With
colorful, eye-catching illustrations to stimulate imagination and curiosity,
My First Ukrainian Dictionary is specially designed for
children ages 5 to 12. It contains more than 1,000 everyday words (from colors,
animals, household items, foods and more)--each illustrated and translated into Ukrainian
with accompanying phonetic pronunciation.
The
illustrations are arranged alphabetically by English so even young readers can
easily search for words, and each one is labeled with clear, bold
type.
Recent studies suggest that children should begin
learning a foreign language before age 10 for best results. This dictionary is
a fun, engaging way for parents or grandparents to introduce Ukrainian to young
children. Teachers will also find the dictionary useful for students who are
learning Ukrainian or English from Kindergarten and up.
Ukrainian is an East
Slavic language spoken by over 40 million people worldwide. It is an official
language of Ukraine in Eastern Europe and written with the Ukrainian alphabet
using a variation of the Cyrillic script.
