Sound familiar?
Most dictionaries are built for translators, not for someone who just wants to talk. So you drown in words you'll never need and never find the ones you will. This is the opposite: organised by real life, ready to speak.
What you'll get
By the time you close it, you'll be able to:
1,000 high-frequency words & phrases, grouped by everyday theme.
A Latin transcription for every entry — read it before you can read Cyrillic.
Find what you need by situation: food, family, travel, feelings…
A reference you'll actually keep open while you learn.
Who it's for
- ✓Beginners who want useful vocabulary fast.
- ✓Anyone learning Russian for real conversations, not exams.
- ✓Readers of the e-book who want more words to play with.

Who's teaching you
Hi, I'm Liza.
I grew up speaking Russian in Belarus and have taught foreigners for 5+ years. I wrote this because my students kept asking me the same things - so I put the answers in plain English, the way I'd explain them to a friend. No Soviet textbook, no jargon. Just the simple way in.
