One of the greatest challenges facing England fans at Euro 2012 will be communication.
The official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian, although Russian is widely spoken.
In Kiev the metro system has recently installed signs in English as well as the Cyrillic alphabet to help supporters travelling around the capital.
But English is not common in Ukraine, and fans will find it easier if they learn a small amount of the native language.
Here are some phonetic translations of Ukrainian words and phrases:
Hello: Pree veet
