Choose your language
The first app in the Logos family
Real Russian, taught by someone who has spoken it since birth.
Olga, your Russian friend, guides you one word at a time. You listen to her voice, you repeat, the microphone corrects you. And whenever you have a question, you ask her.
Logos ita/rus: Russian for Italian speakers. The app is in Italian. Speak Russian and want to learn Italian? Its twin, Logos rus/ita, has the same full course, from the first word to level 3. See both apps
Two apps, one guide
The first language is the one you speak, the second the one you learn. The method is the same, and Olga, your Russian friend, is always with you.
For Italian speakers
Russian, explained in Italian
The full course from the first letter to level 3, with every word's pronunciation written in Italian spelling. Olga explains the rules in Italian and chats with you in Russian.
Приве́т! (privièt!) Hi!
For Russian speakers
Italian, explained in Russian
The full course from the first word to level 3, with every word's pronunciation written in Cyrillic. Olga explains the rules in Russian and chats with you in Italian.
Ciáo! (ча́о!) Приве́т! (privièt!)
How it works
No endless lists, no grammar before its time. Russian comes in the way a real language does: you hear it, you say it, you use it.
Each screen gives you just one thing to learn, with Olga's voice and the pronunciation written in Italian spelling. Your mind stays clear and the word sticks.
я́блоко (jàblaka) the apple
First you use the sentence, then you find out why it works that way. The rule arrives when you need it, and by then you already know it.
Ви́жу ма́му. (vìzhu màmu.) I see Mum.
The ones people actually say in Moscow and Saint Petersburg: at the café, in a taxi, with family. Not the sentences from old textbooks.
Мо́жно мне ко́фе, пожа́луйста? (mòzhna mnie kòfi, pazhàlusta?) Could I have a coffee, please?
Olga Assistant
Not sure why something is said that way? Ask her. The Olga Assistant explains the rule in simple words, gives you more examples and chats with you in Russian, at your level.
Why do you say “Дай мне су́мку (daj mnie sùmku)” and not “су́мка (sùmka)”?
Because the bag is the thing you receive: it's the direct object. Feminine words ending in а (a) show this by changing the а into у (u). Just like in “Ви́жу ма́му (vìzhu màmu)”, I see Mum.
The Olga Assistant is an artificial intelligence: answers are generated automatically and may contain mistakes.
The Russian people really speak: on the street, at the café, with family.
Го́род на Неве́ (gòrat na Niviè), the city on the Neva
The course
A complete and orderly path in three levels: you climb one step at a time. Every unit ends with a review and a test.
Level 1
The alphabet, which you can also skip, and 14 units: greeting people, ordering at the café, counting, the home, asking for help.
Приве́т! Меня́ зову́т… (privièt! minià zavùt…) Hi! My name is…
Level 2
20 units: cases, verbs of motion, work, holidays, the city, up to the level 2 test.
С днём рожде́ния! (z dniom razhdiènija!) Happy birthday!
Level 3
20 units: news and opinions, Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Pushkin, cinema, travel, all the way to official certification.
Ни пу́ха ни пера́! (ni pùha ni pirà!) Good luck!
Even before lesson 1
The phrases you need to get by straight away, if you leave for Russia tomorrow: saying hello, asking for help, asking people to repeat.
Повтори́те, пожа́луйста. (paftarìti, pazhàlusta.) Could you repeat that, please?
Words and phrases for the things you care about: from food to astrology, from sport to philosophy.
Features
Learning a word is easy. Remembering it a week later is another story: that's why Logos brings it back at just the right moment.
During the day you get a word you have studied. Tap “I know” or “I don't know”: the word keeps coming back until you really know it. You choose how often, from every 10 minutes to 3 times a day.
Played with the words you have learned. In Memo you match Russian and Italian pairs and the tiles disappear; in Mahjong you clear the stack, layer after layer.
Already know some Russian? Talk to Olga, out loud or by tapping the answer. At the end you see your pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary, and which unit to start from.
Say it out loud: the microphone listens and tells you right away whether your pronunciation is right. When it is, Olga says “Отли́чно! (atlìc'na!)”, excellent.

The Logos family
Logos begins with Russian, but it is a family of apps. The first language is the one you speak, the second the one you learn. Today: ita/rus, Russian for Italian speakers, and rus/ita, Italian for Russian speakers.

It depends on the app. Logos ita/rus is in Italian and teaches Russian to people who speak Italian. Its twin, Logos rus/ita, is in Russian and teaches Italian to people who speak Russian, with the same full course from the first word to level 3: on the web it is at rusita.logos-apps.com. In both, your guide is Olga, your Russian friend. Apps for more language pairs, such as eng/ita and spa/ita, are on the way.
No. Every Russian word comes with its reading in Italian spelling and the stress marked, so you know straight away how to say it. Whenever you like, there is a section devoted to the alphabet, Алфави́т (alfavìt), which you can also skip.
Olga is your Russian friend: Russian is her native language. Logos ita/rus and Logos rus/ita follow her method, and she checks the content of both courses. The voice you hear in the apps is hers.
No: it is an artificial intelligence that answers with a voice recreated from Olga's. It explains, gives examples and chats with you, but it can make mistakes. For anything important, always double check.
Both apps are coming soon to iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Versions for iPad and Android tablets will follow right after. And on the web, in the browser on computers, tablets and Android phones: Logos ita/rus at app.logos-apps.com, Logos rus/ita at rusita.logos-apps.com.
Ten minutes is enough. Lessons are short, and the Зна́ю (znàju) and Не зна́ю (ni znàju) reminders keep you reviewing throughout the day, even without opening the app.
Choose a Premium plan and for 7 days you get everything without paying. If you cancel before the trial ends you are not charged anything; otherwise the subscription starts and renews automatically.
On iPhone: Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Logos. You can cancel whenever you like; Premium stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.
It is Premium for two people at a single annual price: each person has their own account and their own progress. Perfect for learning together.
The microphone only turns on in pronunciation exercises, when you tap it. On iPhone, speech recognition happens on the device. All the details are in the privacy policy.
