Thread: Hello from Israel!

Да ето от моей работы. I work at an IT department for a small company. Took me around 3-4 years to perfect English, without any courses or whatever. Just talking to online English friends, watching subtitled movies, etc. It's a very easy language to learn compared to Russian, or Hebrew which is even easier in my opinion.

Couldn't agree more. Вы молодец.

Украинский? Ни одного слова. In Ukraine there are a lot of Russians, and most speak Russian. I visit the country every summer, and travel for 2-3 weeks before flying back. In all my travels, I have not met a single person that spoke Ukrainian to me besides elderly folks.

Oh, oops. Yes I do have Ukranians classmates that left Ukraine at an early age and don't speak a word as well, so I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions....but I do love the song "Ти ж мене підманула"...

Вот здесь. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of useful degrees to study in Russian, besides stuff like History/Politics of Israel but regardless, there is a lot of support for those having trouble with Hebrew. И если вы знаете иврит, этот документ имеет больше информации.

Hah, figures, otherwise there wouldn't be that many Russians in my engineering class I should think. Plus, I have bad experiences from the Open University, they're very expensive and I don't like their style.

(yes am fluent in Heb and Eng double-native )

I'm glad I got you started writing in cyrillic a bit

Valda, i only say these to add it to your informations, (©) Almost 90% of Kievans speak Russian, switching to literary Ukrianian from time to time when it's needed and NO surzhik.

Generally, They speak Ukrainian as their primary language in west Ukraine and Russian as their second language. In the south and east Ukraine they speak Russian as their primary language and Ukrainian as their second language. But the national language is Ukrainian.

Я думала что есть два официальные языки? Но да, я в курсе что в Украине вроде того как бывает.
