Letters Ц to Я
Я я
ya
One spelling, two words.
Russian writes за́мок, a castle, and замо́к, a lock, the same way. Only the stress tells them apart. Lymi keeps each as its own card, with its own stress and its own sound.
за́мок: Castle, замо́к: Lock, му́ка: Torment, мука́: Flour, пла́чу: I cry, плачу́: I pay
The mark leaves as you learn.
A card shows its stress mark until you know the word, then the word as books print it. Each time you remember it, Lymi waits a little longer before showing it again. Turning the card over always shows the mark.

Hear where the stress falls.
A native Russian AI voice reads every card and stresses the syllable the mark shows, so за́мок and замо́к sound different. If a card has its own recording, that plays instead.
Learning is more fun together.
Review a deck with your class, your tutor or a friend. One of you adds the words after each lesson and shares a link, and everyone reviews on their own schedule.

Questions before you start.
- Does Lymi show where the stress falls?
Yes. A card shows its word with a stress mark until the card is Known, then the word as books print it. Turning a card over always shows the mark, and the examples on your cards keep theirs.
- What about words spelled the same?
Each stress is its own word. за́мок, a castle, and замо́к, a lock, are two cards, each with its own stress and its own sound.
- What about ё?
Books often print ё as е. Add ежик from such a book and Lymi shows ёжик on the card until you know it, the dots marking the stress as an accent would.
- What does a card ask me?
One way at a time: the Russian for its meaning, or the meaning for the Russian. You think of the answer, turn the card over and say how well you knew it. There’s nothing to type.
- Can I bring my Anki deck?
Yes. Cards keep their schedule and their word recordings.
- Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Lymi runs in the browser on your phone and your computer, and you can add it to your home screen. Your cards and progress are the same on both.
- What does it cost?
Nothing. Lymi is free to use.
