Hello Kai,
Unfortunately, we don’t offer Ukrainian at the moment. I will refer your inquiry to the academic team. In the meanwhile, you can pick one of the other languages available.
Thank you for pointing that out!
Kind regards,

No Ukrainian in the list?
Thank you, Tina.
The opinions of your experts on my question would be very useful to me as I try to decide whether I am just fooling myself by trying this many languages at once at my age.
Thanks,
Walt
Hi Walt,
thank you very much for your comment. I am absolutely impressed by your language learning capabilities although languages are just a hobby for you. I passed your question to our linguistic team for a more sound feedback.
As for my personal opinion, the learning languages capabilities depend very much on the personal motivation and natural limitations. Speaking about myself, I struggled with Japanese for 2 years and at the end gave up learning it, as I was not making any feasible progress. Therefore, I admire your current efforts.I guess that Bulgarian and Dutch are your easier choices now, as you already mastered the basic logic of the languages and need to build upon your knowledge of Russian and German.
Best regards,

David hi,
thank you for the suggestion. We will keep Welch in mind when we consider adding new learning content to our language portfolio.

Hi Joanna,
thank you very much for the feedback. You can start learning Turkish right away with TurkishClass101.com, where the content is created by native speakers. You might appreciate it as I know from personal friends that the Turkish spoken in Bulgaria differece in pronunciation from the way it is spoken in Turkey.
We will keep Georigan in our pipeline of new languages. Stay tune and you might find it in our list of languages soon. However, creating and promoting the content of a new language takes time and efforts.
We hope to see you browsing or practicing new languages you might be interested in learning with us. Anyway, just leave us a note if you need any help in the process. We are here to make studying fun for you :)
Best regards,

My Russian and German used to be quite good, even for every day use in the USSR and Germany respectively (and for three days of "discussions" with the Bulgarian Secret Police back in the 70s). Romanian was next on my fluency list, followed by Norwegian and French. But more recently my focus has changed, so that I am now studying Japanese, Bulgarian and Hebrew (with a bit of Dutch when time permits). Note: I am not and have never been a linguist -- languages have just been a hobby.
The point of this note is not to boast -- I know people far more skilled in foreign languages than I am. My point is to ask a serious question for both linguists and psychologists: how many new languages can a person in his/her 70s expect to learn simultaneously? Please take this question seriously, because I would like to know the theoretical limits.
A long time ago I lived in Wales for 3 years. I would love to learn Welsh.
The Welsh are very proud of their language and their long cultural history. Wales is also a very beautiful and interesting country.
I would love to learn Turkish as I live in an area of Bulgaria with lots of Turkish speakers, and it would be great to visit Turkey frequently too and be able to speak and understand.
I would also be very interested to learn Georgian - I love the way it sounds and what a fabulous alphabet!
Languages that you already offer that interest me are Russian, Arabic and Persian.
Hi Tony,
thank you for your note. You are quite correct, it required quite an investment to create the content about a new language and to promote it. Stay tuned, and I think that there might be nice surprises for you :)
The Balkan region is a rather interesting place with diverse ethnic and religious groups and dynamic history. There was a Bulgarian movie some time ago, After the End of the World (1998), which was quite insightful about the situation in Bulgaria in the 1940s. If you can find it, you might like it, as you indicate you are interested in understanding the local cultures.
