Über diese App

Stuck at intermediate Russian? Mishka helps you move past the plateau and start understanding how Russians actually speak. Built by a certified tutor. Tested with real learners.

WHY MISHKA IS DIFFERENT

Every lesson comes from a tutor with a certificate in teaching Russian as a foreign language, a bachelor's degree from Moscow State Linguistic University, and a master's in educational sciences from the University of Vienna. Then tested with intermediate learners. Just carefully structured Russian, built for the gap where most language apps stop being useful.

Your study time is valuable. Mishka exists because we couldn't find an app that actually met the needs of A1+ students ready to go beyond the basics, so we built one where every lesson counts.

• Created by a certified language tutor
• You choose what to focus on, not a locked path
• Every lesson tested with real learners at the target level
• Grammar sequenced so concepts build on each other properly
• Hundreds of stories with recurring characters and a consistent world
• Exercises that test comprehension, not just recognition
• Most content works offline. Learn anywhere
• New lessons and features added regularly

STORY-BASED LESSONS
Learn through short stories featuring Маша, her dog Пряник, wise neighbor Иван Петрович, and a cast of characters who grow with you across levels. At B2, you follow characters who moved to Russia and face real situations like job interviews, banking, and official documents. Tap any word for an instant translation. Listen with professional audio. Then practice with quizzes, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence reordering, matching, writing, and more.

• Stories across 5 CEFR levels (A1 to C1)
• Professional audio with word-by-word highlighting
• Tap any word for instant dictionary lookup
• 10 exercise types, not just multiple choice

COMPLETE GRAMMAR COURSE
Hundreds of interactive grammar lessons from basic sentence structure through complex subordinate clauses. Every lesson sequenced intentionally, no random topic jumps.

• Cases, aspect, motion verbs, conditionals, and more
• 10+ exercise types including sentence building, error correction, and minimal pairs

CONJUGATION & DECLENSION TRAINERS
Russian has hundreds of word endings and keeping them straight is one of the hardest parts of the language. Mishka has dedicated drill modes for both verb conjugation and noun declension. Pick which endings to practice, choose from built-in words or add your own, and drill until the right forms come naturally.

• Choose specific cases or verb forms to focus on
• Add your own words to practice with
• Instant feedback on every answer

AI CONVERSATION PRACTICE
Practice real Russian with AI that adapts to your level. Complete structured missions or have a casual chat with real-time corrections and grammar explanations.

• Dozens of guided missions and casual chat scenarios
• Real-time corrections and vocabulary building
• Three difficulties for each CEFR level (easy, medium, hard)

WRITING PRACTICE
Practice free writing in Russian with AI feedback, or test your spelling by writing prompted sentences in Russian.

SPACED REPETITION FLASHCARDS
Save any word from any lesson with one tap. Spaced repetition scheduling surfaces cards at the right time. Speed review and matching modes keep it fresh.

ADVANCED CONTENT (B2 to C1)
This is where most apps stop. Mishka keeps going with culture deep-dives, idiom lessons, and real slang, all taught through stories, not dry vocabulary lists.

• Culture lessons (баня, Масленица, the world's deepest lake, and more)
• Idiom lessons taught through context, not definitions
• Slang mini-lessons
• Full Russian immersion at B2+

ALSO INCLUDES
• Placement test to find your level
• Bilingual interface (English or Russian)
• Free preview at every level.

Built by a teacher. Tested by learners. No shortcuts.
