"I love the world", how to say it in Ukrainian? Let me introduce you to the Accusative so that you will be able to make excuses and "accuse" somebody (or something) of eating another cupcake or ...coming late for work :)
"Whose car is this?", "Would you like a cup of coffee or tea?", "Do you have a dinosaur in your garage?" Let us learn the Genitive to be able to answer these questions in Ukrainian.
"Can you draw with a pencil?" "How has written this song?" "What is your profession?" "What are your hobbies?" "What could you do for hours?" All this and even more is discussed with the help of an instrument – the instrumental case. Let us make friends with it.
"The locative case denotes location", that is what you have always been told, haven't you? But what if it is not the only one to answer the question, "Where?"? It is time to unveil the truth.

Learning languages is similar to cooking (here you will find out why), so enjoy your five delicious tips on what to do if you want to become a master of cases. And let me serve you a dessert – a table of case endings for adjectives, pronouns, and numerals. Bon appetit!
I believe that learning languages is similar to cooking: you have all the ingredients (words), you use some cooking technique (grammar) – and you cook a dish (a story) to taste it and share. I invite you to my Ukrainian language kitchen, where I will teach you that the Ukrainian case system is not only for chefs – it is for you. It helps to serve delicious stories that everybody enjoys.
I will explain to you why Ukrainian nouns change so much. We will see which ending you should use in every situation. After each bite of new information, you will do an exercise to remember what you have just learned. You will also get clear visuals to memorize the endings. At the end of the course, you will be able to build your own sentences out of the Ukrainian words that you already know (or will learn in future). This course teaches you the most basic thing about Ukrainian grammar, and once you understand it, you will become more confident in speaking and writing. You will get the tool to strike out on your own.
