After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Ukrainian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to learn Ukrainian?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Ukrainian will necessitate at least 600 hours of study. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Ukrainian or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Ukrainian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Ukrainian classes online.
