What makes Ukrainian different from Russian? In this video I will show you how I differentiate between spoken and written Russian vs Ukrainian. These languages sound similar to people who don't speak Slavic languages, but while all East Slavic languages have characteristics in common, there are numerous differences which allow us to determine which language is which by just reading or listening to a few words. Enjoy this linguistic commentary and analysis!
