Ukrainian, anyone?

Bobcat's first language is Ukranian but he hasn't spoken it since he was a child.
But, I will ask his older Canadian cousins to see if any of them can still read it. I'll PM you later.

That would be great, thanks!

I used to work with Ukrainian speakers; I'm sure there are some at my current job. I'll hunt around.

That would be great, thanks! I know plenty of Russians, a Hungarian cashier, and many other immigrants, but no Ukrainian!

Karen, did you try using Google Translate? My friend is a first grade teacher and loves it helps her deal with parents.

I know a few people from Russia, but not from the Ukraine. Actually I thought they'd be speaking Russian in the Ukraine as well - after all, they were all part of the former Soviet Republic - but I guess I'm wrong and they do have their own language but according to wikipedia, it's not so different from Russian.

Sandie - Google translate and online translators are not always as accurate as one would wish, as they work word for word, but sometimes lose the meaning in a sentence. To see what I mean, type in a sentence in English, have it translate to some other language, and translate it back to English and you'll see what I mean! Language is tricky! Thankfully the person wrote back to me in English, and apologized for the delay in her response, so we are all set anyway!
