Winter goes on! Ukrainian in Lviv
Second Ukrainian Winter School 2010
“WINTER GOES ON!”
February, 15-26 2010
The winter in Lviv has its special charm. It is snowy usually in February, so the city is white and light. It is the best period to visit theaters, museums, cinemas, comfortable Lviv caf?s. For active people it is the best time to rent the skis, skates, toboggan. There are skating-rinks in Lviv, one of them is just at Rynok Squre! Winter sports in Carpathians mountains (one hour from Lviv by car) are also possible during the weekends. So, winter goes on!
The 2-week Ukrainian intensive course is created due to ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe) requirements and has communicative orientation. It mixes the language learning with unique Ukrainian cultural traditions, folk and modern songs, games, dishes, and so on. You will have the time to visit most interesting places in Lviv (National Art Gallery, Opera Theatre, ancient mountain High Castle, Open Air Museum …)
There are groups (up to 5 students) due to three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced. The entry test helps us to check your knowledge.
Our lecturers have great teaching experience for foreigners and native speakers in the best Ukrainian universities and abroad.
The study program is approved during several years, that is why it is effective and easy for students. It is flexible depending on student level and wishes as well. It includes developing your oral, writing, reading and listening skills. For a detailed program see the attached file.
You can choose an appropriate accommodation for you. We cooperate with some hosting Ukrainian families for quite a long time and have good opinions from our students who lived there. Practically all the family apartments are in the very center of city, about 5-30 minutes to the teaching place on foot. You will have a separate room. A simple breakfast is included in the accommodation fee. The sum about 9-11 EURO is normal for one night in Lviv in a hosting family.
The Ukrainian intensive course fee for a two weeks is 249 Euros. It can be paid upon arrival.
The school fee includes:
- study process, tutorials
- hand-outs and a certificate
- introduction to Lviv excursion
- a “survival file” (Lviv map, useful information, a program, a notebook, a pen etc)
- coffee breaks
Why in Lviv? – Because Lviv is:
- ancient and the most interesting Ukrainian city for tourists
- really Ukrainian speaking city (opposite to Doneck or even Kyiv)
- located not far from the west Ukrainian border
- not an expensive city (opposite to Kyiv)
- has unique multicultural traditions: combines the Ukrainian, Polish, Austrian, Germans, Armenians, Jewish and others cultures
- modern and progressive city with up-to-date shops, restaurants, caf?s, theaters, cinemas, universities …
