[Ukrainian] Hi! Today I'm in Odessa [English] and in today's
video from Odessa, Ukraine, I'm gonna be going into
what are the 10 hardest words to pronounce in the
Ukrainian language. What you heard me as an
intro, was just saying: "Hi! Today, I'm in Odessa."
in the Ukrainian language and
that guy behind me is Taras Shevchenko
He is the national poet of Ukraine and his stuff in
Ukrainian that's why he's pertinent to today's
video but let's get into today's TipThursday
with me Conor Clyne and my battle trying to
pronounce the hardest words in Ukrainian, let's go!
[Ukrainian] Hi [English] so here I am with Jenia wearing
traditional vyshyvanka because that's what
Ukrainian girls do every day every day, so this is
a traditional Ukrainian top. Also you
have the men's version but I don't have one yet
because we have to go shopping and buy one for me
Today as I said I'm about to butcher the
Ukrainian language to little bit what I did in
Russian of few weeks ago, so this is 10 hardest
words to pronounce in Ukrainian so are we ready to go?
First word: What's up?
[English] No!
It's not 'je', it's 'ze'!
[Russian]: No need to swear! [English]: Ok, next one!
I think you can conquer Ukrainian language.
That is a tough one!
[Ukrainian] - Again we try? - No - One more time! Let's try!
[English] That was nice!
[Russian] - Correct?
[Ukrainian] - It seems like he has been practicing, you know.
That's not all what we have.
We still have to work on your sibilants = hissing sounds . It should sound "shtch", Like "borsch".
And «borsch» you should be able to pronounce properly. It is "borsch" after all!
[Russian] You love borsch!
[Ukrainian]
[Ukrainian] You have a problem with the letter 'd'. A problem with your chin!
Try to repeat it at least ten times and then it will be fine!
Ready? - Yes, ready.
[Russian] Go on, Conor!
[English] Ukrainian is so melodic
[Ukrainian] Yes, once more!
You have to work on your Ж = «zh». You just walk and buzz as a beetle. Very nice !
- Say 'Jenia'! Say 'Jenia is good.' - Jenia is not good!
After you in this I will wonder whether it's worth helping people with their Ukrainian pronunciation!
So that was my attempt pronouncing the 10 hardest words in the Ukrainian
language. Let me know, in the comments section
below how you think I got on. It was fun to make.
I think I did maybe a little bit better than
in Russian or maybe just as bad at least I have the
excuse that I only studied Ukrainian for about
a month in total. If you enjoyed this video
