" . . . the first of its kind to present the most frequently found combinations of Ukrainian words in a modern setting with fluid, pitch-perfect English translations."- Michael S. Flier, Harvard University

It is an irreplaceable resource for Ukrainian-speakers who study English and native speakers of Ukrainian who wish to perfect and enrich their Ukrainian.

• Over 9,000 entries that comprise the most frequently used Ukrainian lexicon
• More than 200,000 word combinations
• 80,000 illustrative examples, including common Ukrainian idioms and their English equivalents
