There is a growing need for people with English language skills in Ukraine. The government is currently working to make English more accessible to everyone.
This was announced on Telegram by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.
“We are preparing a draft law that, in particular, will consolidate English as a language of international communication,” Shmyhal said.
The Prime Minister added that the Cabinet is currently working on solutions that will make learning English more accessible to everyone.
“After the victory, we will launch a large-scale project to restore Ukraine. We expect a number of foreign companies and investors to come here to develop their business and create jobs. The English language opens up wide access to knowledge, the labor market, information and cultural products, and higher wages. Ukrainians should also benefit from these advantages, which will help establish Ukraine as a regional leader,” Shmyhal said.
Last August, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy drafted a bill to establish the special status of English in Ukraine as a language of international communication.
I am fluent in Russian and English. Even though Ukrainian was my first language I remember nearly none of it having lived in the U.S. for over 40 years.
Going to have to do a bit of research on how I can help. And yeah, Ukraine countryside is absolutely beautiful, I could see retiring there to teach English. Wife doesn’t speak any eastern European languages, so that might be a hard sell.
