In the first episode Sandi and Vit try their luck at podcasting to discuss how perceptions of Ukraine have changed since the beginning of the war from both within and without. This pilot is frank, funny, and tragic all at once.

A big thanks to all the mentors who helped with our “research”.

Welcome to Lesson #2 for our advanced B1 and B2 students, where we dive deeper into 'Food and Drinks' and unravel the intricacies of 'Adverbs of Frequency'. Listen to our Ukrainian participants eloquently discussing their preferred dishes, the significance of meals in their lives, and the frequency of their indulgences. Ukraine's rich culinary heritage finds a voice as these students harness the power of the English language to present it on a global stage.

In the Ukrainian context, food transcends mere nourishment; it embodies stories of lineage, kinship, and perseverance. Mastering English amplifies these stories for a wider audience.
