Videos in Ukrainian with Ukrainian subtitles are one of the most common requests from Ukrainian learners. It is true that listening practice becomes more practical for your language learning when you also have the text at hand. Here is a collection of videos in Ukrainian with Ukrainian subtitles or transcripts for you!

Some techniques for watching videos in Ukrainian with Ukrainian subtitles

  1. Try to watch the video without subtitles, trying to capture the general ideas. Do not focus on the problematic words. Then, rewatch with the subtitles and translate the words that block your understanding.
  2. Try to watch the video in small chunks, pressing stop and play. This will give you some time to process the words.
  3. My personal favorite! Try to watch the video without the subtitles in small chunks writing down or saying aloud exactly what you have heard. In most cases, you will need to re-listen to the same part 2-4 times. Then, watch with the subtitles to compare.

Videos in Ukrainian with Ukrainian subtitles are not easy to find. However, you can also do the similar to the described above practice with the videos that do not have subs. Then, you might want to ask your Ukrainian friend or a tutor to help you with the problematic parts. You can try watching some great Ukrainian movies online here!
