## Frequently asked questions

### How does Pingo help me learn Russian faster than other apps?

Pingo helps you improve faster because you're speaking Russian from the start. Instead of memorizing case tables or vocabulary lists, you have real conversations — ordering at a café in Moscow, asking for directions on the metro, chatting with your partner's family over late-night tea — get corrected in the moment, and come back to practice what tripped you up last time. That loop builds confidence faster because it matches how Russian actually gets used.

### Can beginners use Pingo to learn Russian?

Yes. Tell Pingo your goals and current level, and it builds a Russian learning plan around you. You'll start with the Cyrillic alphabet, greetings, numbers, and the difference between formal (вы) and casual (ты) speech through short, interactive conversations designed to get you speaking from day one. Pingo gives instant feedback on pronunciation, cases, and verb aspect so you build natural Russian habits from the start.

As you progress, conversational roleplay lets you practice real back-and-forth — ordering пельмени, asking for directions, chatting over tea at a friend's kitchen table. Pingo adapts to your pace, so early sessions stay manageable and rewarding.

### Is Pingo effective for advanced Russian learners?

Absolutely. Advanced learners can practice fast-paced debates, business Russian, storytelling, and the nuances of perfective vs. imperfective verbs and complex case usage. Pingo gives detailed feedback on register, idiom, and natural phrasing — helping you sound fluent in formal and casual settings alike.

### Do you offer a free trial and what does it include?

Yes! The free trial lets you try Pingo's real Russian conversations and personalized lessons so you can see how it works before subscribing.
