You choose the mode and how much Russian you want to see. No cramming. You simply read — and step by step you start to understand Russian in context. How it works • Pick a book and a reading mode. • In immersion mode, Russian phrases are blended into the English text — you read as usual, but every page brings a little more Russian. • In parallel mode, the original and the translation sit side by side — perfect for comparing and unpacking unfamiliar structures. • Tap any word you don't know to see its translation instantly. • Every translated phrase is saved to your personal dictionary and ready to review with flashcards.
