The History of the Ukrainian Language (video ENG)

This is a video I filmed for my English-speaking students who want to study Ukrainian. I like to always start my classes with this lecture because it sets expectations for what it's like to speak Ukrainian and how our history influenced our grammar structure and vocabulary. This lecture is based on what I was taught at the university in Odesa Ukraine backed by my personal research, and it challenges some points of russian propaganda through time.
This video will be interesting to those who want to know more about Ukrainian culture and how it survived centuries of persecution.
