SpeakEasy Russian app review: a powerful offline phrasebook with flashcards and more

Reviews

Introduction

Whether you’re traveling to Russia for the first time or are just looking to brush up on some of your basic words and phrases, this iPhone and iPad app acts as a powerful offline phrasebook with flashcards and audio clips to help you learn the Russian language in an effective manner.

Russian has always been one of those languages that seems completely inaccessible to me, and apart from meeting a lot of Russians during my travels through parts of Asia, I can’t imagine myself having much of a need for it in my life.

Having said that, I can definitely see the value in this app and I’m very impressed with the way in which the developer has tied everything together as it really makes for a powerful learning tool that should help you sharpen your Russian in no time at all.
