you’ll actually use.

How it works

Three easy steps, then it’s yours.

1

Pick a moment

Choose what’s coming up — ordering food, getting around, meeting the family — and open a deck of clear cards: the Russian, how to say it, and what it means.

2

Hear it, then say it

Tap any card for a native voice, repeat it out loud, and check off each word and phrase as it starts to stick.

3

Take it with you

Save your favorites to pull up anywhere — and when a new situation comes up, translate it by text, voice, or camera on the spot.

The everyday moments a trip is really made of — saying hello, asking the price, and ordering what you want.

Loved by learners

The people behind the streak.

“My partner’s family is from Almaty. I learned the phrases that actually come up at their table — and saved them all in one place for the next visit.”

“Seeing the meaning, the pronunciation, and whether it’s formal — all on one little card — means I actually say it right, not just recognize it.”

“I pointed my camera at a menu in Almaty and just… ordered. Two weeks later I was holding my own at dinner. 10/10.”

Questions

Good to know.

I’m learning for travel or my partner — is this right for me?

Exactly right. It’s built around the everyday words and phrases that come up on a trip and in daily life — a real help if your partner speaks Russian, too — and it works for any Russian-speaking country, from Russia to Kazakhstan and beyond.

Do I need to know any Russian to start?

Not a word. You’ll begin with the alphabet and the most useful phrases — everything appears in Russian, pronunciation, and English together, so you’re never lost.

How long until I can hold a basic conversation?

About ten minutes a day is enough. You’ll move through 12 levels — from the alphabet and first words up to real, everyday conversations — at your own pace.

How are the lessons organized?

Two ways: a guided path of 12 levels and 80+ lessons that builds step by step, or browse by theme — family, food, travel, shopping, health and more — to jump straight to what you need.

How does each word or phrase appear?

On a single clear card with the Cyrillic, the pronunciation, the meaning, and a note on when it’s formal or informal — plus a tap to hear it in a native voice.

Can I save words I want to remember?

Yes. Tap the heart on any word, phrase, or translation and it’s kept in your Saved collection — your own personal phrasebook, synced to your account and there on any device you sign in on.

How does the translator work?

Three ways: type it, speak it, or point your camera at a sign or menu. It auto-detects the language in both directions and reads the result back in a native voice.

What’s in the dictionary?

A searchable dictionary you can look up in English or Russian — with each word’s meaning, part of speech, and every inflection (cases and conjugations), all tappable to hear and savable with a tap.

Will it help me actually remember?

Save any word or phrase with a tap and it lands in your Saved list, ready to come back to. Lessons are built around the words that repeat in real life, so the ones that matter keep showing up.

What does it cost?

$59.99 a year — that’s $5.00 a month — or $11.99 month-to-month. It’s one app at one price: both plans include everything, and the only difference is how you pay.

How does the free trial work?

You get 7 days of the full app free, with no credit card to start. When the trial ends you choose a plan to keep going — nothing is charged automatically, because we never took a card.

Can I switch plans or cancel?

Anytime, from your profile. Switch between monthly and yearly whenever you like, and cancel from the same screen — your access continues until the period you’ve paid for ends.

Your first Russian conversation starts today.

Stop memorizing and start speaking. Молодец — that’s you, soon.
