Immense vocabulary which is important but not sure if there's instruction explaining the changes in suffix. Russian is filled with consonants and J doesn't exist. For english speakers, adding it into pronunciation isn't ideal. Much like saying 'Jah' instead of 'Ya'. I don't like the voice script or the price. Plus side, vocabulary and daily lessons.

Hi JS, we teach Russian through example rather than through explicit explanation (that's why you don't see instructions about the changes in suffix, but rather you learn implicitly). We're sorry you don't like the price, but to produce a resource of this scale (10k instructional phrases) and with professional translators, actors, etc. it does cost.

This is a great ap! Big points that stand out... You can create your own lessons, very good audio, and it's extensive enough to get you to a great conversational level if not very close to fluent. And it's fun...

I like the app. It's clear, has photos to go along with the words, and tests your spelling. I just wish they were longer.
