Welcome to the World of Learning Russian!
PixiLearn - Russian Word Play is a Russian Vocabulary Flashcards app that teaches the Russian alphabet and 1,000+ Russian words and phrases in a fun and interactive way. Designed primarily for children but also suitable for adults, it helps learners take their first steps in the Russian language. Letβs see how it works.
Iβm Csaba, a father of two young children from Europe. I wanted my kids to learn a foreign language in a playful way, so I looked for a Russian flashcards app that would be suitable for both them and me. Since I couldn't find one, I used my experience in software design and education to create one together with my wife.

How It Works β The Learning Method

π Categories and Phrases: Over 1,000 Russian words organized into 30+ categories, making it easy for both younger and older children to find relevant vocabulary.
π Age Groups: From simple baby categories to more advanced content, this app is useful for learning Russian from age 2 to teenagers.
π Pictures: The foundation of the learning method is visual association. The playful illustrations come to life, smile, or make funny expressions, making the Russian alphabet and Russian phrases easier to remember.
π Audio: Each word comes with native Russian pronunciation, ensuring children learn the correct pronunciation effortlessly.
π Fun Russian Language Learning: The app includes a learning module (PixiSchool) and six games to help kids learn Russian words and phrases while having fun: PixiMemory, PixiQuiz, PixiPair, PixiSay, PixiWords, and PixiSpelling.
π Contextual Learning: Each phrase includes a short description and a Hungarian translation, which can also be played aloud, making learning both engaging and effective.

The Games and Skills Developed
------------------------
π PixiMemory: A classic memory game where children must match identical picture cards. After each correct match, the Russian word is pronounced, expanding vocabulary while improving memory, concentration, and language skills.
π PixiSpelling: A Russian alphabet game where kids must correctly spell the Russian word based on the displayed image. Once completed, the word is read aloud with native pronunciation, reinforcing spelling and word recognition.
π PixiQuiz: Children must choose the correct image that matches the displayed Russian word from four options. Incorrect answers allow for retrying, helping to develop word recognition and visual association.
π PixiPair: Kids match colored picture cards with their black-and-white pairs. Successful matches trigger the pronunciation of the word in Russian, enhancing concentration, fine motor skills, and vocabulary.
π PixiSay: Children must say aloud the name of the object shown in the image. If unsure, they can flip the card to hear the correct Russian pronunciation.
π PixiWords: A listening and reading comprehension game where children must select the correct word from four options to match the image. This helps improve listening skills and reading abilities in Russian.
