НА:[SEELANGS] Ukrainian textbooks? (was NY Times - "The Retreat of the Tongue of the Czars")

[Kathryn Cassidy]

Resources for learning Ukrainian are still not overwhelming, however the two I used predominantly were Ian Press and Stefan Pugh's 'Ukrainian: A Comprehensive Grammar' and 'Colloquial Ukrainian'. Many of those I know who teach Ukrainian still develop their own resources. In addition, one Ukrainian lanaguge teacher also made use of materials developed for Peace Corps volunteers. I also have a Ukrainian-language guide for speakers of Romanian, which I got from a friend in Chernivets'ka Oblast. It is neither published, nor particularly extensive though.

Тема: [SEELANGS] Ukrainian textbooks? (was NY Times - "The Retreat of the Tongue of the Czars")

Whether Russian is declining or not, Ukrainian is surely becoming more
important.

There must be textbooks to teach Ukrainian to non-Ukrainian speakers.

What are the best such textbooks for English; French; German; Russian
speakers?

I'd be especially interested in the last. A Ukrainian textbook aimed at
speakers of Russian would inevitably concentrate on examples of
linguistic interference in such closely related languages.
