PROGRESS  (JUNE 2022)
Я вивчаю українську мову на телефоні, але краще б вчитися з друзями. Я прогресую повільно. Я хочу поговорити з людьми, які приїжджають до нашого міста з війни в Україні

{I am studying Ukrainian on the phone, but it would be better to study with friends. I'm progressing slowly. I want to talk to people who come to our city from the war in Ukraine}

PROGRESS  (JUNE 2022)
I've abandoned learning with Duolingo but have been introduced to 500 words.

I can greet, describe for and count to a billion.  learning some grammar on the way.

Duolingo has changed and it is much more difficult to use without a subscription.

I'm switching to the online course above
