Every mistake comes with its reason, in Russian.

Where Russian speakers trip over Italian

Three things Russian does not prepare you for. The drills and the AI here are built around them.

Articles: il, lo, l', la

Russian has none. Italian picks the form by the first sound of the next word: lo studente, l'amico, il libro.

Essere or avere?

The past tense needs a helper verb, and it is not always the same one: ho mangiato, but sono andato.

Sounds that slip

Reading o like a, softening a consonant before e or i, splitting gli in two. The pronunciation check listens for these Russian habits.

How it works

A teacher and AI, in one place

Your teacher sets the direction. AI does the repetitive work: it makes the exercises, finds your gaps and explains them.

Homework that explains itself

A topic becomes homework: exercises and a word list in Italian, with help in Russian.

A course for your goal

Say what you need, a trip to Rome or a new job, and get a step-by-step course: theory in Russian, exercises and listening in Italian.

A short lesson every day

Built from your homework and your course, and it brings back your recent mistakes, so you review what you actually forget.

A map of your Italian

Grammar skills from A1 to C2, plus pronunciation and vocabulary. Each skill has a level that moves as you practise.

Quick questions

I'm a beginner. Where do I start?
Open the articles drill, or build an A1 course in your account. Your skills map shows what you have practised, level by level.
Do I need a teacher?
No. The drills, the Italian club and AI-made courses work on your own. A teacher adds homework made for you, and sees your mistakes and progress.
Are the explanations in Russian?
Yes. The drills explain every mistake in Russian, and the AI writes its help in the native language of your profile, Russian by default.
Can the AI make mistakes?
Yes, like any AI text. The drills check your answers with fixed rules and word lists, not with AI, so the same answer always gets the same verdict. AI-made exercises and courses can contain slips: ask your teacher to check them, and report an error through the Contact page.
Is it free?
Yes — joining a teacher, homework, progress tracking and the practice tools are free. Some heavy AI features may cost later, and you'll always see it before you use it.
