How do Russians say "I miss you"

Meet Skills 🇷🇺 Skills is our new section where you practice grammar rules in action 😏 How it works: — Do short tasks on one rule at a time — Made a mistake? We show it right away and explain why — We remember your mistakes and repeat the rule until you get it Here’s what one of our students wrote after the Cases topic:

“Cases and grammar have been a weak point in my Russian since I started. I like the immediate feedback on what I need to fix. It helps me understand on a deeper level and gives me more confidence”

🫰 Topics available now: 1. Verb conjugation 2. Past tense 3. Future tense 4. Cases 5. Noun gender 6. Verb aspects 7. Imperative (new!) We’ll add listening and speaking practice later

BeFluent 2.0 is here. We've been working on this update for months, and we're really happy to finally share it with you. Russian Step-by-Step is now interactive. In every lesson, we explain a rule and you practise it right after, then you review the new words. There are new tasks where you build phrases and short dialogues, and at the end of the lesson you can see all your answers and what you got wrong. Module 1 is already updated, the other modules will follow. We also added Skills, a new section in Exercises for grammar. You start with a short check, and we skip what you already know. If you make a mistake, you'll see why. For now there are five topics: present, past and future tense, cases and gender of nouns. You can see all of this, plus the other updates, in the video. Thanks for learning with us! What should we build next? Let us know in the comments. Watch the video Try BeFluent free for 3 days
