Every lesson

Learn in every way.

Every lesson teaches in every way at once: read the story, listen to every line, speak out loud, see original art, review new words, and practice what you learned. It's all in one lesson.

Read

The story in your host's voice, with grammar in plain words.

Sunita

I am Sunita, Aarav's mother, and let me tell you, nothing in this kitchen escapes my eye, especially not hungry children! The university festival is finally over, and while I fry these hot samosas we are going to review everything you have learned so far.

Anya

In Russian, adjectives must match the noun they describe. Think of the noun as the blueprint of your building: it dictates the shape of everything attached to it. Masculine большой, feminine большая, neuter большое.

Listen

Hear every line spoken out loud, with the translation right underneath.

Иван: Привет, Аня!
Hi, Anya!
Аня: Привет, Иван!
Hi, Ivan!
Mummy Sunita: आरव, खाना खाया?
Aarav, did you eat?
Aarav: नहीं मम्मी, मुझे पानी चाहिए।
No, Mummy, I want water.

Panda Mic hears you say each line, right in your browser.
