Exploring the Benefits of Learning Ukrainian as Interest in the Language Skyrockets

Read the full article →

The interest in learning Ukrainian has increased enormously since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the country on February 24, 2022. People worldwide are taking classes to learn the language for many reasons. Some want to travel to Ukraine after the war's end, and others want to support Ukraine during the ongoing war.

On this episode of "Community Hour," we are joined by Iryna Konstantiuk. She has dedicated 20 years to creating a natural motivation for students to learn languages and cultures. Konstantiuk explains the benefits of learning Ukrainian as a second language and what opportunities students who learn Ukrainian have.
