Reasons Why You Should Learn the Ukrainian Language
- The Ukrainian Language Is Spoken by Millions - It is the official language of the largest European country by area and ranks 26th among the most widespread languages in the world. Ukraine is a beautiful country in the very center of Europe, rich in culture and traditions that its people are eager to share. By learning Ukrainian, you'll immerse yourself in the country's ancient culture and customs - If you don't want to offend Ukrainians or undermine their country's sovereignty and independence, remember it's Ukraine, not "The Ukraine."In English, it is not in use the definite article with country names (it's Italy, not The Italy; France, not The France). Therefore, it's a significant grammatical mistake to use it for Ukraine. Also, its capital is Kyiv when transliterated from Ukrainian, not Kiev.
- Ukrainian Is One of the World's Most Beautiful Languages - Based on the results of a language competition held in Paris in 1934, Ukrainian was ranked the third most beautiful language in terms of phonetics, vocabulary, phraseology, and sentence structure, after French and Persian. It's also officially the second most melodic language in the world after Italian. Many admit that the Ukrainian language reminds them of a nightingale’s song. To experience its beauty, listen to world-famous pieces like "Summertime" by George Gershwin and "Carol of the Bells" in their original language, which is... Ukrainian!
- The Ukrainian Language Is Very Flexible - With more than five million synonyms, the Ukrainian language is versatile and diverse. It has fewer homonyms, which speaks volumes about the lexical richness of the language. Ukrainian is unique with its alphabet, having two letters you won't find in any other language.
- Learning Ukrainian Helps You Understand Other Languages - Once you learn the Ukrainian language, you can understand Polish, Czech, Belarusian, and other Slavic languages because they are quite similar. Coming from the same family of languages, they share common sounds and roots of words. For example, those who learn Ukrainian will eventually know 70% of the Polish lexicon and a third of its grammar rules. However, if you plan to understand Russian, Ukrainian won't help you much, as the Russian language differs from other Slavic languages. Though it shares most grammar rules with them, it lacks many Ukrainian, Polish, and Belarusian phonemes. Most Ukrainian people are bilingual, understanding and speaking both Russian and Ukrainian.
- Ukrainian Language Has an Ancient and Growing History - You will be learning a well-developed, rich language with an ancient history, going back to the 12th century and earlier. Studying Ukrainian as a foreign language allows you to connect with a deep cultural heritage
- Ukrainian Language Is Easy to Pronounce - Letters in Ukrainian are pronounced as they are spelled. So, if you see “професія,” you pronounce each letter “p-r-o-f-e-s-i-ya.” It's not like reading “profession” in English or French. Fantastic, isn't it?
- Ukrainian as the Language of Freedom - And lastly, but importantly, historically speaking, people who speak Ukrainian are courageous, hospitable, and caring of each other. By learning Ukrainian, you will become part of a self-respecting nation of dignity and freedom.
