Step One: Assess Your Abilities
I have zero experience with Ukrainian. Up to this point, I have learned the alphabet, but that is all I know. I do have a background in Russian, so I think that my background with another Slavic language can help me in my Ukrainian learning process.
Step Two: State Your Learning Goals
Because I will be spending next year in Ukraine, the most important thing for me to learn how to do is communicate through spoken language. While reading and writing are also important skills, I think that because I have a limited amount of time, I will need to focus on my speaking and listening skills the most. Ukraine is a functionally bilingual country, and since I speak Russian fairly well, I will be able to supplement my writing and reading gaps with my Russian knowledge.
Step Three: Determine Tasks and Activities to Meet Your Goals
Tasks:
- Greetings
- Introductions
- Talking about myself and my family
- Date and time
- Ordering in a restaurant/ grocery shopping
- Film terms
- Swimming vocabulary
