So my wife and I are American. In our town, we have a Ukrainian community of immigrants. She is a school teacher and there are several students that only speak Ukrainian. We have decided to learn Ukrainian. We also decided to learn it have another language to speak to my wife with without our kids being able to understand lol

[@favoritemyvideo]

Is your town located in New Jersey? There is a large Ukrainian community there.

[@Robertsson]

I bet you guys started because of the kids, don’t bs us with the “Ukrainian community” story. 😂😂😂

[@GypsieSeeker]

To become truly Ukrainian, you have to speak Ukrainian to someone who is speaking to you in Russian, and both act like it’s completely normal 😅

[@SpeakUkrainian]

Haha I can’t speak Ukrainian when somebody speaks Russian to me. I automatically switch into Russian and vice versa🙈

Hey! Are you Brazilian? How did you learn both languages? Saudações!

Ukrainian is a beautiful and nice sounding language. Many Ukrainians are living now in my country (Poland) and I've found them really warm and hardworking people. On the other hand i study Turkish and Crimean Tatar and since the beginning of my journey with Crimean Tatar language i haven't met one single Crimean :/

I am living in Kyiv and learning Ukrainian, although Russian is more heard on the streets :/ In any case, I am going to Lviv soon to speak Ukrainian around 😺🥨

Grest video and very helpful to notice the differences. I did notice differences in my various visits to Ukraine. Especially in Львiв. Common words changes I heard. = Так, ні, будь ласка. Дякую. до побачення, вліво, вправо, стіл, стілець, поїзд. 😁👍

[@SpeakUkrainian]

Brian Cobbold Будь ласка, we are glad with Nika to make useful content for you! Common words will make your communication easier

Even though Russian is more widely spoken Ukrainian in my humble opinion is more sweeter to hear and they are both difficult speak.

5:54 "Ukrainian accented English - Uklish" wow. Compared to Russian people, Ukrainian people have greater advantage to learn foreign languages that use many vowels such as Spanish and Japanese. Ukrainian language is very beautiful. A Ukrainian lady living in Tokyo has her KZbin channel "Hanna in Japan" where she speaks fluent Japanese and cooks great local food at home.

[@joannakaczmarek2725]

I am learning Ukrainian Started 2 weeks after Putin aggression. I am Polish, I had Russian in school for over 10 years and that's help me a lot. I can use both facts to speed learning process. Mainly listening at work, to Ukrainians lessons. I hope I could use this combo to help Ukrainians guests in UK, if they don't speak English. Lots of similarity in both languages, grammar, words, and I know Russian letters, so easier for me to read in Ukrainian in comparison for German, or English native speaker 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

I am learning them both and what I can say the easiest is: Pronunciation: Ukrainian Grammar: Russian Vocabulary: Russian Learning Sources: Russian The winner is Russian. If you don't plan to live in ukraine, it's better to learn russian, because it's spoken in many countries, where ukrainian only in ukraine.

[@ZA-we6ii]

Pronunciation in ukrainian is very simple, where in russian, you need to hear most words to know exactly how to pronounce them. Grammar is slightly simpler in russian especially падежи but the difference isn't big. Vocabulary in ukrainian is nowhere like other languages in the world, i was scared when i started learning "months" in ukrainian, where in russian it's similar to english. Learning sources, i can't find many sources to practice ukrainian, where russian, there are plenty.

[@ruslankovalenko1292]

@@ZA-we6ii months in ukranian are of slavic origin. Some other slavic languages use them too.

[@kullkriss]

You are delusional. Ukrainian pronunciation is more difficult. I have never heard a foreigner saying "г" and "х" correctly, that's why people couldn't understand them.

[@ZA-we6ii]

@@kullkriss a simple word like молоко is easy to read in ukrainian than russian, for russian you must hear it before otherwise it's barely impossible to guess. And guess what? o is the most dominant letter in russian, and basically most words have an o that you pronounce a, in ukrainian this problem doesn't exist. "г" is pronounced like hi if im not mistaken? why would it be difficult? and "x" is the same in both ukrainian and russian so I don't understand your argument.

[@kullkriss]

@@ZA-we6ii no. There are 3 sounds in Ukrainian:"ґ"(pronunciation like russian(г)), "г", and "х". I have never heard a foreigner pronouncing it right, and people could understand this person, because of the tangible difference between "г" and "х" sound. Which is more than I can say for Russian

Considering what happened and even Nika now no longer teaching russian, I think it's pretty obvious what the answer is haha. I also learnt russian but I don't speak it anymore (I didn't forget the language, I'm choosing not to speak it). After seeing what happened in Irpin, in Bucha, Balakliya, Izium and literally everywhere....I don't want to speak that language anymore.💙💛

[@jeffreyd508]

We speak Russian in Ukraine. We speak English in the u.s. (we have native languages, but we still speak a language of another country, England). When you go to Mexico, will you speak Spanish or Mexican? How about in Brazil? I bet you will find everyone speaking Portuguese and not Brazilian languages Most people around the world learn English rather than Sudanese. Its simple math. Its more useful.

*The Russian language is an artificial language, created after 1500. Before 1500 it did not exist. In Kyivan Rus, Kingdom of Rus, Lithuania-Rus state there was one official language - Old Ukrainian, which is East Slavic. So the russian language did not come from the East Slavic language, because it is an artificial. Only Ukrainian and Belarusian languages came from East Slavic.The modern Russia is an Ugro-finnic country. It is a true fact, based on true historical documents, and this fact is not argued.* *Difference between Ukrainian and russian languages is the same as between English and Dutch in lexicology. Among all Slavic languages Ukrainian has the smallest similarities with the russian in phonetics and grammar. According to the results of official linguistical researches.*

The language to learn to use in other countries is English, not Russian. Maybe in the future that will change to Chinese. Putin has dealt seriously wounded Russian culture by making all things Russian unacceptable in the civilized parts of the world. That's a shame.

[@GuzelKyrim-Ukraine]

Now Ukrainian definitely! Russian is not taught in Ukraine anymore! Even more! Ukrainian (Rutenian) is the direct descendant of the ancient Eastern Slavic language! In the contrary, Russian is the invented (in 1645 AD) language by the Croatian linguist Yury Karadzhich on the basis of the Solunian Dialect of old Bulgarian language (aka Old Church Slavonic).
