Adult Ukrainian Language Classes

Option 1: This September, our Society will once again offer a Beginners Adult Ukrainian Class via Zoom. This class will be for those with very limited or no understanding of the Ukrainian language. The class will be an hour and a half once per week. The evening of the week (day and time) is to be determined based on instructor and student schedules.

Option 2: This class will now be at an Advanced Beginner level. A great level for those who have some understanding of Ukrainian but are feeling rusty with their speaking skills. This class meets on Thursday evenings via Zoom from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. This class will resume at the end of September.

There is a fee for both classes. If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity to learn conversational Ukrainian, email us at info@ivanfranko.ca Please indicate the option you are interested in.
