What Russian demands

Russian is not hard because of its words. It is hard because of what each word drags along. The card carries it all.

Stress you can see

Russian stress is mobile and it changes meaning. Every word on every card shows its stressed vowel, and the paradigm warns you when the stress moves (хожу, but ходишь). Cyrillic from day one: no transliteration crutches.

Aspect, always in pairs

A Russian verb is half of a pair. When a verb enters the dictionary, its partner comes with it: стать is one tap away from становиться, everywhere they appear.

Cases where they happen

Six cases, drawn as braces under the words of real sentences, so government and agreement are seen rather than memorized. The full declension table is still there, one tap away.

Register, before you need it

Neutral, colloquial or worse: when a word carries a register, the card says so up front. You learn where a word belongs along with what it means.

A dictionary built, not scraped

The Russian content is authored and verified as a dataset with hard quality gates, not collected from the web.

7,500+

words and growing

Many words carry several senses, over 11,000 in all, and one card teaches exactly one sense.

22,000+

Russian example sentences

Every sense is taught inside real sentences, fully annotated: stress, case brackets, aspect. Each one carries its own English and French translation.

A1 to C1

built from accurate data

The dictionary merges the official TORFL (ТРКИ) language levels with real word-frequency data. No intermediate wall: it keeps going where beginner apps stop.

How to learn Russian: the honest guide ›

Five drills, live in the beta

Each hard spot of Russian gets its own drill, and they all run on the same dictionary: real sentences, your words, an explanation with every answer.

Flashcards

The core review loop over every sense: recall the word from its meaning and its sentence, in write, pick or flip mode.

Conjugation

Produce the form a real carrier sentence demands, then see the full conjugation table and where the stress moves.

Aspect

Recall the partner (стать ⇄ становиться), spot the perfective where prefixes lie, and after every answer see both aspects side by side in real sentences.

Cases

Three exercises: produce the form a sentence demands, name the case of a highlighted word, decline any noun to a random cell. The full declension table is one tap away.

The Russian cases, explained ›

Verbs of motion

Pick the verb the sentence needs (идти or ходить?), recall the pair, and learn the uni/multi logic nobody else drills.

Every answer explains itself

Right or wrong, the reveal tells you why: the cue in the sentence, the rule it triggers, and what the other choice would have meant. Explanations are authored and verified like the rest of the dictionary, not generated on the fly.

Listen and Ask AI

Every card carries its voice, and every sentence takes questions.

Listen

Every headword and every example sentence is voiced with the stress you see: one tap on the card, at full or slow speed.

Ask AI, with community Q&A

Ask anything about any sentence and get a tutor-grade answer. Every plan includes free questions each month, and browsing other learners' answered ones is unlimited.

Say it in Russian

The phrases everyone asks for, each with its stress marks, register labels and the grammar behind it.
