If you want to say Ukrainian out loud in every lesson and have each answer checked, Natulang is built for that. Here is how the apps people compare it with have you speak.
| App | How you practice speaking |
|---|---|
| Natulang | You say every line of real-life dialogues out loud, and speech recognition checks each answer |
| Pimsleur | You answer a recorded audio lesson out loud. Nothing checks what you say |
| Duolingo | Short lessons where you mostly tap, match and type |
| Ukrainian Lessons | Podcasts and books, so you mostly listen and read |
| HelloTalk, Tandem | Messages and calls with native speakers, without a course |
Natulang is built around speaking. You learn real-life dialogues by saying them out loud, speech recognition checks each answer, and the phrases you get wrong come back on spaced-repetition intervals.
I’ve been learning Ukrainian for a few years, but it can be difficult to find language learning resources for it in general, never mind high quality resources. … The app doesn’t disappoint.
I also now use the Natulang app which I HIGHLY recommend. It focuses on speaking. I can’t say enough about this app. I feel it’s advanced my Ukrainian language tremendously.
Pimsleur Ukrainian is an audio course. You listen to a recorded lesson and answer out loud in the pauses, much like with an audiotape, and nothing checks what you said.
Duolingo's Ukrainian course is free. Its short lessons are mostly tapping, matching and typing.
Ukrainian Lessons by Anna Ohoiko is a set of podcasts, books and blog posts. You mostly listen and read rather than speak.
HelloTalk and Tandem are language exchange apps that connect you with native speakers by text, voice messages and calls. There's no course, and beginners often find it hard to hold a conversation before they know the basics.
If you want to say Ukrainian out loud in every lesson and have each answer checked, Natulang is built for that. Its Ukrainian course is made in Ukraine and written by a native Ukrainian linguist.
