На словарь украинских сокращений наш редактор добавила замечательные находки про табак и алкоголь — импортные и отечественные:
ТІ — тютюн імпортний,
ТВ — тютюн вітчизняний
АІ — алкоголь імпортний,
АВ — алкоголь вітчизняний
Все это было в постановлении про акцизные марки.
Ukrainian lessons
If you live in Moscow, you are not so lucky to find lessons of Ukrainian. It is easier to move to Kiev for several months to get lessons there. There is Cultural center of Ukraine in Moscow, which provides two-year courses of Ukrainian, which in turn are the only public ones in Moscow for adult people.
That is really sad, because groups for these lessons are combined from people of different level of knowledge, and some attendees just wish to get the certificate after the course. My situation is worse because what I need from Ukrainian lessons is improving only one way, Russian-to-Ukrainian, not vice versa. I'm under hesitation.
