Me too! Keep up your lessons! Привіт мій друзі!

Very nice. I've listened to some other videos of slavic languages in order to decide which one to learn. People usually say to learn russian, since it's more useful and bla bla bla. BUT in my case , "usefulness" is relative and not the most important thing. The sound of the language and if I like the general idiosyncrasy of the people of a certain country are my primary motivations. So, based on that, my takes will be on bulgarian and ukrainian. These two languages are the nicer sounding to my ears (along with serbian) and I like their cultures, too. Also, I think they would be easier to learn in comparison to other slavic languages. Your videos helped me a lot to decide. Thank you very much. Greetings from Uruguay!

This video shall be appreciated a lot. It actually shows what would happen if ukrainans were not exposed to russian lanugage for centuries. They wouldnt be able to understand russian. Many ukrainans today know russian cuz russian was dominant in ukraine long ago (it is still in some parts of a country) and they were able to hear it everywhere. These two lanugaes are closly related, thats true, but yet they are different and this video shows the real difference if there was no lanugage mixing in ukraine.

When I was a kid (in my town, anyway) anyone who spoke Cantonese would have told you that the two are completely different languages. Completely unintelligible. However, since Hong Kong got handed back to China, and Cantonese speakers have (with much more frequency than before) been raised in both, those people see the two languages as being really similar. In my own experience, I can understand Cantonese quite well, and can make myself understood. However, Mandarin to me is in a whole other zone.

Дело в том, что большенство украинцев то понимают русский, но это не из-за того что они похожи (если бы они действительно сильно были бы похожи, то мы бы скорее всего русский вообще бы не понимали), а из-за того что многие были обучены из детства, и 40% страны говорит на русском (хоть и не с большим украинским акцентом либо на вообще на суржике, в прочем те кто вырос на суржике в восточной Украине - скорее всего понимают русский). По этому да, есть украинцы которые не знают русский (даже мне он не был полностью понятен когда впервые заговорил), а вот в западной Украине (Карпаты, Черновцы, Волынь, Львов) ты вряд ли вообще найдешь русскоговорящих, там все на украинском либо на каких-то польско-украинских суржиках как в Карпатах.

Speak Ukrainian - for some reason your Russian is SO much easier to understand than the various courses I'm studying! Must be the way you speak. You should teach Russian to Americans - not Ukrainian! (Obviously, I understand you're all about teaching Ukrainian; ironically, it's your Russian which is SO much easier to understand than other Russian teachers, books and methods.) Spasibo Bol'shoy.

Apart from the fact that there are more Ukrainians Who speak Russian but don’t speak Ukrainian but not the opposite .Since the 1991 when Ukraine became independent ,the Ukrainians still preferred to use Russian and I rarely heard Ukrainian language ,o lt Russian or a diaiect which included Russian and Ukrainian ..I wonder Why only now you want to Tell us the opposite 😂

The Russian language originates from the Church Slavonic (Bulgarian) and it is the language of Finno-Ugric people who learned Church Slavonic as a result of christianization and the policy of the Moscovian rulers like Spanish and Portuguese in Latin America and Latin in Europe. The Ukrainian langauge is the language originating from the language people spoke in the medieval Rus. Ukrainian differs from the Church Slavonic language. And this explains why Ukrainians are not Russians, and Russians are not Slavs, but local tribes affected by the church and Slavic culture, though the name of the country of Ukrainians was Rus, and the name of Russia was Moscovia. Those who do not believe check the book "Lexis" of Laurentiy Zizaniy published in 1596. It is a Church Slavonic and Ukrainian vicabulary, and you will see that the Church Slavonic words there are the words of the Russain language and their translations are the words of the Ukrainian language. One more source is "Slavonic Grammar with Correct Syntax" by Meletiy Smotrytskyi, published in 1619. The book dealt with grammar rules of the Church Slavonic language that was actually Bulgarian. So, he called the Church Slavonic in the book as Slavonic (slovenski) and the language he actually spoke in ordinary life as Russian (ruski). There is a passage there “In Slavonic it is: удержи язык свой от зла и устнѣ своѣ еже не глаголати лести. Into Russian it is translated as: гамуй язык свой от злого и уста твои нехай не мовят зрады. Those who know both Russian and Ukrainian will understand at once what is what. It says “restrain your tongue from evil and let your mouth not speak lies”. Though the word “zrada” now in Ukrainian means “treason”.

@CrimeaIsRussia-wm7kd

Ukrainian language originates from Russian and Polish and it is the language of Turkic people who learnt Russian as a result of Christianization. Zrada is a loanword from Polish by the way, and Polish has no relation to Ancient East Slavic also known as Old Russian spoken in Ancient Rus.
