Ukrainian language courses at the University of Toronto, with Prof. Mariana Burak.
This site was created by students of the Ukrainian program at the University of
Toronto. Here you will find information about the UofT language program. You can see how our students studied before quarantine, and what the course
was like during the pandemic: what exercises we used, how we studied online, how we
spoke Ukrainian, how we sang Ukrainian songs, and so on. It seems to be a success!
Our courses
The Ukrainian program at the University of Toronto is one of the best in North America.
There is always a wide variety of courses to choose from, including those on literature,
culture, and of course, language. This year, we offer the following language courses:
SLA108 - Elementary Ukrainian
SLA208 - Intermediate Ukrainian
SLA308 - Advanced Ukrainian
Courses about Ukraine can also be found at the faculties of history and political science!
