While memorizing words, the frequency of lesson is more important than duration of each lesson. 10 minutes on each day of the week will be more productive than one hour of tuition a week.

One minute lessons Taking into account busyness of modern life, we designed each lesson in the way so it would never take more than one minute to complete it! So you no longer need to search for free time to practice Russian! Simply, once you get a chance, launch the app and do one lesson at a time =) Short sessions will not affect efficiency of word memorization.

Only useful Russian words Russian for Beginners: LinDuo HD is a free and quick start to learn Russian language! Unlike others, we have only the most useful words, which are divided into 180 topic based lessons. Quality is here!

Teach-yourself Russian is designed, that it will use your visual and echoic memory to help you memorize Russian words fast and easy!

Special illustrations We use only specially developed infographics (developed by psychologists), so your eyes can quickly identify meaning of word or action without stressing them with small unnecessary details.

Word pronunciation by native speakers Our app will help you master pronunciation of Russian words! Each word is recording by professional native speaker! Additionally, in the settings you can choose between male or female voice.

Dynamic lesson difficulty The app changes lesson difficulty gradually as you progress. To achieve this, it keeps stats for EVERY word! Example: in the spelling mode, initially you need to insert several missing letters in a word, then create a word having extra letters and finally, when you are ready, you will need to type the entire word on the keyboard.

Modes for quick learning The App includes four additional lesson types which are made of Favorites, Difficult, Old, Random words. You can add any word to your favorites and later create custom lesson from your Favorite words. Words are automatically added to "Difficult" (the ones you struggle to memorize) and "Old" (which you have not reviewed for a long time) sections. A "Random" mode will create a unique lesson.

Do not need to know how to read If you cannot read yet, no problem! Each word has a transcription in your language! And for more experienced ones, in the settings, you can choose a phonetic (like in a dictionary) transcription.

Additional features Thanks to your reviews, we are constantly updating the app to make it better! To help you take care of your eyesight, with just one tap, you can activate dark theme. If you temporarily do not have internet access, no problem! The App can work offline as well!

Review Past Material Many good apps do not pay enough attention to review past material! For this purpose we created the word game "True or False". It is very simple, but it's addictive and the most importantly, it helps to repeat past material and never to forget it!

Ratings and reviews

It's ok. I like the appearance and usage of the app. I enjoy the little lessons. Problem is, for me, there is no alphabet lessons I've seen. I have no idea which symbol sounds like what, and find myself just memorizing the order/pattern of the words with pictures rather than learning the word itself. So you'll need an extra app to learn the alphabet. The Roman pronunciation is available which is nice, but I never learned the sounds of tiny j in upper corner and long thin S.

I just started using it. I am VERY impressed! I needed another game: a game that teaches is an excellent idea! But I wish it would print out the new words when they are pronounced. That's how I remember words, I see them in my mind. I also want to have some short sentences that could be used in dialogue. I'd also like some reading practice of simpler Russian sentences.

This is a very simple app but it works very nicely. The test levels make me feel like I covered an area well and being able to see how many questions I will be asked is helpful. It's just very clean and nice to use. It is really for vocabulary (which is fine - apps are great for this) and I am using it in combination with other methods but it has a nice foundation that it can build on in future.
