Practicality says to learn Russian, but learning a language is not always about practicality (or else I’d learn Spanish in the US). I can’t ignore the current situation in Ukraine, thus in solidarity with the underdog I am undertaking the task of learning Ukrainian. “If you talk to a man in a language he understand, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart.”

I live in Kharkiv And most people of Kharkiv speaking Russian And I know Russian, But I always reply them in Ukrainian language and they become so much happy and in the same time they feel shy. because they are Ukrainian and they speak Russian while iam foreigner and speaking in their native language, I suggest all people to speak and learn Ukrainian language, its really very beautiful language. Thank you Inna, How I can donate to you by PrivatBank please?

For me as a speaker of the Croatian language, both languages are interesting and both have similarities with Croatian. Sometimes it seems to me that Ukrainian is more like Croatian and sometimes Russian. I'm learning Russian now, but I like to watch videos in Ukrainian, such as your channel! Cheers! :)

I'm around B1 in russian and A1 in bulgarian (neither is my first language). They are different enough to not get mixed up in my mind, but knowing russian beforehand helped me a lot with bulgarian vocabulary (например: бг: чета = ру: читать/читаю.) I really want to learn ukrainian to get closer to my family still in Ukraine, but I don't know if I should wait until I get confident enough in what I'm already studying. Anyways, дуже дякую за videos, I really like your explanations!

As a native English speaker I do feel like Ukrainian pronunciation is "easier" and more "relaxed" than Russian (which I learned through under & grad school) which I'm guessing means it's just closer to my native phonetics. Thanks for this video, I've subbed!

I understood more Ukranian than some native Russian speaking people in Odessa the first time i visited. Sometimes I dont perceive the difference when reading texts in both languages. Generally i understand 60-70% of written and spoken Ukranian thanks to Russian, and 40-50% Polish and some other slavonic languages... However, many words are different, whereas the grammar is very similar. Backwards, if you compare German and Swedish: similar words but different grammar... I knew Russian before coming to Odessa which helped a lot. Now I'm studying Ukranian, though, since the legislation in the Ukraine has gotten tougher and more and more people in the Ukraine don't dare to speak in Russian - i don't like linguistical isolation - I like to be part of the crowd, especially when in western Ukraine - будь ласко! :)

I'm really glad I found your channel, it's not that easy to find Ukrainian learning content as it is to the Russian language. I've been thinking about learning one of them: Ukrainian or Russian for a while and I still haven't got to a conclusion. I have no main goal as traveling, family, friends or lover, I just think they're both intriguing languages provenient from interesting cultures. I am from Brazil and curiously I guess I'd have a challenging but considerably easier time learning one of these, specially because of the R sound which I dominate. Do you still think Russian would be more useful?

@SpeakUkrainian 4 жыл бұрын

If you don't have any goal, you can try to learn some basic things in both languages, and then you can decide which one sounds better for you.

@gabriellyoliveira2742 3 жыл бұрын

I'm from Brazil too :D I started to study Ukrainian a couple years ago but I stopped and decided to learn Russian from the scratch because it was too hard to find Ukrainian learning content and thought it would be easier to learn Ukrainian from Russian (like it is for us, Portuguese speakers, to learn Spanish. I think it was a pretty wise decision, because Ukrainian is so much easier than Russian in my opinion and now that I know some in Russian, I feel more confident and motivate to come back to Ukrainian.

@@gabriellyoliveira2742 decidi fazer isso mesmo. Russo é, quer queira, quer não, mais útil no momento. Posso, em uns dois anos, aprender ucraniano com uma base e praticar ambos. Por que você acha ucraniano mais fácil do que russo? E passei pela mesma dificuldade para encontrar conteúdo lusófono. Só encontrei em espanhol e inglês.

@gabriellyoliveira2742 3 жыл бұрын

@@mduda_nog a fonética do ucraniano é muito mais constante que a do russo, na minha opinião. A gramática também eu acho um pouco mais simples, com menos exceções. Ainda não estudei o ucraniano com tanta profundidade quanto o russo, mas essas foram as diferenças mais gritantes que percebi. Fora que no ucraniano o vocabulário é mais intuitivo. Por exemplo, a palavra para "médico" em ucraniano "лікар" você consegue associar com a palavra hospital "лікарня". Agora no russo a palavra para médico é "врач" e hospital "больница". Eu lembrei desse exemplo de um vídeo, mas existem várias outras situações que o ucraniano se mostra mais intuitivo que o russo.

I have been learning Russian for the past 8 years. After talking with my teacher, it seems like I am between B1 and B2, with my goal of trying to reach B2 level by the end of the year. I spoke to a co-worker of mine (she is Ukranian) who helps me with Russian and Ukranian. Because of my job, Russian has been very helpful. She did mention I'm better off learning Russian, that I would be very limited if I focus only on Ukranian. That being said, we did agree that if I want learn Ukranian, start slowly and with only a few bits of grammar, words, and phrases. I do feel confident as far as pronunciation and comprehension to differentiate between both languages. So far, I'm still learning Ukranian by myself. I will eventually need to find a teacher like you mentioned. Thank you for the video.

@stefanreichenberger5091 4 жыл бұрын

Well, I'm not sure I'll ever get to B2 in Russian. So waiting is not really an option. I started Ukrainian when I was at about A2 in Russian and A1 in Czech. I get more mixed up with Czech than with Russian in conversation, in fact.

It can actually be better to learn both Russian and Ukrainian together, because in the real world, these two languages often exist in the same language environment. For example, I have relatives who speak both Russian and Ukrainian, and they often code-switch. It would be nice to know which they are using at any given time. They are from Odesa, btw.

I must say, it must be very difficult to start from zero to learn both at the same time. I learned Russian in university and as an exchange student 11-12 years ago. And it is true that phonetics in Russia is hard XD !! I was a low level and then I lost it over the years. A couple of months ago I started learning Ukrainian and my previous knowledge of Russian was helpful (alphabet, grammatical structure, cases, etc) but also an difficulty because I mix up words all the time, and when I’m trying to speak with a friend (she speaks Ukrainian and Russian and a bit of English, and I speak French and English, and started to learn Ukrainian). so I try to communicate with her in Ukrainian, but I end up talking in my very own surzhik-English dialect, it is disastrous 😂😂😂 So yeah, I would NOT try learning both at the same time!

As somebody who had a bit exposure to both languages at the elementary level, I prefer Ukrainian over russian. russian is easily an uglier, harsh sounding language to me, and when people yell in russian, it makes it sound even more awful. Ukrainian is softer sounding, especially since soft sign is common in the language. I also do find Ukrainian easier in pronunciation than russian.
