“Your tongue can get you all the way to Kyiv”. TEEI launches its language programme for Ukrainians
TEEI offers its educational platform to help people from Ukraine practice language skills with international volunteer teachers. The volunteer service is provided in partnership with TEEI platforms. Participation is free.
Over 13 million people have had to leave Ukraine since the war started, and they found themselves in new countries with people speaking completely different languages.
TEEI connects people who want to practice language skills with volunteers on TEEI Language. Ukrainian refugees can learn the language of their host country, enhance their integration into the communities, and improve their ability to access the local job market.
Ukrainians sign up for free and start learning by choosing the teacher and the language they want. Currently, more than ten languages are available: from English and German, to Lithuanian and Korean. The sessions are held in a friendly and easy-to-use digital environment over 1-1 video sessions. It is not just all language learning but also an opportunity for students to practice and connect with native speakers around the world.
