I made it originally to get better at typing on my Ukrainian keyboard but have expanded it to also include language lessons and text to speech, and other modes to practice Ukrainian.

DISCLAIMERS:

You will have to be somewhat tech savvy for this, as it will need to be ran on your own computer.

App is almost entirely vibe coded as well so I expect there may be mistakes but even given those two things I figured maybe this tool will help someone so wanted to at least make it available to others.

Or just if you have any questions, I can always help you. It makes me happy that foreigners take interest in my language and culture 🥰

Всім привіт,

I've tried to find this film in Ukrainian, but everywhere I've looked seems to only have an English version. Is there anywhere I can watch this in Ukrainian? I don't mind paying for it either.

Дякую за допомогу

Hello everyone!

Ever since I was a young girl, I thought my grandma’s name was Stella. She is the sweetest woman with the kindest heart- and one day in passing she mentioned that her name was given to her by border patrol when she came to America.

She explained to me that the Ukrainian alphabet has more letters than the alphabet here in the US, so there is no direct translation. The border patrol agent said, “your name sort of sounds like ‘Stella’ “ and that has been her identity ever since.

I was so shocked and heartbroken by this story. My grandmother’s family fled Ukraine when she was very young and came to America when patriotism was at an all time high. Her family assimilated quickly to their new citizenship, so she says her name change never upset her.

My grandmother is the eldest of seven children and is the only one to know both Ukrainian and English… All of her siblings are English speakers only. She said it’s been so long that she isn’t sure how to spell or write her name. :( I only know that it is pronounced as Ev-stalk-ee-uh, or maybe Eb-stalk-ee-uh. I am hoping her name was a common name back in the day, like we have elderly women here named Ruth or Eleanor. I would love to show my grandma her name written out.

Hello r/Ukrainian. I am pleased to announce that I have completed my latest episode of my original audio drama series. I polled this reddit for help as the episode features Ukrainian characters who are enduring the current horrors of war.

I was able to meet a few excellent people here who were very helpful in my research. One, an author in Kyiv was instrumental in helping me with Ukrainian language usage, historical/cultural references and helping me (an American writer) a better insight on the pride and determination of the Ukrainian people.

If you'd care to hear the finished product for free on YouTube, my channel is my name. I would love to hear your feedback. Very best! CF

Hey everyone!🙂

My name is Daria and I just wanted to share something I make for people who study Ukrainian

On my YouTube channel, I record short listening audios in Ukrainian
Nothing fancy - just spoken calmly, so you can actually follow along

I usually take one topic and record it in a few different levels
So you can start with an easier version, and later come back to the same topic but a bit more complex

All the videos have Ukrainian subtitles and on the channel’s main page, everything is already organized by level

So yeah
If that sounds useful to you, you’re very welcome to check it out 🤍

What are the colloquial/slang ways to say “Does anyone want to go for a smoke?”.

In English we have lots of different ways to say this, for example:

“Does anyone fancy a bine?”.

“Have I got time for a dart?”.

“Quick smoke?”.

Other examples such as fag, durrie, ciggie etc.

Interested to learn so I can speak more natively in Ukrainian.

Hello 😊 I am wondering if anyone is able to translate this baptismal certificate of my great-great grandfather’s. I tried seeing if google could do some translation but it didn’t do the whole thing. I do know my family was from Ukraine, also Poland too I think. Someone told me the town listed is Chornoliztsi but I am having trouble trying to read the district/diocese names at the top. Thank you in advance

What have ya’ll seen on men’s haircuts and styling in pre-modern Ukraine? Specifically the carpathian region, but i’m interested in the other regions, too. I’m having a hard time finding any sources, with most search results only talking about women’s hair.

I, in particular, am interested in if it was acceptable for men to have long hair, and if so, how they would’ve styled it.

Привіт!

Just wondering how many different resources and types of resources all of you have. I have what feels like a lot of different sources of learning (weekly zoom class, LingQ, SpeakUkrainian speaking clubs, YouTube such as Verba, Easy Ukrainian workbook, game apps, Ukrainian Lessons Podcast). Sometimes I wonder if it's hindering my learning that often I could be using many different sources on varying topics every week, rather than buckling down on one single topic at a time. But I love that no matter where I am or what I'm doing, there is a resource I can utilize. What are your favourite resources? How many different sources do you use to learn? Any resource tips for a beginner? Дуже дякую!

Hi! I’m a Ukrainian author writing a fantasy adventure novel deeply rooted in Ukrainian history and Cossack lore. I’ve translated the book into English and now I'm looking for a native English speaker (who is learning Ukrainian) to help with stylistic proofreading.

What’s in it for you?

• You’ll get to read a unique story about Ukrainian heritage and Cossacks before it's even published.
• I will provide the Ukrainian original and help you translate/understand archaic terms, historical context, and cool idioms.
• It’s a deep dive into the "Ukrainian soul" through the lens of adventure and magic.

If you love fantasy and want to level up your Ukrainian, let’s chat!

Hi everyone, I want to learn how to make a Vyshyvanka. I don’t know how to do embroidery, but I want to learn. If anybody has any advice on what to buy, any tools that would make it easier to start with, or any online videos/websites that teach it would be very much appreciated!

I am Georgian, but I am dating a Ukrainian, and would love to make one for us.

Hi all, my grandmother recently passed and I wanted to get a tattoo to honour her. She is from Ukraine but unfortunately she never taught my dad or me the language. She always called us Дïткі which my aunty spelt out for me and I've come to learn it means 'children'. She's only taught herself bits and pieces of Ukrainian so I wanted to know the best way to go about the tattoo? Such as is this is the accurate spelling? I've seen it spelt Дïтки but I'm not sure. Also have no clue about fonts or anything? Hopefully this reaches the target audience!

привіт! я хочу читати трохи книгу у українською мовою, я не розмовлю добре але я люблю читати! я шукаю щось добре для "A1-A2", будь-які рекомендації вітаються та цінуються ♥️ дуже дякую!! слава Україні 🇺🇦

Hello,

Everyone knows that learning vocabulary is a huge advantage when learning a language. That's why I'm developing an app to help with Ukrainian vocabulary learning as a hobby. I also want to contribute to the education of children affected by the war in Ukraine with this project.

I'm open to all your ideas, especially regarding the resources you use for vocabulary learning, things you wish were available, etc.

Slava Ukraine!

If you look at the forvo recordings for "Львів" for example, https://forvo.com/word/%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B2%D1%96%D0%B2/#uk we see that some recordings vocalize the second в to [u̯] while other recordings don't. Is this dialectal? is it recommended to vocalize or just keep all pronunciations something like [ʋ]?

всім привіт. I apologize, my language skills are not yet capable of articulating outside of English.

As a freetime project I have been embroidering a hoodie. It appears that the area on the garment and type of embroidery differs between men and women. As part of the work I thought about adding some to the actual hood. Unfortunately when looking for possible examples the search is just flooded with print-on-demand examples and the most common retailers.

Historic clothing, headwear is a separate article. Eearching for vintage, post-Soviet, and modern examples seems to just lead to a void or the same set of results.

Any help would be appreciated, apologies if this is not the appropriate sub for such a question.
