Why are Ukrainian cases so tricky?
If you’ve tried learning Ukrainian, you already know: cases are one of the most challenging aspects of the language. Each case comes with lots of different endings, and even the same word can change in several ways. When you’re speaking quickly, it’s almost impossible to stop and think about which ending is correct.
That’s why just knowing the rules isn’t enough. You need practice until the forms become automatic — so you can speak without thinking about grammar at all, just like native speakers.
Most courses only skim the surface of cases. But in this course, we do something different: we focus entirely on the Locative case. You’ll get the time, practice, and support you need to finally master it. And later, we’ll tackle the other cases in their own dedicated courses.

That's what our first students say about the course:
Before starting this course, I was very overwhelmed with certain aspects of Ukrainian grammar, especially cases. After taking this course, the Locative case became crystal clear and I can use it much more confidently when speaking, reading or even writing in Ukrainian. Very clear and useful tasks, amazing video explanations and perfect pacing of the learning curve 👌🏻

Questions & Answers
Do I need to know Ukrainian already?
This course is not for absolute beginners. It’s more suitable for advanced beginners – learners who can already read in Ukrainian, know some basic phrases and vocabulary, but haven’t started learning Ukrainian cases yet (or tried but got confused). This course will help you deal with grammar in an easy way, while also giving you plenty of useful vocabulary. By the end, you’ll naturally expand your vocabulary without even noticing!
What if I’m not sure about my level?
If you’re a beginner who plans to continue learning Ukrainian and has little to no understanding of Ukrainian cases, this course is perfect for you. It will guide you step by step through Ukrainian cases — and in this course, you’ll focus specifically on the Locative case.
