Russian for beginners, spoken from day one

Starting a language from zero is mostly about not quitting in the first week. What keeps people going isn't a grammar chart, it's the small thrill of actually saying something and being understood.

Parlita gets you there in minutes. Your first session has you hearing, repeating, and using real Russian phrases in a tiny conversation, no typing and no pressure. Russian looks intimidating because of the alphabet, but that falls away in about a week, and then it's just a language like any other. Here are the first words you'll learn.

Your first Russian phrases
приветprivethello
спасибоspasibothank you
меня зовут…menya zovut…my name is…
как дела?kak dela?how are you?
покаpokagoodbye

These are the exact phrases your first session teaches, and you'll use them in a real conversation, not just read them. Try it in the demo.

Common questions
Is Russian hard for beginners?

Russian is very learnable once the alphabet clicks, and Cyrillic takes only a few days to read. Starting by speaking, rather than memorizing, makes the early weeks much easier to stick with.

What are the first Russian words I should learn?

The greetings and self-introduction below get you into a real exchange immediately, which is the fastest way to feel progress. You'll build out from there.

Do I need any experience?

None. The first session assumes you know nothing and walks you from zero to a short spoken conversation.
