About The Ukrainan LanguageUkrainian is the official language of the Ukraine and has enjoyed a surge in popularity since the dissolution of the former Soviet Union. A Slavic language, it is related to Russian, Bulgarian, Polish, and Slovak, among others; Ukrainian is related closely enough to Russian that speakers of the two languages can at least some of the time understand one another. People with familiarity of both Russian and Ukrainian sometimes describe Ukrainian as "a funny pronunciation of Russian". Like Russian, Ukrainian uses the Cyrillic alphabet in its writing system. Although there are some regional dialectical differences in the Ukrainian language, the Pimsleur Ukrainian tapes present a standard, commonly-recognized Ukrainian based on what is considered "educated" speech in and around Kiev. Why The Pimsleur System WorksThe late Dr. Paul Pimsleur was much more than a language teacher. He did research on how both children and multi-lingual adults learn languages and discovered key principles that unlocked the mystery of how we learn languages. The Pimsleur programs provide a method of self-practice with an expert teacher and native speakers in lessons specially designed to work with the way the mind naturally acquires language information. The various components of language -- vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar -- are all learned together without rote memorization and drills. Using a unique method of memory recall developed by renowned linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, the programs teach listeners to combine words and phrases to express themselves the way native speakers do. By listening and responding to thirty minute recorded lessons, students easily and effectively achieve spoken proficiency. » The Pimsleur Method « |
