Learn Ukrainian with songs. Part 1.
What you'll learn
- The main purpose of the course is to show you a useful method of learning a language (particularly Ukrainian) with the help of songs.
- After completing the course you will be able to understand and use basic vocabulary and phrases (100+ words).
- You will learn more about the Ukrainian culture, singers.
Requirements
- You will need any applications which can open .pdf, .mp3 format files. You might also need a printer to print downloadable material with new words and phrases.
- You need to have basic Ukrainain: be able to read and understand simple words.
Description
You will start speaking the language after you sing songs, watch videos and read lots of books in the language you study!
I offer you to watch the Ukrainian songs with English subtitles, learn new words and phrases from those songs and with some repetition and slow speed mode of the videos you will automatically (subconsciously) remember what you have heard.
This method - listening to songs - is proved to be useful. With the help of melody and visual part (text, subtitles) 2-5 times to listen to a song can be enough to memorise some daily phrases in a rhyme.
Probably you also have such experience that when you were a child you could easily remember a song after having heard it just once or twice.
So if you are already familiar with the Ukrainian language, this course will help you enrich your vocabulary with hundreds of useful words.
Who this course is for:
- All people with simple prior Ukrainian language knowledge.
- Beginner level also will profit from the course as a supplementary study resource.
