Learn Russian with Loquus
Russian gives you a new alphabet and word endings that carry a lot of meaning. Loquus lets you approach both through lessons, audio, and reference tools. Take time to recognize a written word, listen to its stress, and look at how it changes in a sentence.
Start with a greeting. Keep going from there.
Some Cyrillic letters resemble Latin letters but represent different sounds. Use the alphabet reference and audio to build a connection between each symbol and its sound. When a word feels familiar, check it in the Dictionary rather than relying only on how the letters look.
Stress is an important part of a Russian word and is not usually marked in everyday writing. Listen to available word and example audio while reading. Repeat the whole word, then play it again in a phrase to hear it as part of connected speech.
Russian noun, adjective, and verb forms change with their role in a sentence. Grammar Center offers explanations and examples to help you investigate a form you encounter. Compare available related forms in the Dictionary, keeping the meaning of the sentence in view as you review.

Real screens from the first day of the Russian course in the iPhone app.
Open the app and today’s session is waiting. The Russian course begins with Sounds & First Contact, and the first lesson is Greetings & Introductions.
Your first word is привет (privet), meaning hi, hello (informal). Each new word comes with its meaning and audio at normal or very slow speed, plus a reading in Latin letters.
Right after a new word, you repeat it after the voice. This is called shadowing, and it builds speaking habits from your very first lesson.
Typing steps bring their own keyboard, so you can write Russian before you add a keyboard to your phone.
