Learn Russian Language & Vocab Reviews

by Blogography

The description is talking about Korean, but I got the Russian app. A lot of LearnRussianLanguageVocab is very good. But then they randomly throw things at you so advanced that it becomes frustrating. Cyrillic is a big adjustment to make, but they have a swipe-type game where you have to drag your finger across characters to spell complicated words like “eleven” in Cyrillic when you’ve only barely touched on how you might do that. This should have been saved for further down the road once you’ve been made comfortable with the characters. Since I am just now memorizing the characters and how they sound, I have to swipe a bunch of times so LearnRussianLanguageVocab can tell you that you got it wrong. No kidding. What a complete waste of time. If you’re going to force me to play a game I am unable to play yet, can I at least skip it? Furthermore, if you sign up with Apple ID on iPhone… then go to sign up on a web browser with Apple ID, it creates an entirely new account and nothing is transferred from your previous sessions OR the languages you’ve purchased. — I think LearnRussianLanguageVocab COULD be fantastic… if they put a little more thought into how you progress through it. And fix Apple ID logins so you aren’t stuck to a single device.

This has iOS 9.3 required, but it crashes on two max 9.3x devices I still use. I just bought the lifetime premium, and I have nothing to use it on at the moment besides a computer where it's not saying the words like in LearnRussianLanguageVocab . Very disappointed as this needs to be fixed to support older devices again.

Original review:
It has great pronunciation and an easy format, but there's never enough time and the prices are outrageous. The worst part is watching those seconds tick away trying to spell some of the longer words. As LearnRussianLanguageVocab doesn't seem to have any verbal check, if I can't say the words correctly yet I can't begin to spell them correctly. I would easily spend an hour a day over two sessions instead of the little base of five minutes each session. The prices make me think I'd need to spend ten hours a day to get any value.

So I truly love LearnRussianLanguageVocab . I do. But there are always some things that can be fixed. Like for example, you surely know of the button that says “Share and get 20 minutes”? Yes, well the problem is that it seems to not work for me. I’m not sure if it is problem with my device or with app. Either way, if it is app that has issue then I would like that to be fixed. It’s not a big deal but just want to let you know. Anyway, I have learned a few things and I enjoy LearnRussianLanguageVocab ! It has a nice design and I appreciate that it sometimes repeats the same thing over and over again. I’m sure that I am one of those people that complain about this but... the time. Both things. The time it takes to recharge it too long. I mean, you wait for 10 hrs for 5 minutes! Of course you would probably tell me to just pay for more time. That’s how life is. Most things are not free. I might question who would pay that much money for an app that teaches a certain amount of Russian. I’ve learned a small portion of Cyrillic alphabet. In short time. But you are not here to read a random person’s progress. I assume you are here to see if you are doing well and if there are some things you could change or fix. Now about the 5 minutes, you must get this complaint a bunch. But time too little. Anyway, I must say goodbye. Thank you for reading and I hope to see the small problem fixed.

Please make it easier for the user to understand the correct pronunciation maybe more broken down for those who have a trouble to understand the language of English. For example if д, is shown in LearnRussianLanguageVocab as da. Which is proper, however for my dumb American way of viewing things I can’t tell how to properly pronounce it upon viewing it, I want to say it like dee instead of what da sounds like in my head. It’s very hard to explain but I hope that makes sense. If not I’d be glad to re articulate or find another way of working with it. It’s a great app and I hope to learn as much Russian as I can so I can Hope visit for a pilgrimage one day ☦️.

I love LearnRussianLanguageVocab! My family is russian so I have some vocabulary and can understand some stuff, but I downloaded LearnRussianLanguageVocab so that I could learn how to read. It starts you off learning the alphabet, then moving on to words and phrases. The pronunciation of the words is very accurate and the voice is definitely modeled after a native speaker. LearnRussianLanguageVocab is better than duolingo because it starts you from the beginning, with the alphabet instead of words and phrases. It is important to know these first before learning diction, syntax, and grammar. If you want to learn Russian, this is LearnRussianLanguageVocab to do it with. The only reason that this did not get 5 stars is because of the time limit. The 5 minutes is a good time frame and really pushes you to produce answers fast. But after they run out, you have to wait 10 hrs until they refill. If you want more time, you have to pay for LearnRussianLanguageVocab . This was advertised as a FREE way to learn Russian. I understand the whole premise is to be as free, but maybe have just choose to view an ad for 5 additional minutes. Otherwise, this is the best app I’ve seen yet!

It’s fun and addicting, if you like to see your progress. I absolutely love this way of fun learning. I’ve picked up so much here that I can relate to Russian television. I did pay for the full version because like I said it’s addicting and I hated waiting for the word reload. Though when it did reload I was so excited! I recommend the full version if you’re trying to learn a language fully. And quickly. It’s honestly one of my favorite apps. Only one thing the Доброй ночи should be changed toСпокойной ночи. The previous way is no longer used. Other than that, I love it.

Recently for some reason it still shows that I’m premium but it has removed my premium rights. I literally use this everyday so I’m highly upset about this. I didn’t pay for LearnRussianLanguageVocab to just all of the sudden not allow me to use it. And then to try and seek assistance is so difficult. Not sure what happened but hope it’s resolved soon. I’m not paying again.

I got LearnRussianLanguageVocab because I needed to learn more Russian. My initial reaction was "Its gonna be some dumb app that you need to pay $20 for." Boy, was I wrong! Although you do have to pay for the premium version, it teaches you a lot in 5 minutes! You learn at least 5 new words in those 5 minutes you have and you get to do different things to help you memorize and spell those words. The only sad thing about LearnRussianLanguageVocab is that you only get 5 minutes every 10 hours. I also decided to learn French (which probably wasn't a good idea, I should focus on one language at a time. 😬😂) but again, if I just finished my 5 minutes of Russian (or vice versa) I would have to wait 10 hours to get another 5 minutes.

Overall, this is an amazing app for anyone who is a beginner at the language they are learning, or a pretty advanced person who just wants to learn some more of that language or more difficult words! 😊

Overall, LearnRussianLanguageVocab has very much helped me in learning Russian. My grandpa is from Russia and I wanted to learn to help understand him better. LearnRussianLanguageVocab starts you off with learning the alphabet (which I learned super fast in under two days due to the fact that LearnRussianLanguageVocab is very helpful and efficient). After that it moves into words and phrases which is more helpful for learning Russian. I very much like the design and simplicity as well. The only reason I gave LearnRussianLanguageVocab a 4 star rating instead of 5 is because of the time limit. I don’t think people should have to pay to learn a new language. Also five minutes a day is helpful, but people who are more serious need more time. As well as that this was advertised as a free app. As a closing statement, I think the learning methods and efficiency is amazing but the time limit should be put as a larger amount of time.

Thanks for reading my review and have a great day.

I have been using Drops for months now to learn Russian and I love how LearnRussianLanguageVocab became a part of my routine effortlessly. I was critical of the previous update because I thought it sped things up too quickly, which I wrote about. However, with this new update, they resolved the issue I had. This shows that they really pay attention to their consumers which is very admirable. I truly thank them for paying attention!

My only suggestion that I have left is a more efficient way to select the words I want to study in the Touch Word Dojo. That being said, I am truly appreciative of LearnRussianLanguageVocab and the efforts the developers make to this product as great as it can be. I am excited to see what they will come with next.

It’s a little hard but I am a beginner so I’m a give it a four stars until I am a pro at it which should give me maybe five months I could learn languages super quick so yeah I’ll have a review and five more months hopefully I don’t have to pay and if I do in the pan I pay with purchase and play store because I have money they’re not my card but so then yeah bye but it’s really good for beginners really good I’m still a beginner but I love LearnRussianLanguageVocab only thing I hate about it is that I get five minutes but everything else is top notch

The price is considerably low for an effective app like this. I love the interface; it’s probably the most aesthetic language app I’ve tried. The voice for the alphabet so for is slightly annoying and I’m not sure if the cards and voiceover are telling me the name of the letter or how to pronounce it or a word that starts with the letter but it’s all good. I’m really just a bit unhappy that I can’t check the words I’ve learned without getting a subscription. Like you’d think that a basic function like that would be free. Unfortunately it’s not. But that’s okay, because LearnRussianLanguageVocab is pretty darn good.

Excellent app for making the learning of important vocabulary of a target foreign language fun. The technology used in LearnRussianLanguageVocab subtly draws one’s focus away from the fact that one is learning new vocabulary, and lulls the objecting overly-active conscious into a quiet compliance. The call and response approach is effective in encoding new words in the mind for memory, the kinesthetic and tactile nature of the interactive game-like presentation make practice an easy habit.

One thing I’m having trouble with is getting my polyglot subscription to open in the general “drops” app. I purchased the polyglot subscription inside of the Russian drops app. I can access all the languages now from the Russian app. But not the general drops app like I would like to be able to see

Thank you.

Perhaps there can be an option where you can click on the word or a button on the upper right hand corner with the option to add a mnemonic. For example, я meaning I in Russian sounds like ya. Mnemonic: Do I have an eye? Ya! After you drop the word into the correct category it repeats the word but it also displays the mnemonic that you created for the word. If the word doesn’t have a mnemonic then it proceeds as normal. One has has the option of uploading images or gifs for particular words. One could also have the option to turn off or on the mnemonic function during the Drops review period

I’ve always wanted to reconnect with my ancestry by learning to speak Russian, but always found it too daunting to approach as a native English speaker. I mean look at that alphabet...it’s so strange!
Everything changed when I found LearnRussianLanguageVocab. It’s made learning Russian approachable and easy, but most importantly, FUN!
There are multiple ‘games’ / approaches to learning words and letters, which keeps things interesting, along with goals and a streak system to keep you motivated and coming back daily.

TLDR; if you’re searching for a fun and effective app to learn a language with (and are willing to spend some money) this is LearnRussianLanguageVocab for you!!!

I am a college student learning Russian and I’m brushing up before my next year. Can I just give LearnRussianLanguageVocab a round of applause? It is such a gorgeously designed app. It has great colors, animations, sound effects, and all the other small details that go into creating a masterpiece. If you want to learn basic vocabulary for a new language, THIS is your app.
The only critique I have is that it only focuses on vocabulary so far, from my experience. I don’t know if it’s added later but I’m only in the beginner stages so maybe it’s included later on?
Overall great product and wonderful experience.

Hi!
Drops is perfect and I love it so much. I really love Russian but I don't have enough time for going to classes. Also I don't need to know Russian, It's just as a hobby for me but I really enjoy it.
I wanted to mention about Persian
language that you don't have it in your lovely application-Drops-. I know Persian as well, actually it's my mother tongue!
So I can help drops if you want to add Persian language to your alternatives.
I think it's necessary because lots of tourists come to Iran every year and people in Iran doesn't know English or any other languages a lot, so tourists will face with such a big problem!Maybe just knowing necessary things will help them a lot;) Or maybe someone wants to learn Persian just as a hobby like me.
So I can help drops and of course I don't want any money for that, I just want to help to my country and other people.
I want to say thank you again for your lovely and interesting app!
(Sorry if I have some mistakes, English is not my mother tongue.)

I have had LearnRussianLanguageVocab for about two months by now, and I love it! While I don’t fully get to enjoy the learning experience due to the lack of time (five minutes per 10 hrs/about ten minutes a day) I still like LearnRussianLanguageVocab . It keeps me entertained while slowly but surely getting me to my dream goal. Along with that, it actually makes sense, it gives you words and phrases that you actually need, unlike other language-learning apps. Fun, simple, and efficient, LearnRussianLanguageVocab is one of a kind. 10/10 recommended.

by Nikakokh

Great application, i’ve never experienced such a big progress in learning one language in a little time. More than 225 Russian words in just one month (free trial, only 10 minutes a day, 5mins in the morning - 5mins at night). I personally would recommend everyone who’s beginner and trying to learn some language from scratch to try LearnRussianLanguageVocab. However, even though I’m very satisfied, it would be great to have summary tests or summary topics in Drops which includes every other topics that i’ve learnt before.

This is the perfect app for learning Russian! It uses all the senses for learning except for touching but how can you with a phone? LearnRussianLanguageVocab is absolutely perfect and should be advertised for people who are interested in learning Russian. It isn’t confusing, it goes over what you have already learned, and ensures you have learned a new Russian word. I couldn’t recommend it enough and I’m definitely recommending it to my friends who are trying to learn Russian. Thank you devs, this is certainly the best app for people trying to learn Russian!

Lots of words. So far I haven’t seen how they are put together. I wish the American English pronunciations were visible first when learning a new word as that is how my brain recalls the word in my memory. After that, the Russian spelling can be worked on (my personal preference.) Need to improve the English written “sounds like” word. Some are way off what it sounds like. I can make and use my own. I also include separating it into stables with the accented syllables marked clearly. I think accented syllables could speed up the learning. Thank you.
