What learners say
This app is well worth the subscription! I'm a shy perfectionist, often freezing when required to speak, so speaking in a new language is extremely challenging for me. This app has been very good practice to build my confidence. I've tried to practice speaking with other LLM's (GPT, Claude, Gemini) but struggled with their ability to keep a structure that allowed for sustainable practice. Dia has been a joy to use, solving for those issues. It has helpful features, giving me feedback on improving my sentence structures. I'm also enjoying the surprise images.

Frequently asked questions about learning Russian
Do I need to learn Cyrillic first?
No. Your tutor writes in Cyrillic and can add the pronunciation with the stress marked, so you can start speaking while you learn the letters.
Can I prepare for the TORFL exam?
You can practice for it. It's conversation practice, not an official mock exam.
Will the tutor explain cases and verb aspect?
Yes, in context. Your tutor explains a case or an aspect pair when it comes up in the conversation, so the rule is tied to something you said.
Will my tutor explain when to use ты and вы?
Yes. Your tutor uses ты with friends and вы with strangers or in formal situations, and explains the difference when you ask.
How is this different from Duolingo for Russian?
Duolingo helps you recognize Russian. Dia gets you saying it: you speak, your tutor answers and corrects you gently.
Choose a tutor, then start talking.
Your tutor answers in Russian, corrects you gently as you go and switches to your language when you're stuck.
