I’m doing the same thing along with you with Ukrainian, using Lingq and teach yourself. I don’t love teach yourself format (prefer assimil and colloquial), but it’s great they’re offering it free. I’m up to chapter 2 as well. Having studied Russian extensively for years, and dabbled on and off in Polish, I’m finding in the early stages a lot of mixing and changing my pronunciation to be an early challenge, but overall a lot easier to pick up vocabulary

What is Lingq?

@@analeeloo206 A website made by Steve Kaufman for language learning based on reading texts with recorded audio, Ukrainian is one of the supported languages.

OH Richard you decided to do it! LOL.

[@JR-lh9ec]

Do you do the Fill in the Blank exercises in the Ukrainian Teach Yourself book or do you skip them?

Never let a good crisis go to waste, eh? Call me cynical (though 'tis not I who is the cynical one) but I never used to get Ukranian language videos in my subscription feed before the war, despite not adding any new channels recently.
