Russian and Ukrainian are really similar. For example, I'm translating "are you mad" in both languages.
Russian: Ты сердишься? (Ty serdish'sya?) Ukrainian: Ти сердишся? (Ti serdishsya?) |

| Yes, tough they have a different alphabet and somehwhat slightly different vocabulary. Tough I don't really know the differences. It's like Dutch-German, but I think that Dutch-German is have a slightly more difference than Russian and Ukrainian. |

There are some words in Ukrainian that appear to have no relation to Russian vocabulary. If I were to say "I like..." in both languages:
Russian: Мне нравится... (Mne nravitsya...) Ukrainian: Мені подобається... (Meni podobayet'sya...)
The word for like (in this case) are nowhere near the same. Also, i and є do not appear in the Russian alphabet. |

"I like __" in Dutch and German: Dutch: Ik mag __/ ik vind __ leuk. German: Ich mag __/ Ich liebe __.
There are also cases where there are no or very little similarities. Tough, the Dutch people can understand the German people more than the Germans can do us. Why? Maybe because Dutch is a for a big part old-German. |

| A Russian with no knowledge of Ukrainian could listen to our language and kind of understand. But it doesn't work the same way if a Ukrainian with no knowledge of Russian listens to Russian. Then again, 1/3 Ukrainians speak Russian as a first language, so it's a really important language to learn for us native Ukrainian speakers. |

We don't really need to learn German, tough we get teached it in the second and tirth class of the comprehensive school (also depends on the niveau you're doing). Then y You can decide to continue with it or without it. It will make understanding German easier, but we don't really require it to understand a conversation. |

| I live in an area where most people speak Russian firstly. Schools here have courses in Russian, but then there is this program where you can take it in Ukrainian. If you do take it in Ukrainian, Russian as a second language is mandatory to learn until higher grades where you get to choose. The people who go in normal Russian classes do not have the option to learn Ukrainian as a second language. |

Wow, that seems dumb and kinda racist.
We MUST learn Dutch, Maths and English (wich for all three I'm good at) as the basics, we will have this EVERY school year. Why don't they like also do that in Ukrain? Like: Must learn: Russian, Ukrainian, Maths (maybe English too)...? |

Languages aren't races so it's not really racist. xD
You can't do English courses here until higher grades, where you get to choose whether to learn the language or not. If you're in the mainstream Russian program, you must learn Russian, math, science, and social studies. If you're in the Ukrainian program, you must learn Ukrainian, Russian, science, and social studies. |

@sinii: Then it would be discrimination. XD
I don't understand that, I mean; English is the most used language to communicate with (talking about comminucation as a whole, as for native speakers: Chinese would win). Y u no be logical xD |

| It's like that because most people speak Russian in the autonomous city my school's in. There are places in Ukraine that aren't quite like here, where they speak Ukrainian more than Russian. |
