Ukrainian textbooks? (was NY Times - "The Retreat of the Tongue of the Czars")

[Chernetsky, Vitaly A. Dr.]

Dear Colleagues,

I would strongly recommend Rozmovliaimo!/Let's Talk!, co-authored by Robert DeLossa, Roman Koropeckyj, Robert Romanchuk, and Alexandra Isaievych Mason. It is published by Slavica and it was the winner of the AATSEEL book prize in the language pedagogy category a few years ago. The book covers two years of language instruction (elementary and intermediate) and has a special section dedicated to the specific problems of Russian speakers learning Ukrainian.

Best wishes,

Vitaly Chernetsky

Subject: [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.
