Первый Разговор

Learning a new language can be challenging — that's exactly why we built Lingua Bud. Use these tips to make your first conversation a success. If you want to visit our Russian Hub page, click here.

• 💬 Follow the conversation below and say each phrase slowly if necessary — there's no rush!
• 🔄 Ask your Lingua Bud to repeat a phrase if you didn't understand it.
• 🎤 Ask your Lingua Bud if you can record your conversation and listen back to it later.
• 📅 Set up a schedule to practice as much as possible. We suggest 10 minutes a day to start — 5 minutes in English and 5 minutes in Russian.
• 😄 Don't worry about making mistakes or having a strong accent. Everyone has to start somewhere!
• 🤝 Encourage your partner to keep going and give constructive feedback. Support each other.

Use this conversation as a guide with your Lingua Bud. Take turns saying each line — one person in Russian, the other in English, then switch!
