I have started this course with zero knowledge about Ukrainian or any Slavic language. At the end of it, I am able to read, understand and have a basic knowledge of Ukrainian grammar. I feel that if I were to go to Ukraine right now, I would have no problem getting around and having basic conversations with native speakers. The course is intense, packed with information, very well presented through video, text and audio recordings of vocabulary and dialogues. The support group was very helpful, as participants could interact and help each other; also teachers kept track of progress, verified homework or answered individual questions. Inna and her teachers are such a joy to work with, highly qualified, friendly and accommodating. Also a very well organized team. I am very happy for making this choice and I intend to continue my study of Ukrainian language through individual lessons. I highly recommend this course.

I really enjoyed the ‘Absolute Beginner to Confident Speaker’ course. With no prior knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet, I am now able to sound out letters and read Ukrainian words. I can put together simple sentences and have learnt the basics about the 7 different cases. Inna is a very engaging, patient teacher, whose passion for her culture and language shines through in her enthusiastic teaching style. I highly recommend anyone thinking about learning Ukrainian language to give it a go and sign up to the beginner course. I look forward to learning more with Inna in the future.

Karen Liddy

I really enjoyed the course! It is very well organized, and exactly what I needed to learn the basics of Ukrainian language. Inna is a great teacher and explains everything very clearly, even more difficult subjects like Ukrainian cases. It is a very intensive course, so I definitely will need to go over the learning materials again to learn all the vocabulary and practice the cases. I also purchased Inna's book “Master Ukrainian Cases” so I'm looking forward to doing the exercises. Overall, I am very glad I signed up for this course, and I hope that Inna continues with an intermediate level program. Дуже дякую Інно for all your hard work in creating this program, it is very much appreciated. 💙💛

I really enjoyed learning Ukrainian in this online course. I was an absolute beginner of Ukrainian and the course materials were perfect for me. Not only the materials were well made, but also from a non-native English speaker’s view, it helped me a lot that Inna’s English as a teaching language was very clear and easy to understand. I will keep learning Ukrainian, thank you!

I’ve searched many places for a Ukrainian language online course and this was by far the most comprehensive, well structured, in depth course I’ve found! This course does a great job on laying out the foundations of Ukrainian grammar with a variety of materials, exercises, homework, and quizzes to help learn! Highly recommend.

Matthew Ketterer

I am absolutely satisfied, even thrilled, with the Speak Ukrainian course from Inna. There are so few Ukrainian speakers and teachers here in Wisconsin that this course was perfect for me to get started in this beautiful language. Of course, the military aggression against your country was one of the main reasons I decided to learn to speak with you. Now I hope to be able to help, in some way, at some time, as Ukraine starts to rebuild!

I speak, read, and write a number of languages, which I used daily in my work. I have studied languages in school, at university, and on my own. The structure and content of this course are amazingly effective in helping the learner achieve basic oral, written, and reading skills. The content is not just tourist vocabulary. The vital areas of phonetics and grammar are well covered with conversational basics and very practical vocabulary. You have to do the work! But the content format and delivery are so well-paced. Follow her instructions and you will be amazed at your results. Inna is a very special teacher. What she has created here is a love letter to the Ukrainian language, and a gift to anyone interested in properly learning to communicate in Ukrainian. I do hope she will create a course for the next level of Ukrainian language learners. The price of this course and any of the additional learning materials (textbook - SO valuable!; flashcards, online speaking lessons with qualified teachers) are such a steal! I cannot wait to see her dream of a Ukrainian language and cultural center come to life!

I would highly recommend taking the course “From Absolute beginner to confident speaker”, if you have any interest in expanding your knowledge of Ukrainian Language beyond Duolingo, LingQ or other similar sources. There are three tiers to choose from, increasing in price. The first is the most basic and is just the course, and no extras. The second tier, which I did, you have a group chat with other students and a teacher, I had Iryna. There, we had discussions about the topics learned, quizzes and practice paragraphs with our instructor. Iryna was excellent at answering questions and supporting us. I personally think the time comitment is minimum of 6 hours per week, though honestly for me I did about 8 hours/week doing the basic course. If I had more time, I would have spent more time reviewing what I had learned, and participating more in the chat and bonus exercises. The first week is review the alphabet, which I was familiar with, but it was still beneficial making sure my pronunciations were correct. It then went through the 7 cases, which was 🤌👌, and through other important topics like reflexive verbs, past and futures tenses as well as daily vocabulary, ordinal and cardinal numbers.

Caitlin MacLeod

Inna's course is a fantastic introduction to Ukrainian. I signed up to the course because I was really enjoying Duolingo, but many things on there are confusing at first because the app does not give any explanations or deeper reasons behind rules and grammar. That is what I needed to progress so I started watching some of Inna's YouTube videos. Inna has a knack for presenting overwhelming topics clearly and with simple explanations. The lessons are very manageable in length and I like Inna's presenting style, it's friendly yet focused! Finally, I live in a small town and unfortunately there aren't any options for Ukrainian language classes nearby, so this was a brilliant alternative. Thanks to the whole team at SpeakUA, I'm looking forward to the next level of the course when it's released!
