Cura: Learn Russian
Innovative Language Learning
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Having a hard time learning Russian? You can sound out Cyrillic, but it still takes you forever to work out what a word actually means?
CURA, the Commonly Used Russian Assistant, is built around one simple idea: there's a difference between reading a word and knowing it. CURA closes that gap.
SIGHT LEARNING
A Russian word flashes on screen for a fraction of a second, then disappears. You pick what you saw. Because there's no time to sound it out, recognition has to become automatic, which is exactly what fluent reading feels like. Five speeds, from relaxed to blink-and-you-miss-it, in either direction.
FLASH CARDS
New in this version. Study any word with two-sided flash cards scheduled by spaced repetition. Each card comes back just before you would forget it, so your review time goes where it is actually needed instead of drilling words you already know.
CYRILLIC ALPHABET
Just getting started? Learn to read all 33 letters, sorted by how much trouble they tend to cause, with special attention to the "false friends" that look like Latin letters but sound completely different.
ALSO INSIDE
- 300 of the most common Russian words, organized into three frequency tiers
- Every word with its stress marked and a romanization
- Problem Words mode that resurfaces the vocabulary you keep missing
- Daily streaks, stars, and progress tracking to keep you coming back
Whether you are learning your first Cyrillic letter or sharpening vocabulary you already half-know, CURA turns reading Russian into knowing Russian.
