Text
- Я працюю в невеликому офісі в центрі. У понеділок і четвер я їжджу в офіс, решту днів працюю віддалено. Начальник щопонеділка скликає нараду: говоримо про роботу на тиждень. Зарплата приходить першого числа, а відпустку я беру в липні, як і всі колеги.I work in a small office in the center. On Monday and Thursday I go to the office; the other days I work remotely. On Mondays the boss calls a meeting: we talk about the work for the week. The salary arrives on the first, and I take my vacation in July, like all my colleagues.

Frequently asked
What level do you need to read this text in Ukrainian?

How to read a text in an unfamiliar language usefully?
First all the way through without peeking at the translation — just to catch the familiar words. Then with the translation. Then all the way through again: the second pass brings noticeably more, and that feeling matters more than any rule.
