The Ukrainian LanguageUkrainian (ukrayins'ka mova) is a language of the East Slavic subgroup of the Slavic languages. It is the official state language of Ukraine. Written Ukrainian uses a Cyrillic alphabet. The language shares some vocabulary with the languages of the neighboring Slavic nations, most notably with Polish, Slovak in the West and Belarusan, Russian in the North and the East. The Ukrainian language traces its origins to the Old Slavic language of early medieval state of Kievan Rus'. In its earlier stages it was called Ruthenian. "Ukrainian is a lineal descendant of the colloquial language used in Kievan Rus" (10th–13th century). The language has persisted despite several periods of bans and/or discouragement throughout centuries as it has always maintained a sufficient base among the people of Ukraine, its folklore songs, itinerant musicians, and prominent authors.

What customers say about the Pimsleur Ukrainian audios:
After trying many tape language series in several different languages over the years with minimal success I landed upon the Pimsleur Method. Absorbing the high cost of the comprehensive Ukrainian I eagerly began my lessons. It absolutely exceeded my expectations. I did supplement it with a dictionary and grammar book but those pale in comparison to the value I recieved from the tapes. The product must be diligently used in compliance to the prescribed regimen on a daily basis, if done, you will learn. My Ukrainian contacts were very pleasantly suprised by my grasp of the language and I am frequently complimented on my pronunciation. I wish that Pimsleur had a follow up course to this first level. You end up with only basic skills after the 30 days but fully confident that you can learn more.
Since my success with Ukranian I have also tried my hand at Pimsleur's Hindi; again with great results. Unfortunately Hindi is only available in a 10 lesson series which leaves you wishing for more. If your language needs are covered by Pimsleur 30 lesson programs they are worth the money -- C. Debois, Lawrenceville, GA, USA
If Pimsleur can teach me a language, they can teach anyone. And, they are teaching me.
Four years of high school and college Spanish and I can barely say hola! But, after listening to the Pimsleur Ukrainian tapes while driving to and from work for the past year, I'm actually starting to get it!
I even got compliments on my pronouciation when I was in Ukraine earlier this year.
I'm a long way away from striking up a casual conversation, but at least I know I can make it through necessary transactions (ordering food, buying souvenirs, finding a bathroom, getting some basic directions, etc.) That's important because, unlike much of Western Europe, English speakers are still in the minority in Ukraine.
Pimsleur teaches you phrases you may actually need. The "cut and paste" style of learning which allows students to string together words and phrases into increasingly longer and more complex thoughts is very well thought out.
Unlike many foreign language tapes that seem to have little or no thought behind them, the Pimsleur tapes are carefully crafted with clear goals in mind. They're expensive, but they work. -- Mark Gordon, Springfield, Illinois, USA
