The Ukrainian Lessons Podcast is a favorite for language learners who are interested in studying Ukrainian. With a diverse range of languages under their belt, the reviewer finds this podcast to be their favorite. They initially struggled with slow progress and lack of explanation on the Duolingo app, but were delighted when they found this podcast.
As a Ukrainian themselves, the reviewer was motivated to learn the language not only to understand their culture better but also due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. They express their concern for the host's well-being and offer support during these troubling times. They also inquire about dialect differences between the Chornobyl area and Kyiv, as they want to be as authentic as possible.
The reviewer praises Anna, the host of the podcast, for her enthusiasm and effective teaching style. They appreciate that she provides explanations and breaks down complex concepts while still maintaining a fun and engaging atmosphere. They mention that listening to this podcast has made them question whether they may have been too critical in the past.
The reviewer mentions that as a premium member, they find additional benefits from referring to lesson PDFs available exclusively to premium members. However, they note that it is not necessary to be a premium member to benefit from the podcast. They also mention that they use the podcast not just for active learning but also for passive training of their ears in understanding the language.
Overall, the reviewer highly recommends The Ukrainian Lessons Podcast as an excellent resource for learning Ukrainian. They appreciate its well-structured lessons, cultural insights, and enjoyable content. They express gratitude towards Anna for creating such a valuable resource and convey their love for both the podcast and learning Ukrainian.
