| Brief Description: | Ukraine, like many of the former member states of the Soviet Union, is a land with its own distinct language, culture, and history, Johannes Poulard's popular textbook, updated and expanded for twenty-first century readers, offers an ideal introduction to those interested in learning more about this Eastern European nation. It begins with an introduction to the Cyrillic alphabet, and then teaches the basics of the language with dialogues, text passages, and concise explanations of grammar. The audio CDs, produced especially for this new edition, feature native speakers and help the student to learn the language as spoken. The latter sections of the book cover topics in Ukrainian history, culture, and literature. |
