Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story.

En: A cozy morning in the Karpaty began with bright sunshine. Uk: Оксана, Андрій і Євген, діставшись до родинної хати, стояли під воротами. En: Oksana, Andriy, and Yevhen stood at the gates of their family house. Uk: Зелені пагорби оточували їх, а свіже повітря наповнювало ароматами сосни.
