Ukrainian university students competed in Polish dictation in Ivano-Frankovsk

By Kristina Galitskaya and Yekaterina Ignatova

The All-Ukrainian Polish orthography competition, supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Ukraine, took place at a university in the city of Ivano-Frankovsk on November 15, 2019. The participants came to Ivano-Frankovsk from nine Ukrainian cities including Kiev, Odessa and Mariupol. Thirty nine students from 22 universities wrote a text dictated by Elzhbieta Rachynska-Skorupska. Based on a real story, the plot was authentic.

The purpose of the competition was to popularize Polish culture and encourage students to discover the world of Polish orthography.

Two students of the Faculty of Linguistics have successfully represented the Kiev-based Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute in the competition. Presented with diplomas and commemorative gifts, all the participants have got not only experience but unforgettable impressions, as well as made useful acquaintances.

Apart from doing the dictation the competitors made a city tour and had a chance to immerse themselves in a fantastic atmosphere. And the cherry on top was an excursion to the town of Yaremche, Ivano-Frankovsk region.

"That was a great opportunity to meet Polish language lovers and share time with them in Ivano-Frankovsk," said one of the participants from the Kamyanets-Podolsky University. "We're impatient for the next meetings!"
