Hi Ukrainian learners! 😃


The Ukrainian alphabet is the set of letters used to write Ukrainian, the official language of Ukraine. It is one of the national variations of the Cyrillic script. The modern Ukrainian alphabet consists of 33 letters.


In today's lesson, you will learn how to write the different letters of the Ukrainian alphabet, how to pronounce these letters whether it is through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), or through a video with the pronunciation of the letters by a native speaker.


You will also find at the end of this lesson a virtual keyboard to be able to type each special character of this language.

Welcome to our lesson on Ukrainian Pronunciation → Alphabet and Pronunciation! In this lesson, we will guide you through the basics of the Ukrainian alphabet and pronunciation, helping you to build a strong foundation for your Ukrainian language learning journey. 📚🇺🇦

Once you've mastered the alphabet and pronunciation, you may want to explore other aspects of the Ukrainian language. We recommend checking out our lessons on Ukrainian Grammar - Verbs: Future Tense, Ukrainian Vocabulary - Time and Scheduling Lesson, and Ukrainian Vocabulary for Relationships Lesson to further enhance your language skills.

Enjoy your learning experience and embrace the beauty of the Ukrainian language! 😊
