Practice Ukrainian conversation, corrected in English.
For heritage speakers, partners and friends of Ukrainians and anyone who understands Ukrainian but hesitates to speak it. Talk about ordinary things; every slip is explained in one plain English sentence.
Five mistakes almost every Ukrainian learner makes
These are the corrections Parlenta gives most often. Each one comes with a single English sentence, not a grammar lecture.
| Topic | You write | Correct | Why, in one line |
|---|---|---|---|
| у + locative | у Київ | у Києві | У meaning in takes the locative: у Києві. |
| Vocative | Привіт, Олена! | Привіт, Олено! | Ukrainian addresses people in the vocative case: Олено. |
| з + instrumental | з мій брат | з моїм братом | З meaning with takes the instrumental: з моїм братом. |
| немає + genitive | У мене немає час | У мене немає часу | After немає, the noun goes into the genitive: немає часу. |
| Aspect | Завтра я буду написати лист | Завтра я напишу лист | For one finished action in the future, use the perfective verb on its own: напишу. |

Ukrainian questions
Do I need to read Cyrillic?
Reading it helps, since the conversation is in Ukrainian script. Writing is easier: type in Latin letters, or use the on-screen keyboard.
I understand Ukrainian but freeze when I speak. Will this help?
That is exactly who it is for. Voice mode lets you talk without interruptions, then shows the transcript with your corrections.
What level do I need?
Any. You choose where to start, and Parlenta adjusts as it sees how you write.
