SUMMARY:Ukrainian language and culture class (registration required\, series of 8)
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone! My name is Alisa\, and I am passionate about learning and teaching languages. I speak three languages\, and English is my third one! \nI was born and raised in Kharkiv\, Ukraine\, and moved to the United States at the age of 19 to start a new chapter of my life after the invasion of my country. I love the beautiful nature and the peaceful\, relaxed atmosphere of Tennessee. \nSince moving here\, many people have asked me to teach them Ukrainian. Some want to learn the basics\, while others hope to continue learning over time—so here I am! \nIn this class\, you will learn the fundamentals of the Ukrainian language\, including essential vocabulary\, pronunciation\, and everyday phrases. By the end of the course\, you will be able to communicate at a basic level\, hold simple conversations with Ukrainian speakers\, and gain a deeper understanding of Ukraine’s culture and history. \nI look forward to learning with you! 🇺🇦 \nHow to register: 35.00 donation for series of 8 classes saves your seat https://square.link/u/UDcpoaPM \nCost: 35.00 \nLocation: Drawing room\, 2nd floor \nInstructor contact: Please text Alisa at 423-460-2853
