Hiii!

So I have a little question for all of you out there!

I've been trying to learn the language Ukrainian for my friend because I love trying out and learning languages my friends speak.

Basically, their mother tongue.

I would love to one day at least know the language so well to hold basic conversations with them.

My problem is if I don't talk with anyone in the language I am learning, I forget a lot or don't use it at all except once every week while I'm learning it.

And I know probably you are asking right now: "Why don't you speak with your friend then?"

I do sometimes ask them questions about something, but I want it to be a surprise effect, you know?

To suddenly one day in school be like: "Hey..., could you give me the book" in Ukrainian without them knowing how I even learned that.

I have searched for platforms to learn it and currently am learning it over a YouTube channel, but it's not the same as learning some things from a person who actually accurately knows the language who can teach me stuff that a platform or a YouTube video can't.

So I was hopinggg and asking if one of you out there speaks Ukrainian and is willing to help me learn it 🙏

And I really want to learn Ukrainian, not Russian.

They can also speak Russian, but I want to learn Ukrainian because they told me that Russian and Ukrainian are NOT the same and even though a lot can speak and/or understand it’s still not the same.

I don't know if it's important because of the dialect or something, but they come from the northeast part of Ukraine.

I hopee I can find someone!

Have a nice day🫶
