Quilly: Write Russian

Learn to write Russian the fun way with Quilly, your little feathered writing coach! Quilly: Write Russian helps beginners master the Russian alphabet (русский алфавит), also called Cyrillic, with real handwriting recognition, guided stroke order lessons, and quick tests that make every letter stick.

Whether you are traveling to Russia or Eastern Europe, talking with family and friends, preparing for a Russian course, or learning Russian for school or work, writing by hand is one of the best ways to remember letters. Draw on your screen, follow the stroke order, and get instant feedback from Quilly.

WHY WRITE RUSSIAN BY HAND?
Cyrillic looks tricky at first, and some letters look like English letters but sound different, such as В, Н, Р, and С. Writing each letter stroke by stroke helps you see, feel, and remember the right shapes and sounds. Quilly teaches the correct stroke order and direction from day one, so your Russian handwriting looks natural and neat.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
• All 33 letters of the Russian alphabet, uppercase and lowercase
• Vowels (гласные), consonants (согласные), and the hard and soft signs ъ and ь
• Correct stroke order and direction for every letter
• Letters that look like English but sound different: В, Н, Р, С, У, Х
• Look-alike letters such as ш / щ, и / й, б / в, and ь / ъ
• Clear native Russian audio and transliteration support
