The artist’s color wheel. This is the traditional red–yellow–blue (RYB) model. White, black, and gray are neutral colors, shown beneath the wheel. The swatches illustrate hues, rather than exact paint-mixing results.
A note on Ukrainian. These are masculine singular color names. Their endings change to match a noun. English pronunciation guides are approximate; capitals mark stressed syllables.

Learning Ukrainian Art

Use color and shape to practise recognizing Ukrainian words and combining them. The Study deck brings the two together: a picture appears first, then a tap reveals and speaks a phrase such as червоний круг — red circle.

How to practise

  1. Choose the lesson or tab that matches what you want to practise.
  2. Listen, repeat aloud, and check the written Ukrainian.
  3. Use the subject pages and vocabulary reference for review between practice sessions.
