I Have Spoken Ukrainian More in the Last Year Or So Than I Have in My Entire Life.

Posted on the 27 May 2023 by Doggone

And definitely in the last month.

I often wonder how long it would have taken me to get up to speed linguistically if I had been allowed to join the international legion. I know I could drive a truck and free up a space, but I am too old. Anyway, I find I am talking to people in Ukraine and helping in the ways that I can. I don't feel too useful, which is incredibly frustrating for me. 

I just had a conversation with someone in Lv'iv, which is in the west and "away" from the heavy fighting in the east. It's an area close to the Polish border. Still, they are having a hard time.

I wish this would end.
