Learning Journal 6

[Taylor Johnson]

My goals this week were to learn the nominative declensions, the nominative singular, commonly used adjectives and numbers 1-20. I worked with my textbook to get the basics of the grammar, I made flash cards for the adjectives and the numbers, and I practiced with my language partner. I found that many of the adjectives were similar to their Russian counterparts, but they just have slightly different pronunciations and declensions. The numbers were also very similar to Russian, but the pronunciation different. In my practice with Bohdan (my language partner), I was able to better hear the differences between Russian and Ukrainian pronunciations because he speaks both languages fluently.
