Do you know the second most melodious language of the world? Most of
you can fluently speak French and a couple of other European
languages. So, whenever the question arises about the melodious
language, we eagerly switch to the renowned language of Baudelaire,
Verlaine and Rimbaud. But do you know the second most tuneful language
which is frequently compared to the song of a nightingale and the
rustle of wind in the grove? Do you know what language is spoken in
the geographical center of Europe (and where is it situated)? Can you
guess what the meaning of words "palianitsia" and "bereza" is? Have
you ever tasted "deruny" or "chanaha"? Finally, would you like to read
the enchanting verses by great Romantic poet in original?
I won't torture your curiosity by asking more questions. Those who are
interested will find out the answers in the course of Ukrainian
language. For the song of a nightingale and the wind in the leaves
associated with Ukrainian language, geographical center of Europe is
located in Cherkassy, 200 km far from Ukrainian capital Kyiv...
Remaining answers are reserved for those who will now write down their
surnames on the sheet of paper and start learning this fascinating
East-Slavonic language. My personal experience in learning and
teaching shows that such decision has never been a disappointment,
during my whole 10-year long lecturing experience. This language is
difficult for foreigners due to complex grammar, but upon mastering it
you will be able to enjoy using words that contain music in
themselves. You will be able to read poems by Taras Shevchenko or
master any other language from the Slavonic linguistic group. As for
the practical benefits, I think it's enough to mention that Ukrainian
Diaspora in Canada includes up to 1 million people; as for more local
perspectives, the University of Toronto is maintaining long-time
friendly relationships with Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, and enthusiasts are
always welcome for an amicable sight-seeing tour, academic research or
even recruitment as a lecturer. Evidently, fluent Ukrainian is highly
desirable in this case.
My offer is quite challenging, for only learning Ukrainian is a tough,
although worthwhile experience. Only the most motivated and the most
hard-working can accept this challenge. But let me assure you that
those who will give a try will find out that the "journey itself is
the reward"(3). Brave-hearts, come to the front desk right now and
enter you surname into the list - and see you next Thursday at 8-30.
As for the other students, let me thank you for your attention.
Good-bye!
