NuanceDeck

Features
Read full description

NuanceDeck teaches Russian vocabulary the way you meet it: inside real sentences, with the grammar on the card. EVERY WORD IN CONTEXT More than 7,500 words, each with example sentences. Under every word of a sentence you see its case, the aspect of every verb and the stressed syllable, so you learn the form together with the meaning. Tap any word in any sentence to open its own card. LISTEN, THEN ASK WHY Natural audio for thousands of words and sentences, the most useful ones first. When a sentence puzzles you, ask the built-in AI tutor about that exact sentence, and read the answers other learners already got. DRILL IT IN CONTEXT Conjugation, cases and aspect drills built from real sentences: type the form the sentence needs, pick the right verb, then check the full table on reveal. SCHEDULED BY FSRS Reviews are scheduled by FSRS, the open, research-backed algorithm trained on hundreds of millions of real reviews, so words come back right before you forget them. Your dashboard shows what is due today, your retention, your streak and the shape of your memory. MADE FOR SERIOUS LEARNERS Words are ordered by usefulness and graded by level, from A1 to C1. Browse decks by theme (verbs of motion, greetings, family, food, emotions and more), give a topic priority, and star any word to learn it next. ENGLISH OR FRENCH Interface and glosses in English or French. Switch at any time. FREE AND PREMIUM The core review loop is free and stays free: no ads, no lockout timers, no cap on reviews. The free plan limits how many words you can have in active learning at once (300), gives your first 40 drill questions free, then 15 a day, and includes a monthly Ask AI allowance. Premium removes the learning cap, makes drills unlimited and gives a larger Ask AI allowance. Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription billed to your App Store account; cancel any time in your subscription settings. Sign in with Apple, Google or email. Delete your account from the app at any time. Terms: https://nuancedeck.com/en/terms Privacy: https://nuancedeck.com/en/privacy
