Ukrainian Language Becomes a Window Into the Country's Culture

Weekly video lessons with teacher Olha, based in Ivano-Frankivsk, revealed the beauty of Cyrillic letters, from the sweeping Л to the candelabra-like Ж.
The Ukrainian-only letter Ї, seen scrawled in occupied Mariupol as defiance, and Ґ, restored after 1991 independence, carry deep meaning. Struggling with consonant clusters like in 'незважаючи на' (despite), the writer found the language a way to say 'despite the war' and connect more deeply with the people and stories they report on.
