What variant of English is the most popular in Ukraine?
Me as a person who has dedicated his life to the study of foreign languages can
answer the question in the very best way. Here, in Ukraine, everybody is taught as if
London variant of British English in school. In fact the most of secondary school graduates
don’t speak English at all or use disastrous Ukrlish or Runglish. Those few
really can communicate English prefer American English. Why so? The answer is
simple the most of English intellectual products here are from the US so American
English is more natural to local people than British English. Talking about International English that is
very popular in Europe it is worth to admit that it’s not needed here because Ukrainians
are business contacted to Russians and Polish people in most of the cases and
use Russian and Polish to communicate as well. The biggest part of Ukrainian
companies with International contacts hires professional translators and
interpreters those as I’ve already mentioned prefer American English.
