Much Love & Respect to you from a Ukranian living in Ireland💛💙 P.S-Question:Do you plan to create/add Irish/Gaelic section to your platform in future? Gratitude for Everything Steve!💛💙
We need a minimum of content, mini-stories etc. I believe we have some volunteers working on Irish Gaelic content. I will find out and get back to you.
Wow, what a great idea I never thought of getting a tutor to take me round and speak with them. As soon as the war is over I will definitely do that, thanks great advice!
I am a Ukrainian from Sevastopol, Crimea. Much respect to you Steve for supporting Ukraine in so many ways. And for learning Ukrainian language and history too!
Are you still there or In contact with people who are living in Ukraine still? I want to go train as a medic or if not that then explosive ordnance disposal and help the Ukrainian civilians who are suffering the most from this craziness but I don’t know exactly where to contact to get myself over there lol… I’ve tried the Ukrainian embassy in Canada and a bunch of other organizations but never even got a message or a call back even one time and I’m almost ready to just book my own flight and figure it out on the ground ffs
"The DNA is not the issue: the issue is what you want to be." This sums up the entire war. Bravo, Mr. Kaufmann! I'm learning Ukrainian because I want to visit it when the war is over.
@@goalchamp1439"safe" my man, it appears to be safe for us, hell I even feel safe in Kharkiv, in reality it's not safe at all. I know it feels like risk is minimal, but it is thousands of times riskier than waiting until war ends (not soon, not soon...)
Thank you for your great support of Ukraine. I also knew nothing about Ukraine until last year, I started learning Ukrainian in summer of last year. It’s a difficult language, but I made some good progress already. I am from Germany, but also very world open, and also spent four years of my life in the USA. Thank you for this video. I am big supporter of Ukraine.
I'm learning Ukrainian myself (Brazilian here). My wife has Ukrainian roots (by her deceased father, son of migrants), but ZERO contact with culture or anything other than the Nesteruk last name. I started to be curious about UA before 2014's events, but now in 2022 it really hooked me due to the insane war. Really different from my Portuguese or other Latin languages I slightly know... but it's lovely to feel my knowledge growing. Long road to go through... but I'm enjoying the travel. до побачення!

Останнім часом я досить часто натрапляю на такі відео від іноземців про Україну, українську мову та культуру, і кожного разу мені навертаються сльози. Це так зворушливо, що нас нарешті бачать і чують у світі і так сумно від всього того болю, який ми пережили і того лиха, яке росія століттями приносить на нашу землю. Однак, Шустер Live не найкраще джерело інформації. Їх вже здається навіть заблокували. Рекомендую Вам канал Василя Климчука для об‘єктивного відстеження новин, адже Климчук сповідує стандарти журналістики. Також люблю Телебачення Торонто, які теж є справжніми професіоналами у сфері журналістики. А щодо російськомовного населення, поцікавтесь, а як так сталося, що Харків, де в свій час була чи не найбільша кількість україномовного населення, зараз здебільшого російськомовний (поки що, адже українці зараз добровільно масово переходять на українську). Для цього раджу Вам канал ім. Тараса Шевченка з братами Капрановими і Історію для дорослих. Дякую за підтримку України! Ми це дуже цінуємо!❤
@@boratsabgdiev , @Mila Moroz , Виявилось, у мене було не правильне розуміння поняття "ультраправий". Я його асоціювала з яскравим націоналізмом, коли ж насправді це поняття більш близьке до нацизму і тому краще характеризує katsapiv. Вибачте за помилку, вже виправила.
If you know Czech, Polish - a group of Slavic languages, it's easy to learn Ukrainian. I understand about 80%, I can also read Ukrainian. I write only with the help of the Google translate program. Glory to Ukraine!!! Lithuania. Kaunas 1000k❤️❤️❤️
Дякую! Було надзвичайно цікаво слухати про Ваш досвід. Мені дуже відгукується думка про те, що знання мови розширює розуміння світу. Приємно знати, що у Вас залишилися приємні спогади і думки про Україну 😊
i am Ukrainian and i want to thank you for paying so many attention in our culture and also for sharing your experience with so many people which is help us to say the world that we are not the same with russians. thank you one more again and may the God bless you
Hello from Ukraine! It's nice to know that we are interested in the whole world. My English is enough to understand this video, but not enough to express my thoughts. So just say thank you!
Дякую, що доєдналися до вивчення української мови та долучилися до української культури і, зовсім неочікувано для вас, намагалися збагнути українську історію,, розвиток, становлення держави і її зв'язки із суміжними культурами Польщі, Литви , спорідненість мов.
Я пишаюся такими людьми як ви. Моя мрія знати багато мов. Наразі вивчаю англійську і зрозуміла все про, що ви говорили у відео. Слава Україні! Дякую вам за підтримку!
I am thinking of the brave Ukrainians all the time. You have my full respect. You have a wonderful country with wonderful people. It is an unspeakable tragedy what is being inflicted on your country. The world supports you and will continue to support you until your country is rebuilt.
@@Thelinguist Thank you, Steve. We do really feel this support from each person of this planet, and it really means a lot to us. It motivates to stay strong. There will be a day when we will share and celebrate this victory with all the good people of this planet.
@@kiddhkane Hello, I’m assuming you somehow fell asleep 90 years ago and just woke up, Lviv since 1946 was part of the Ukrainian SSR, now independent Ukraine.
@@artemsscorevideos2313 It was built by Polish people in Polish land. And one day it will be Polish again. And if you believe anything else, you have a severe case of PolePhobia. Not very tolerant of you.
I love your love of culture and language. This is why I enjoy various languages. BTW..I'm Ukrainian/Irish born in the United States 😆...I'm relearning my Ukrainian right now as I had a head injury in the military and I lost what I learned as a child. I am so blessed to be able to relearn.. and expand my language base so that I can converse with my cousins in Ukraine. Ty for being so positive and a light in this world. G-d bless.
I am Ukrainian and I was born and I live in Lviv. I am very proud of my country . It's awesome how much you know about our history . Thanks for your videos and your attitude to languages. Щиро Вам дякую та до зустрічі у славетному Львові!
I am Ukrainian by origin, live 24 years in USA. I am a musician by profession. I like the idea of fusion in culture. Wish you the best with your journey in Ukrainian Culture.it is splendid , unique, full of heroism, its history is great and sad. I apload you how far you already moved in understanding true interpretation of current invents , in spite of Russian lie. ❤
I'm Ukrainian and didn't leave my country during the war. I'm staying in Kiev. Thank you for this video and for your path to learning our language. I really proud of you ❤ Thank you one more time, be happy!
Greetings from Ukraine! I’m so happy that this video came to me. I appreciate your interest, but more that you talk about this to foreigners! Thank you so much for your support, it’s amazing! After winning this war we will wait for all foreign friends that supported Ukraine at this really hard times, we are really grateful for the support and will never forget this! Thank you!
I am Ukrainian from Donbass and I am thankful you very much for this interesting story and popularization of Ukrainian language. As a resident of Donbass, I want to say the following. My ancestors came to Donbass in 18th century. My farther, when he was a child, spoke Ukrainian because his mother spoke Ukrainian but he stopped to speak Ukrainian when he went to school. So, my brother and me were born in Russian speaking family, went to Russian speaking school and we communicated in Russian only. It was typical example of, so called, Russification of Ukrainians in 20th century. I began to speak Ukrainian only 20 years ago but until now I think in Russian. However, my children speak Ukrainian and it is their native language. We decided to return to our roots.
Steve, your perspective was fascinating and the entire video enlightening. I've been studying Ukranian history and find it extremely interesting and eye opening considering the "One people" rhetoric coming from Russia. I look forward towards learning Ukranian and an eventual trip there.🇺🇦🇺🇲
Learning Ukrainian history is very important. Thanks for the rationality in this matter. For many centuries, Russia tried to deceive the whole world with its propaganda in history. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇲🇺🇦
As a Ukrainian I find it unbelievable pleasant to hear! I hope you'll find a nice moment to visit us. Also I hope it won't be a nuclear wasteland here at the time
But we ARE one people with Russians, as well as with Belorussians - we have the same language, the same traditions, the same religion, the same history, the same culture. Exeption is the West Ukraine - they are Ukrainian-speaking and Catholics. They deffer from the rest Ukrainians.
😳 Вау, неймовірно. Трішки засмучує, що навіть зараз після 7 місяців повномасштабного вторгнення є персони які тримаються за російську, при цьому є такі круті іноземці. Це круто, українська доволі складна з відмінками, закінчення, граматикою, фонетико особливо для англомовних людей.
Стів Кауфман - не просто англомовна людина, а відомий поліглот, який знає понад 20 мов. І так, наша мова, хай не найскладніша у світі, але дуже складна. Я це дуже добре відчув, коли у зрілому віці почав вивчати польську мову - найближчу до нас після білоруської. В нашій граматиці чорт ногу вломить.
Потому что русский язык не имеет прямого отношения к российскому вторжению. С таким же успехом ты бы могла высказать сожаление в том, что после 7 месяцев войны украинцы до сих под ходят на ногах, как это делают россияне.
@@SuperSlant Нагадайте мені, що рускі робили першим ділом після захоплення територій? Підказка: міняли знаки на російську і палили українські книги, але так "рускій язік не імеєт отношенія к войнє"
@@rostyk3502 И? Это их сам русский язык подталкивал к этому или что-то другое? Русский язык в этом нисколько не определяющий фактор и даже не инструмент. Конечно он бывает инструментом, но крайне редко. Но тут же возникает вопрос - станешь ли ты сетовать на нож, которым тебя пытались убить?
@@SuperSlant Я не розумію в чому проблема. Ви живете в Україні, ви спілкуєтесь українською. Не вмієте, то вивчіть в комфортному для себе ритмі. Але ні, вам простіше захищати мову вбивць вашого народу
It's incredible. I am very, very impressed. Thank you for this video, your position and support for Ukraine ❤ You have an incredibly clear mind. You have my deepest respect. In fact, I could not hold back my tears when I watched this video. Thanks to TH-cam for accidentally suggesting this video to me 😊
It's so cool that u made such video and I'm really shocked that u know so much about Ukraine. Idk why, but it made me very happy that people take knowledge about us not only from the news, but also study and take interest on their own. We look forward to ur visit to Ukraine. СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ
Great video. I am Ukrainian, living in Florida. I am glad you were able to learn Ukrainian. Now you can watch Zelenakiy's daily interviews without translation. Дуже інформативне відео 🇺🇦🇺🇸.
Thank you for this video Steve! As a polish person I always admired your interest in foreign cultures. Now I admire you even more. Wish you all the best!
Thank you for this positive video! On a side note, I once attended Czech language courses with English speakers and saw how hard it was for them to master a Slavic language so your skills are impressive.
Hi Steve, this video was a lovely change of pace. I very much enjoyed how you interspersed your Ukranian language journey with the story of your visits to the country and the assistance you have provided there. Although I have no plans at present to learn Ukrainian, I applaud your gesture to help those fleeing war and persecution by offering language learning resources free of charge at LingQ. It seems the current war with Russia has touched many of us in ways we have not previously known were possible, and the world is surely a better place when it is filled with kind, meaningful gestures such as yours here.
Thank you so much, you are speaking with so much passion about my country. Your deep knowledge about language, history and last years events is outstanding. It makes me feel really happy. Glory to Ukraine! Слава Україні!
Thank you Steve. It's just incredible that you learn my language. I am so proud to be Ukrainian and I am very proud that you pick Ukrainian to learn. Best regards!!
Thank you for this video and all the support! And to add to your point about having russian surname, but identifying as Ukrainian - a lot of people were forced to change the endings of their surnames to make them sound more russian (from ukrainian -enko to russian -ov). There are centuries of russian efforts to erase our identity, culture and language. But nothing can break us! Слава Україні!
Thank you for taking an interest in our language. Quite grateful for people like you. I'm currently finding myself in a position of being a Ukrainian refugee, and I also have a hard time learning German on my end. My literature teacher always used to say that our language is a code of nation, and it is indeed a powerful tool in day-to-day life, so we should pass it on to the next generations. I hope to build a family one day where my kids will already be raised with so many other languages and cultural diversity. Much love ❤
Thank you for your interest in my country! Not many people go that far to learn about our history. Thank you for supporting our people. Every drop of help is extremely valuable now. Have you enjoyed our cuisine as well? Actually Lviv is famous for variety of cafes and restaurants so I hope your guide didn't slack out with it🙂
У ці тяжкі для українців часи ви надзвичайно надихаєте всіх нас! Я мрію про те, щоб українська мова стала рідною для більшості українців, бо в нас так несправедливо й жорстоко колись її забрали. Дякую вам! 🙌
Дякуємо Вам! Се завжди приємно - чути рідну мову 🥰 Се, мабуть, найкращий спосіб висловити повагу до людини😊 Саме тому я люблю вивчати іноземні мови, щоб спілкуватися з іноземцями їхньою мовою Thank you very much! It's always nice to hear your native language 🥰 It's probably the best way to show respect for a person 😊 That's why I like to learn foreign languages to communicate with foreigners in their language
What a great story! As someone who was born in Lviv and emigrated to the United States many years ago, I am relate to the challenges and excitement of learning Ukrainian language, history, and culture.
Thank you from a Ukrainian! You are 100% right, languages and identities are not about DNA! It's a question of cultural acquisition and choice. Дякую Вам!
I'm ukrainian and i'm so happy to listen to this video. And also i'm impressed - i read You speak twenty! languages. I learn just 2 - english and german. And of course i subscribe your channel. We'll be glad to see You in Ukraine. Thank You for support.

Це так зворушливо, що нас нарешті бачать і чують у світі і так сумно від всього того болю, який ми пережили і того лиха, яке росія століттями приносить на нашу землю. Однак, Шустер Live не найкраще джерело інформації. Їх вже здається навіть заблокували. Рекомендую Вам канал Василя Климчука для об‘єктивного відстеження новин, адже Климчук сповідує стандарти журналістики. Також люблю Телебачення Торонто, які теж є справжніми професіоналами у сфері журналістики.
А щодо російськомовного населення, поцікавтесь, а як так сталося, що Харків, де в свій час була чи не найбільша кількість україномовного населення, зараз здебільшого російськомовний (поки що, адже українці зараз добровільно масово переходять на українську). Для цього раджу Вам канал ім. Тараса Шевченка з братами Капрановими і Історію для дорослих.
Дякую за підтримку України! Ми це дуже цінуємо!❤
Телебаченя Торонто зовсім не ультраправі, ви що))
Гарно написали😍🇺🇦
Дуже влучно! 💙💛
Торонто ультраправі??! Я мабудь чогось не знаю
@@boratsabgdiev , @Mila Moroz , Виявилось, у мене було не правильне розуміння поняття "ультраправий". Я його асоціювала з яскравим націоналізмом, коли ж насправді це поняття більш близьке до нацизму і тому краще характеризує katsapiv. Вибачте за помилку, вже виправила.
If you know Czech, Polish - a group of Slavic languages, it's easy to learn Ukrainian. I understand about 80%, I can also read Ukrainian. I write only with the help of the Google translate program. Glory to Ukraine!!! Lithuania. Kaunas 1000k❤️❤️❤️
Czech language has a lot of common with Ukrainian) And I like how they do like “smaller names” - very cute 😍
Slava Russia ❤❤

Дякую! Було надзвичайно цікаво слухати про Ваш досвід. Мені дуже відгукується думка про те, що знання мови розширює розуміння світу. Приємно знати, що у Вас залишилися приємні спогади і думки про Україну 😊
Дякую Вам за те , що знайомите людей з Україною
i am Ukrainian and i want to thank you for paying so many attention in our culture and also for sharing your experience with so many people which is help us to say the world that we are not the same with russians. thank you one more again and may the God bless you
I am Ukrainian, thank you very much for learning and popularizing Ukrainian language
Hello from Ukraine! It's nice to know that we are interested in the whole world. My English is enough to understand this video, but not enough to express my thoughts. So just say thank you!
I send good luck to you
Дякую, що доєдналися до вивчення української мови та долучилися до української культури і, зовсім неочікувано для вас, намагалися збагнути українську історію,, розвиток, становлення держави і її зв'язки із суміжними культурами Польщі, Литви , спорідненість мов.
Steve, як чудово, що ви надихаєте інших вчити українську мову.
Я була би рада колись поспілкуватися з вами! 🇺🇦
Wow, as a Ukrainian living in Canada I take my hat off sir! Very well done, you are a great storyteller. And thanks TH-cam for recommendations :)
Я пишаюся такими людьми як ви. Моя мрія знати багато мов. Наразі вивчаю англійську і зрозуміла все про, що ви говорили у відео. Слава Україні! Дякую вам за підтримку!
Велика подяка, що ви підтримуєте цю чарівну мову!
Thank you. I am a Ukrainian from Kharkiv.
Wow. You are such a good person. Greetings from Lviv, Ukraine.
I am thinking of the brave Ukrainians all the time. You have my full respect. You have a wonderful country with wonderful people. It is an unspeakable tragedy what is being inflicted on your country. The world supports you and will continue to support you until your country is rebuilt.
@@Thelinguist Thank you, Steve. We do really feel this support from each person of this planet, and it really means a lot to us. It motivates to stay strong. There will be a day when we will share and celebrate this victory with all the good people of this planet.
Lwów, Poland*
@@kiddhkane Hello, I’m assuming you somehow fell asleep 90 years ago and just woke up, Lviv since 1946 was part of the Ukrainian SSR, now independent Ukraine.
@@artemsscorevideos2313 It was built by Polish people in Polish land. And one day it will be Polish again. And if you believe anything else, you have a severe case of PolePhobia.
Not very tolerant of you.
Thank you for your support and standing with Ukraine 💛💙
Дякуємо за вашу підтримку ! хай Вам щастить !
Привіт із Києва! Дякую за це відео! Захоплююсь Вашою здатністю вивчати мови. Ваш приклад надихає вчитися і розвиватися! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I love your love of culture and language.
This is why I enjoy various languages.
BTW..I'm Ukrainian/Irish born in the United States 😆...I'm relearning my Ukrainian right now as I had a head injury in the military and I lost what I learned as a child. I am so blessed to be able to relearn.. and expand my language base so that I can converse with my cousins in Ukraine. Ty for being so positive and a light in this world. G-d bless.
Nice to know that ukrainians learn ukrainian even living in America.
This is a fascinating origin. Happy you are learning Ukrainian!
Even your second name is Ukrainian
Hi from Dnipro:) We are very pleased that you're interested in our language and culture
I am Ukrainian and I was born and I live in Lviv. I am very proud of my country . It's awesome how much you know about our history . Thanks for your videos and your attitude to languages. Щиро Вам дякую та до зустрічі у славетному Львові!
Люблю Львов! Очень красивый город, я тоже из Украины но я из Северодонецка
I am Ukrainian by origin, live 24 years in USA. I am a musician by profession. I like the idea of fusion in culture. Wish you the best with your journey in Ukrainian Culture.it is splendid , unique, full of heroism, its history is great and sad. I apload you how far you already moved in understanding true interpretation of current invents , in spite of Russian lie. ❤
You are so kind person! You have great respect for all the languages you learn! I wish you happiness, greetings from Ukraine!
I'm Ukrainian and didn't leave my country during the war. I'm staying in Kiev. Thank you for this video and for your path to learning our language. I really proud of you ❤ Thank you one more time, be happy!
Greetings from Ukraine! I’m so happy that this video came to me. I appreciate your interest, but more that you talk about this to foreigners! Thank you so much for your support, it’s amazing! After winning this war we will wait for all foreign friends that supported Ukraine at this really hard times, we are really grateful for the support and will never forget this! Thank you!
Вельми Вам дякую, пане, за поширення правди! Дякую за підтримку!
I am Ukrainian from Donbass and I am thankful you very much for this interesting story and popularization of Ukrainian language. As a resident of Donbass, I want to say the following. My ancestors came to Donbass in 18th century. My farther, when he was a child, spoke Ukrainian because his mother spoke Ukrainian but he stopped to speak Ukrainian when he went to school. So, my brother and me were born in Russian speaking family, went to Russian speaking school and we communicated in Russian only. It was typical example of, so called, Russification of Ukrainians in 20th century. I began to speak Ukrainian only 20 years ago but until now I think in Russian. However, my children speak Ukrainian and it is their native language. We decided to return to our roots.
Прочитала вашу історію🔥 клас, ви такі молодці, що зуміли повернутися до рідної мови та ще й передати її дітям👏
Дякую, земляче! В мене дуже схожа історія
Это супер👍
Дякую за творчість!
Удачі, бережіть себе.
Нам дуже приємно, що вчите нашу мову та культуру❤ Завжди чекаємо вас в нашій країні🇺🇦
This is so incredible that you followed part of our history while learning Ukrainian. Thank you for interest!
Steve, your perspective was fascinating and the entire video enlightening. I've been studying Ukranian history and find it extremely interesting and eye opening considering the "One people" rhetoric coming from Russia. I look forward towards learning Ukranian and an eventual trip there.🇺🇦🇺🇲
Learning Ukrainian history is very important. Thanks for the rationality in this matter. For many centuries, Russia tried to deceive the whole world with its propaganda in history. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇲🇺🇦
As a Ukrainian I find it unbelievable pleasant to hear! I hope you'll find a nice moment to visit us. Also I hope it won't be a nuclear wasteland here at the time
Thank you for taking time to learn Ukraine history and become more informed.
But we ARE one people with Russians, as well as with Belorussians - we have the same language, the same traditions, the same religion, the same history, the same culture. Exeption is the West Ukraine - they are Ukrainian-speaking and Catholics. They deffer from the rest Ukrainians.
@@НаталияЛеонова-ш4ж nice story Ivan🤡
так хотілось послухати ваш український говір... але дякую і за це, за ваш досвід
😳
Вау, неймовірно. Трішки засмучує, що навіть зараз після 7 місяців повномасштабного вторгнення є персони які тримаються за російську, при цьому є такі круті іноземці. Це круто, українська доволі складна з відмінками, закінчення, граматикою, фонетико особливо для англомовних людей.
Стів Кауфман - не просто англомовна людина, а відомий поліглот, який знає понад 20 мов. І так, наша мова, хай не найскладніша у світі, але дуже складна. Я це дуже добре відчув, коли у зрілому віці почав вивчати польську мову - найближчу до нас після білоруської. В нашій граматиці чорт ногу вломить.
Потому что русский язык не имеет прямого отношения к российскому вторжению. С таким же успехом ты бы могла высказать сожаление в том, что после 7 месяцев войны украинцы до сих под ходят на ногах, как это делают россияне.
@@SuperSlant Нагадайте мені, що рускі робили першим ділом після захоплення територій? Підказка: міняли знаки на російську і палили українські книги, але так "рускій язік не імеєт отношенія к войнє"
@@rostyk3502
И? Это их сам русский язык подталкивал к этому или что-то другое? Русский язык в этом нисколько не определяющий фактор и даже не инструмент. Конечно он бывает инструментом, но крайне редко. Но тут же возникает вопрос - станешь ли ты сетовать на нож, которым тебя пытались убить?
@@SuperSlant Я не розумію в чому проблема. Ви живете в Україні, ви спілкуєтесь українською. Не вмієте, то вивчіть в комфортному для себе ритмі. Але ні, вам простіше захищати мову вбивць вашого народу
Amazing! Steve you are strong motivator! I'm learning English from Ukraine through your story about your learning Ukrainian!!!
Дякую Стів за ваше відношення до України! Більшість російськомовних українців перейшли на українську після початку вторгнення раші в 2022 році.
It's incredible. I am very, very impressed. Thank you for this video, your position and support for Ukraine ❤ You have an incredibly clear mind. You have my deepest respect.
In fact, I could not hold back my tears when I watched this video.
Thanks to TH-cam for accidentally suggesting this video to me 😊
Thank you for sharing, Steve, and for offering Ukrainian for free on LingQ 💙💛 Your experience with Slavic languages is fascinating!!
You have made me so happy now! It’s total happiness to know that there are foreigners who learn Ukrainian✨
Ох, це так мило! Я дуже вдячна Вам за поширення української культури. Успіхів Вам у подальшому розвитку. With love from Ukraine.🇺🇦💖💖💖
This is so heartwarming. Thank you, for your inthusiam & solidarity with our people. Glory to Ukraine!
Thanks for this video! Your support and passion mean a lot!
Great respect to Steve!!! It's emazing that you have learnt Ukrainian and so many facts from Ukrainian history!
Щиро дякую,Стівене, за це цікаве і корисне відео, в якому Ви розповіли про свій досвід!
I lost my jaw… you are a genius! this is so fascinating you managed to learn ukrainian language, and put so much energy into it, respect to you sir
Щиро дякую Вам за цю розповідь , та все що ви зробили для українців!
It's so cool that u made such video and I'm really shocked that u know so much about Ukraine. Idk why, but it made me very happy that people take knowledge about us not only from the news, but also study and take interest on their own. We look forward to ur visit to Ukraine. СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ
Great video. I am Ukrainian, living in Florida. I am glad you were able to learn Ukrainian. Now you can watch Zelenakiy's daily interviews without translation.
Дуже інформативне відео 🇺🇦🇺🇸.
Zelenakiy's? wtf??
Пане, ви нереально крутий. Щира подяка з Києва.
So thankful to such people!!! Дякуємо за підтримку!
Dear Steve, thank you for promoting the Ukrainian culture and demonstrating your outstanding skills.
Thank you for this video Steve! As a polish person I always admired your interest in foreign cultures. Now I admire you even more. Wish you all the best!
Дякую за вашу українську позицію і підтримку!! ❤
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to Heroes!
Glory to Heroes!!!
Glory to Heroes!
@@Ilya-di4ok glory to dumb a"s ses, you mean.
Why not make peace instead of war?
Glory to heroes! 🇺🇦
Thank you for this positive video! On a side note, I once attended Czech language courses with English speakers and saw how hard it was for them to master a Slavic language so your skills are impressive.
Hi Steve, this video was a lovely change of pace. I very much enjoyed how you interspersed your Ukranian language journey with the story of your visits to the country and the assistance you have provided there.
Although I have no plans at present to learn Ukrainian, I applaud your gesture to help those fleeing war and persecution by offering language learning resources free of charge at LingQ.
It seems the current war with Russia has touched many of us in ways we have not previously known were possible, and the world is surely a better place when it is filled with kind, meaningful gestures such as yours here.
I’m so proud of you, Steve❤ You did great 👍
Thank you so much, you are speaking with so much passion about my country. Your deep knowledge about language, history and last years events is outstanding. It makes me feel really happy. Glory to Ukraine! Слава Україні!
Thank you Steve. It's just incredible that you learn my language. I am so proud to be Ukrainian and I am very proud that you pick Ukrainian to learn. Best regards!!
Thank you for this video and all the support! And to add to your point about having russian surname, but identifying as Ukrainian - a lot of people were forced to change the endings of their surnames to make them sound more russian (from ukrainian -enko to russian -ov). There are centuries of russian efforts to erase our identity, culture and language. But nothing can break us! Слава Україні!
Wow! You are incredible! And your story of how you came to study Ukrainian is very fascinating.
Thank you for your support of Ukraine
As Ukrainian, I`m shocked how much you know about us. Great work!
Дуже дякую вам за те, що знайомите людей із нашою історією та мовою!
Jest Pan mądrym, wrażliwym człowiekiem z otwartą głową. Jest Pan obywatelem świata.
Aprender ukraniano para entender mejor su situación actual. ¡Lástima que es un camino largo! Gracias Steve
Gracias por tu apoyo ❤
Thank you for such a thoughtful video and support❤️❤️❤️
Thank you a lot for sharing this information with English speakers. And for your interest to my country.
Thank you for taking an interest in our language. Quite grateful for people like you. I'm currently finding myself in a position of being a Ukrainian refugee, and I also have a hard time learning German on my end. My literature teacher always used to say that our language is a code of nation, and it is indeed a powerful tool in day-to-day life, so we should pass it on to the next generations. I hope to build a family one day where my kids will already be raised with so many other languages and cultural diversity. Much love ❤
Make sure to use LingQ which is free of charge for all Ukrainians. Just email support@lingq.com. We have about 50 languages these, including German.
Thank you for your interest in my country! Not many people go that far to learn about our history. Thank you for supporting our people. Every drop of help is extremely valuable now.
Have you enjoyed our cuisine as well? Actually Lviv is famous for variety of cafes and restaurants so I hope your guide didn't slack out with it🙂
Thank you for sharing your experience and speaking up about Ukraine!
Дякуємо, дуже приємно знати, що люди зацікавлені у вивченні нашої мови
У ці тяжкі для українців часи ви надзвичайно надихаєте всіх нас! Я мрію про те, щоб українська мова стала рідною для більшості українців, бо в нас так несправедливо й жорстоко колись її забрали. Дякую вам! 🙌
Дякуємо Вам! Се завжди приємно - чути рідну мову 🥰 Се, мабуть, найкращий спосіб висловити повагу до людини😊 Саме тому я люблю вивчати іноземні мови, щоб спілкуватися з іноземцями їхньою мовою
Thank you very much! It's always nice to hear your native language 🥰 It's probably the best way to show respect for a person 😊 That's why I like to learn foreign languages to communicate with foreigners in their language
What a great story! As someone who was born in Lviv and emigrated to the United States many years ago, I am relate to the challenges and excitement of learning Ukrainian language, history, and culture.
Great video! I'm really appreciate your dedication and way of learning language in the prism of history. Thank you! Slava Ukraine
Sir, I admire your persistence and your awareness of Ukraine events and history. Bravo!
Thank you from a Ukrainian! You are 100% right, languages and identities are not about DNA! It's a question of cultural acquisition and choice. Дякую Вам!
🫶🏻 Ви дуже талановита та розумна людина! Дякую, що є такі люди ❤
I'm ukrainian and i'm so happy to listen to this video. And also i'm impressed - i read You speak twenty! languages. I learn just 2 - english and german. And of course i subscribe your channel. We'll be glad to see You in Ukraine. Thank You for support.
After English and German you will learn other languages. There are just polyglots here on this channel.
