Дякую Інна!! Дуже добре. I am trying my best to master these sounds and I find your videos very helpful. Still have issues with И, Й,Ш,Щ але I will get there. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦.
Hello my Canuck buddie. I am fairly good with Russian and now have to quickly acquire some basic Ukrainian to be able to work with the war refugees. You might also prove to be an asset by being able to speak this cool language which Inna tells is easier then Russian Dont fret over pronounciation but as Inna says Russian is harder than Ukrainian
Maybe helpful .. although I am also a novice Ш and Щ I think that Ш is the same as the first syllable of the name Charlotte: 'char' saying the r softly. And Щ is as though you insert a 'y' (from yes) sound into the name to make Chyarlotte. 'chyar' saying the r softly
I don't know if you did this intentionally, but each new word you bring in uses letters that have mostly already been explained. This makes it really fun to try and work out how to pronounce the word before you say it. I get a little jolt of happiness when i get it right!
In Ukrainian letter щ indeed officially represents a combination of sounds шч and both sounds are always hard (unlike in Russian where the same letter щ represents the unique soft sound щ). So when you see щ in Ukrainian just read it as шч and always hard. The softening of this combination of sounds is typical for Russian speaking people who try to speak Ukrainian. So e.g. площа sounds like плошча and never as площя.
That's really different to the Polish language, and sounds really uniquely Ukrainian to my ears. By contrast, the sound would be represented by ,,szcz" in Polish and one has to make a "sh" sound immediately followed by a "ch" sound, and it was one of the harder consonant clusters to learn how to pronounce for me. Like in ,,szczęśliwy", I don't think I need to tell you what this word means!
The Belarusian language doesn't even have the letter щ in its alphabet for the same reason. And the words are spelled as "плошча" (płošča) or "шчасьлівы" (ščaślivy).
My breakthrough with pronouncing "Щ" was to say "Khrushchev" over and over (Хрущев) until pronouncing the letter became second nature. It also helped me to think of the letter as "с" followed by "Ш" and pronounce it as if those two letters were glued together. I know doing it this way probably sets off several linguistic alarms, but it worked really well for me, and now I can spit out "Щ" like I'm a native speaker.
I was wracking my brain to come up with a better example and what I came up with was "Fish Shop" vs "Bishop" if these were Ukrainian words (and fish shop was one word) I'd spell "Bishop" as «Вiшoп» But "Fishshop" as «Фiщoп» I think your example is better though. I remember Nikita Khrushchev so it's probably a more accurate pronunciation and seeing his name in the Cirillic script has helped a great deal.
i will move to ukraine one day when this war is over. i will help you clean up and rebuild and i hope i can stay and live there with you all. i am learning your language now so i can make friends now
This is my second video and my favorite part about this is to figure out how to pronounce the Ukrainian word without any help. There are letters that I haven't seen yet but I got "Фарба" right. You're a great teacher!
lol I laughed when you went the same way that my mind did when you described how to pronounce the p in pyka. I'm from Texas and it's almost impossible to never pick up any Spanish at all if you live there. That particular pronunciation is something that's always stuck with me.
Thank you so much, Inna! I just signed up a few weeks ago as a volunteer to help Ukrainian middle school students learn math here in the U.S. I have been working with Duolingo on learning the alphabet but I am so happy to find your site. You are such a good teacher and it is so helpful to watch your mouth as you pronounce the letters so clearly.
Very well done, Sister! Your English language skills are very, very good. You have helped me very much in brushing up on my Ukrainian Language abilities. Thank You!
thanks 🙏 for your lesson in Ukrainian language, I really appreciate your effort, I got know about it recently although I speak Russian language fluent but I wanted to move into Ukrainian language now.
Great intro to Ukrainian usage of the Cyrillic alphabet. Similar to Russian, except I was very surprised to learn of a reversal of the mapping between letters and sounds for certain pairs of vowels, such as "е" and "э". In a similar twist, it appears that in Ukrainian, the letter "и" makes the preceding consonant hard, while in Russian that character makes the preceding consonant soft. Understanding these differences in how to pronounce the Cyrillic alphabet are essential for someone who has studied Russian to understand how to pronounce the name of the capital, Київ.
In think in Russian having "и" prounounced like "ы" exist too but as the letters "ж, ц, ш" for example "жизни" the first "и" sounds more likely the Ukrainian "и"'
I have learned the Ukrainian alphabet thanks to you. I really appreciate it. Very clear and to the point. I needed to watch them a few times to absorb the material as the alphabet is different from the Latin one. Thanks Inna. Great job. Please stay safe!
Inna, I have watched several of your videos and I must say you are the best. I decided to try to learn Ukranian because of a woman I am dating. I know you dislike people like me, but I plan to keep trying to learn your language. My interest in Ukraine started in 2013, when I was working at a jobsite in Connecticut and would eat many meals at a Ukrainian resteraunt. I got to know many Ukranians personally. I met my girlfriend in an online game, and we quickly became friends. Thank you for posting these videos. My progress is painfully slow, but I try every day. I am still working on the alphabet and vowels, and I watch these videos every day. Best of luck to you, it seems you have been through a lot, and I pray for you and Ukrain every day.
I like hearing Spanish. IDC why it sounds so good and lovely to me. And it seems to me we have almost similar sounds. I mean there isn't strange or impossible sounds/syllables in Spanish for me as Ukrainian (or any other slavik-speaking people).
My second aha moment with similar words in German and Ukrainian was also фарба and "Farbe," as someone else mentioned. :-o THEN I saw "цукерка," which is so much like "Zucker" in German (and 'sucre' in French). :-o Before it was Люди, which looks like "Leute" for "people". I love the little bridges between languages. Thanks for your content! I found your channel via your Ecolinguist videos. I know a few Ukrainian people and used to teach English to Ukrainians, and I wish I had found this channel before It gives good insights on where people are "coming from" if they speak Ukrainian.

I think it’s like the sound you make with a word that ends in -tion, like “colonization.” It’s like the normal sh but your lips are less tight or something.
@@georgesracingcar7701 There is letter Ш in this word again. Щ is a combination of Ш in colonization and Ч in word cheese. It's exactly the combination, they have to be pronounced together, not like something between Ш and Ч, but like both of them together in this order shch (шч). Fre(sh ch)eese . This is exactly the Щ, you pronounce it clear and hard and it will be just perfect👌.
I am of Ukrainian descent (Lviv) -- my grandparents came here to the US in 1910. My parents had me take Ukrainian lessons for a short time when I was a child. Now that I've done the DNA test with 23andMe, I'm excited to get to know my Ukrainian relatives. Your way of teaching is very helpful as I get back to learning the beautiful (and comforting) language of my grandparents. BTW, we had borscht, potato pancakes, blini, stuffed cabbage, and kielbasa every week, but my favorite was pierogies and my mother made them only for the holidays!! : (
I'm so excited to learn Ukrainian! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone 💙💛 I'm definitely going to order the book you recommended! I hope all is well. Ukraine is in my thoughts every momemt ✌
@@markarnold570 Hello. if something is not clear, ask Ukrainians, they will help also about the letter "щ" it sounds like two "ш and ч" in order, and it is pronounced quickly, so one letter is obtained.
thank you a lot!, i was looking for learning a new language and this video helped me to decide. My main language is spanish, so aswering your question the most difficult letters for me are ш and щ sound way similiar
Thank you very much, дякую! I find ‘И’ the most difficult letter to pronounce. It sounds like English ‘ih’ but slightly different and uncomfortable. Hopefully practice will help though!
Thank you very much For Irish people those two letters that you confuse that sounds very similar is like the difference between shall and the Irish word for yes sea.
Hi. I just thought I’d Google the Ukrainian alphabet to see if I could learn anything. You help a little bit but the two W’s - W and W_ i found to be more difficult for me. Thanks Joseph
I joined here new and like it. But when I watch and hear you in my kitchen, a sound like 'tick-tock' disturb me and I checked my combi, refrigerator and eggs on the oven so I understood that this noise comes from my mobile phone, your video. Please stop it. I listen to you carefully, even my eyes and ears on you completely. And thank you for these useful videos. Greetings from Turkey
I've been trying to learn Ukrainian for a bit over a week now using Duolingo. It's tough going. Of the letters, I really struggle to hear a difference between ш and щ, but I'm sure it will come with practice. Someone mentioned to me a couple of days ago that in Cyrillic there are effectively 2 alphabets. There's the printed letterforms, which are the ones you showed, and different ones used for hand writing. Is this correct? Hand writing I find д hard to reproduce and my б looks more like a Greek lower case sigma. Definitely need practice. ETA Day 51 and still struggling.
Even in the midst of the mayhem in Ukraine, it is always good to see your smile. Do not lose hope, everything will work out. There are many who are praying for God's intervention.
Push Chair (buggy) is often compressed into "Pushchair" as a noun in speech. A better example for "shch" I think. I hope that you are keeping safe Inna.

Ш and Щ
I think that Ш is the same as the first syllable of the name Charlotte:
'char' saying the r softly.
And Щ is as though you insert a 'y' (from yes) sound into the name to make Chyarlotte.
'chyar' saying the r softly
O Canada
'Й' can be easy, (IDC) try to reverse word 'boy'.
'Щ' really sounds almost as two sillables 'СЧ' or 'ШЧ' / 'sch'.
I don't know if you did this intentionally, but each new word you bring in uses letters that have mostly already been explained. This makes it really fun to try and work out how to pronounce the word before you say it. I get a little jolt of happiness when i get it right!
Same!
I really like how you broke the two parts up - I find the first part a lot easier to memorise than the second part, so this was really helpful
Practice makes progress. same there. It’s always hard at the beginning.
Фарба (paint) sounds very similar to the German word for color: Farbe
That's what I thought!
Ukrainian has many other loan words from German: дах (Dach), крейда (Kreude?, chalk), фарба.
And Polish Farby (y=i)
Die fahne hoch, die reihen fest geschloßen!

Щ has as softer sound than ШЧ.It's like "shch" in English, not szcz in Polish.

Oh my goodness. Great explanation between "SH" & "SHCH" Fresh cheese is a life saver. I will not forget that hint
I'm learning Polish and am finding that that's been quite helpful at figuring out the pronunciation of some of the these letters.
yes, polish will be helpful. For example ukrainian "и" is just polish "y", like russian "ы". And for example "я" means the same as polish "ja".
