On her birthday, a woman gets an unexpected call—and everything flips. Red heels, a vanished plan, and a clue she didn’t see coming. This narrated episode coaches you through past-tense verbs (I got, I went, I saw, I understood).

Today’s handy lines:

• «Ya vidkryla dveri i pobachyla korobku.» — I opened the door and saw a box.

• «Meni treba bulo hotuvatysya do vechirky.» — I had to get ready for the party.

• «Uchora vony kupuvaly tsi tufli.» — Yesterday they were buying the shoes.

Find the full past-tense list in our Facebook group ⁠⁠Ukrainian Up Podcast⁠⁠. Listen, repeat, save—and enjoy the little shiver of a good mystery while your Ukrainian gets stronger 💛💙
