Popugai Кеша
What it is
A reading-aloud drill named after Кеша the parrot. A card shows a word in Cyrillic, the app reads it out, and you say it back into the mic (or type it if your browser can't listen). Progress moves through a simple spaced-repetition ladder, and a custom-phrases tab turns your own English phrases into natural colloquial Russian so you can practice the things you'd actually say.
Why I built it
I'm relearning to read Russian as a heritage speaker, and I wanted something I could share with others in the same position: a link you can send to family, not an app install you have to talk someone through. Companion to the Parrot Android project.
