Learning a language is always a good thing, and being able to read (and hopefully understand) Shevchenko is always a good thing. I am not there yet myself, but i have been to poetry readings, and even translated his literature is still powerful.
Germany you are the bees knees!
I’m German, and if I had the chance to learn Ukrainian back when I was in school, I would have taken it. East Slavic languages are really cool, and Ukrainian is without a doubt the most fascinating one among them because of the crazy dialect continuum.
Good to see that Hesse is being proactive about cultural preservation.
