipeg is where many Ukrainians moved to and the culture is much greater there). I never learn very much from my Mom's family and only discovered more about them through researching my family tree. I started watching your channel recently and hope to learn the Ukrainian language and learn more about the history and culture. Be safe and I wish you all the best. Thank you!!! Слава Україні! 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇦
Your passion and emotion for your country really shows in this video. I hope for peace and prosperity for you and all Ukraine. God bless you.
Thank you so much, Inna. From 1991 to 1996 I organised an annual exchange between Maidstone (UK) and Sumy (Ukraine). I am heartbroken by what has happened in your country, and I hope and pray that all my former acquaintances are safe. I am grateful to you for your very clear explanation about the language situation.
Thank you sharing this video was very informative
Hey, it's the first time i watched your video. I am polish, i used to learn russian, now i'm learning ukrainian. I would never say that ukrainian is a dialect of polish, let alone a dialect of russian. It's an independent language with its own quality and beauty. Compared to russian, It's much more beautiful! Sure, there are similarities like with all the slavic languages, but there are also big differences. Ukraine is an independent country with its own unique culture. That's my opinion and - as far as i know - the opinion of polish people in general.
Please elaborate on ukrainian literature, i'm highly curious :)
Stay safe and please continue teaching ukrainian and making these videos, it's very important!
Merci beaucoup Inna, you're making important videos
Those people who talk bad about the Ukrainian language are brainless and heartless, don't listen to them.
Sending love and support from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇺🇦 even though the Ukrainian language isn't much heard in this part of the world, I think it's a very beautiful language, I saw president Zelensky speaking on posted videos.
Watching your video, I can feel your heart and love for your language and it really touches me. Continue to teach and share your language, it's beautiful and don't lose it.
My wife is one of your students here in the US and I am very proud of her for discovering and frequently communicating with them. You do a wonderful job doing what you do!! Keep up the good work and we will continue praying for you all and doing whatever we can to help. May the Lord God have mercy on you all and especially the safe keeping of your husband.
Vi ste zaista Velik narod. U tako dugom kulturocidu održali ste svoj identitet. Pratim Vas iz Hrvatske.
Ma isto kao i vi od Srba. Jeste jedan narod pa zaboravili ste sve sta bilo jedno za vama
I will support the brave Ukrainian people whereever I can- here in Germany now and in future in Ukraine when we rebuild your wonderful country together. So I started to learn Ukrainian and your channel helps me a lot (it‘ll be useful even though I‘m aware that many Ukrainians speak English very well). All the best for you. Слава Україні !
Thank you for this very informative video. I pray for your safety and victory for Ukraine 🇺🇦.
我們同是受壓迫的民族😢

Wow thank you so much for explaining this ,sad that it was how it happened but it was my question too for years working with russian and Ukrainian people . Thanks for your help to educate people
I appreciate your channel a lot, I'm coming to Ukraine to help fight. (I'm not Ukrainian. I was just moved by the words and actions of you president.)
Knowing the basics of speaking Ukrainian can save me from friendly fire. And other issues. I thank you, maybe one day I will shake your hand and thank you in person.
Слава Україні!!! Дуже дякую for this video Inna, i goes to show that many people do not liekt o read - especially history and linguistics. Its a shame because it would allow for a better understanding of all cultures, and perhaps a better attitude of people all around. My parents (both are of "small countries and cultures" that have survived oppression, destruction of culture and occupation and genocide) and I have met and befriended many Ukrainians working in the hospital labaratory and they have explained the things you have in this video. I wish for people to learn things about other places and cultures instead of asking awkward questions - then it would lead to better conversations and compassion between peoples, all the best! Героям слава!
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the holodomor effected Most southern regions of the ussr not just “soviet Ukraine”
Thank you for educating us on so many Ukrainian topics. I'm very appreciative of this!!!!!
Thank you for posting this! I learned Ukrainian in the Peace Corps and then they sent me to Kyrvyi Rih. I still insisted on speaking Ukrainian which some people supported and some people didn't. My only exception were the grandmothers in our apartment building. They had no choice in the language they learned and I didn't expect them to adapt to Ukrainian as such an age so I always greeted them in Russian.
Thank you for this video. Warm greetings from Poland !!!!
Such an epic video! My friends from Kyiv taught me about katsaps lol!
Сонечко, дуже дякую вам ❤️😘 Ви робити важливий внесок для розповсюдження правдивої інформації🙏🙏🙏😍🇺🇦
I love you´re video! finally something I can show "non ukraine" speaking ppl to help them to understand the current situation ! One thing I would love to add. I joined school in year 2000 and this was the year where Ukraine language became the national language again as far I know? I had to learn ukraine langauge in south ukraine as soon I joined the school in year 2000^^
Hey Inna. I started learning Russian 3 years ago. Now I need to keep maintaining it so I can help the refugees coming across the border, but I fully plan on switching to Ukrainian when I have time to breathe. I'm so proud of your defiance over the past few days, you're an inspiring woman!
same here, that is also my plan
Ukrainian is a wonderful language along with Belarusian.
I have been always interested learning Ukrainian. Once I am done with my A levels, apprenticeship and saving money I want to travel around Europe and maybe do work&travel in Ukraine.
After watching your interview I am thinking of you every day. I want you to know you have people in this world who care about you and the Ukrainian people. Praying you and your loved ones are safe and that this is over soon.
Ordinary people should be free to speak the language they want, despite historical prohibitions and pressures. And this is applied to both Russian and Ukrainian language speaking people. One thing is promoting the use of the national language (that's great), another is negatively signalling those, who by cultural or family background, prefer to use Russian or even prefer to use both Russian and Ukrainian.
I guess you didn't understand the point with this whole video.
I agree with you!
Very interesting. And well presented.
Very Nice teaching
excellent informative video
As a Ukrainian myself, I'm from Kryviy Rih, the longest industrial city i can confirm you that people here speaks and adore Ukrainian language, those who is sure that Russian come first, think better twice. We have some territories where mostly you can hear Russian, but it's not common. I'm from, Russians like to call "Russian speaker city", just because not all talk Ukrainian in routine live. And my mother tongue it's always Ukrainian, and I'm also can speak Russian, English and German. So it's just another language i can speak, not my first not my last.
Fun facts: Ukrainian language look alike more like Polish, Czech, Slovak and even Belarusian and not Russian.
Hope now U realized.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
I feel like in the russian occupied parts of Ukraine (especially in Donbas) it is going to be very hard to convince those people to use Ukrainian over russian. But maybe my opinion is wrong, but I am basing it out of the Ukrainians I know from those regions.
However, I know 2 Ukrainians from there who relocated to Kyiv after 2014, and now they don't use the russian language anymore. But I guess Ukrainians from those regions who stayed there after 2014 are going to be difficult to work with on the basis of giving up russian
I just started to learn Ukrainian cause I want to understand all the news about Ukrainia and some day when it is safe to travel there, I will definately travel there 💙💛
Ten years from now, everyone will be eager to find out more about that new country joining the EU. You know, the one with that badass president that didn't abandon his capital even in the darkest hours.
наша підтримка завжди з вами. Слава Україні 🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦
Thanks for this great article. After all, few foreigners know our history.
Thank you for what you do and the amazing content. As a Ukrainian, I do only know how to speak Russian, but ever since the start of the war I’ve been trying to learn Ukrainian, so thank you!
Just admirable how you're able to gather up the strength and pride to talk about this sweet poetic sounding language.. really.. I'm a language nerd but can't speak a Slavic language yet so dabbling slowly.. Could you perhaps answer a maybe stupid question ? : under the Austro Hungarian Empire the region of Galicia was made up of partially Poland and Ukraine, right? Did they also suppress or forbid speaking and writing in Ukrainian or did only the tzars have their terrible say in that ? Wishing you further strength saftey and light ❤️🇺🇦
Just edit : discovered your channel via Norbert's channel with his fantastic mutual intelligibility vids.
Thank you for the history lesson of Ukraine. I did not know all of that, but I also never asked about it due to knowing your stance as a Ukrainian. So thnak you.
Every day you upload, I am happy for a second, knowing that you are alive. Thank you for that. Слава Україні 💙 💛 ❤️
Another great and important video. Thank you 🇨🇦❤️s🇺🇦
Thank you so much for explaining. Im working with ukrainian refugees so im trying to get as much info as i can and this video helped me alot to understand everyone better)
Thank you Goddess!! I don't actually hear English normally because my hearing is bad. How can I Do what I want?
Bravo!!!
Great video Inna ! Great to see your still uploading ! Keep going stay strong and stay safe ! Sending love and support to you and all the people of Ukraine. Shame on Russia ! Glory to Ukraine !
Shame on Washington DC and the CIA!
Thank you for your elegant explanation of the history of Ukrainian and Russian languages.
Thank you your service. God keep you and all Ukrainian people.
You should allow the cc (closed captions) in your previous videos for the deaf and hard of hearing community.
Thank you for giving us some history on Ukrainian language , you are so beautiful inside and out … I pray for the Ukrainian people to be delivered from this current Russian aggression.
Are the languages different enough that you'd recommend using both if you were making flyers for the Ukrainian community in your area? Or would the difference be too small to spend the extra money?
yes I would personally use both Ukrainian and russian languages for flyers in your community. Unfortunately, a lot of Ukrainians and foreigners learning Ukrainian will disagree. HOWEVER.
based of off my personal experience meeting my Ukrainian community in my region and the Ukrainians in my family and friend group, many Ukrainians still use russian in their daily lives. Ukrainian refugees, especially come from the southern and eastern parts of the country and they still use russian. Ukrainian and russian are different langauges, so I would say include them both in the flyers and any future documents
Hey, just find this channel. For a very long time I wanted to learn Russian after improving my skills in the Polish language. But now I think I am gonna learn the Ukrainian language instead. And if it is really a little more similar to Polish than it would be even easier for me so I am subscribing.
Polish has many similar words from Russian and Ukrainian. but I think the Polish language is much more similar to the Belarusian language, also Belarusians can understand Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish at the same time (due to similarities). I am Russian and I understand all 3 languages well

Great work! It is a very important information for foreigners! Thank you very much! Слава Україні!!!!
Thank you for the clarification. These are questions people wonder about, but don't know if people will think they are rude for asking. People in countries are nice though because they know I don't understand some things. Even when someone teaches me a phrase that means something bad , when they told me it means something else 😂

FANTASTIC video! You are so well composed, intelligent and beautiful. I am trying to learn your language as a way to show my support for Ukraine against Putins current attempt of genocide against you.
Privit Inna! Thank you for this important review about ukranian language and ukrainan history.
We hope that you and your family are safe. Please take care of you . You must know that the majority of the states are acting to stop the war ,standing with Ukrania. In addition ,free minded citizens of the whole world are supporting Ukraina, doing their best to stop the war,speaking of Ukrania every day and all the time .Some examples :tv shows to inform and collect funds, national orchestras of each european country playing ukranian anthem in the same time ,and now bethore every concerts for many of them, Eiffel tower illuminated in yellow and blue, Ukranian anthem played every day in Lyon town hall square, played also before every football matches in Marseille, and so many other actions of ordinary citizens...
Dont give up,keep strong!
Slava Ukrania,!🇺🇦
04:42 hmm but in Polish its called "małoruski" a nie "małorosyjski", where "ruski" it just ruthenian so Ukrainian & Belarusian were just little ruthenian languages for me when I learned about it (as a Pole of course). When I hear about "małoruski/ staroruski" I think about Ukrainian/ Belarusian or even Ruthenian and never of the Russian language which is "Rosyjski" a nie "Ruski" Of course for 98/99% of Poles Ruski to Rosyjski:/
I learned a lot from this lesson. Very professionally done!
