Learn Russian Words

There's no denying that Russian is one of the most melodic languages in the world, but it's also one of the hardest to learn. If you want to start studying the language, you could start with Learn Russian Words. This simple application will introduce you to Russian words, using both Latin and Cyrillic characters, and it will teach you basic phrases. It also comes with a few tests, to help you see how well you've learned.

A free trial version is available, with no time limit, but with a content limit. It can be installed like any other application, by following a setup wizard's instruction. You don't have to meet any special requirements, and you won't notice any impact on your computer's performance when you run the application.

Learn Russian Words has a clean and simple user interface, on which you can perform any actions without any effort. You can switch between learning and testing modes at a moment's notice, with a single click. You can learn Russian word by word, from various topics, by starting a slideshow-like presentation, with words in English and Russian, written with Latin and Cyrillic characters. Additionally, you can click a speaker icon to hear the pronunciation of each word. You can also look over a similar presentation, but with entire phrases.

The application's testing module consists of four different mini-games. You can start with a word-pairing game, in which you have to match English words with their Russian translations on a grid. You can also opt for something more simple, like choosing the correct translation for English or Russian words, or simply typing Russian translations for English words.

While it doesn't teach you Russian on an advanced level, with grammar and rules, Learn Russian Words does a decent job at teaching you basic words and phrases. It can show you statistics about your answers, and you can also customize the narrator, to make the pronunciation clearer. The software gives you a good start if you wish to start learning Russian from scratch.

Russian is not among the easiest languages to learn, but Learn Russian Words can give you a good foundation to build upon.
