Introducing our Ukrainian Language Course

At Drops, we believe in the power of connecting through language. As we witness the devastating war in Ukraine, our team has been transforming our loss for words into a set of initiatives to support the Ukrainian people as they seek safety and peace for their country.

  • Drops Provides Free Language Courses to Ukrainian Refugees: We want to help those impacted by the war feel more at ease in their new surroundings, without the barrier of language. As of April 20, 2022, we’ve donated over 70,000 language courses. These premium memberships unlock lessons in all of our languages including Polish, German, and Hungarian. See here for more information on this program.
  • Kahoot! Stands With Ukraine: Our parent company, Kahoot! has made an emergency aid donation to Save the Children and the Norwegian Refugee Council to support and protect Ukrainian children, families, and refugees. Find out more about how Kahoot! stands with Ukraine.
  • New Ukrainian Course: Drops has added the Ukrainian language to the app to help those who are seeking to connect and support Ukrainians through language. Start learning Ukrainian with Drops!

About Our Ukrainian Language Course:

Our Ukrainian course was created with those who are helping Ukrainian refugees in mind.

When deciding which lessons to include, our team focused on the most essential vocabulary. If you are welcoming a family of refugees or volunteering, you will find useful questions such as “how are you?” and learn the names of food and household supplies.

The course is also for those interested in preserving the language and culture of the Ukrainian people. Get started with the Ukrainian alphabet, learn the names of some Ukrainian food items, and even start conjugating verbs!

We are excited to introduce Ukrainian basics in the app and to continue to grow the course with time!

Meet the Team:

It normally takes four months for us to add a new language to the app, but we were determined to add Ukrainian to the Drops family as soon as possible. Our compact team at Drops was joined by Anna Ohoiko, the Ukrainian educator behind UkrainianLessons.com. The course was voiced in record time by Mariia Shevchenko.

"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."

"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."

Simon Griffiths

"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."

Colin Seladones

"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."

Merindel

"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."

"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."

Diana Morris

"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
