This course is a follow-up to Ukrainian 1.

In the course Ukrainian 2, you will further develop your knowledge of Ukrainian language and culture. The various texts and sources used in the course are specifically aimed at introducing students to Ukrainian culture and society. Listening exercises make use of media clips about current affairs. In the classes, we especially pay attention to continuing the acquisition of basic grammar and we offer opportunities for improving one’s reading and speaking skills. In preparation for class, you work on reading, writing and translation assignments. Your basic active vocabulary will include 900 words. Language proficiency classes are relatively intensive and require considerable preparation time and independent study. The course emphasizes reading skills, followed by listening and speaking skills oriented at acquiring the A2 level.
