vol.2 少年と若者のちがいはなに？　What’s the difference between Shoonen and Wakamono?

If you want to say HELLO, it depends on the time of day.
If it's morning, it's better to say ДОБРОГО РАНКУ.
If it's afternoon, it's ДОБРИЙ ДЕНЬ
If it is evening - then ДОБРИЙ ВЕЧІР or ДОБРОГО ВЕЧОРА
If it's night -- ДОБРОЇ НОЧІ
If you want to wish someone good night, you can use the previous phrase or ДОБРАНІЧ
It is also possible to say ВІТАЮ, but this word has two meanings: HELLO or Congratulations
These are formal greetings.
However, if you're talking to a friend, it's okay to say ПРИВІТ.

So how to say goodbye or bye? 
Goodbye is до побачення. By the way, побачення means “a date” and до in this context means “till”, but this phrase still means “goodbye”.
If you want to say “see you”, you can say “до зустрічі”. 
These are kind of formal ones.
And if you are talking to a friend and want to say “bye”, you can say:
– па-па (bye bye)
– бувай (bye)
So we can say it like “Як справи”.
“Як ти” – which is informal.

And what should we answer? 
We can say: 
Добре – which means good.
Дуже добре – very good 
Нормально – normal
Не дуже – not much. As I have said before, дуже – means very. So we literally say “not very”.
Чудово – great
Погано – bad
It is also possible to say “непогано” which means “not bad”

Basic words in Ukrainian 

Welcome to the American English Pronunciation Guide. My name is Trevor Kafka, and I am your host.

There are many different varieties of American English. I was born and raised in New York, which has given me General American English pronunciation. The English that I speak has 15 vowel sounds. 

Please view the transcript for help while listening.

Today, we will talk about the vowel sound number 2 of 15: /eɪ/ grey day. This vowel is what we call a diphthong, meaning that it’s really two vowel sounds smooshed together as one. The mouth begins very open when the sound begins, but then turns into a smile as the teeth come together.

Listen to me saying this sound and repeat: /eɪ/, /eɪ/, /eɪ/

Listen to and repeat the following single-syllable words:
gray
day
pain
whale
waste
straight
tail
wait
shade

Listen to and repeat the following multiple-syllable words:
chamber
embrace
greatest
labor
vacation
translate
Canadian
information

Listen to and repeat the following sentences:
The way you say “gray” makes my day quite okay.
I embrace the shade to stay out of the sun’s rays.
The greatest of Canadian vacations have no space for rain.

I would like to thank Shirley Thompson and Karen Taylor for their work in developing the set of key phrases that I use with each vowel, such as /æ/ black cat, /eɪ/ grey day, etc.
