We adore foreign languages, and we are always pleased to see how different languages share words. We also believe that international words (cognates) make it easier for beginners to learn Russian letters. This is why we are collecting international words. For now, we have lists of international words in the languages listed below. If you have more words to add, please don't hesitate to contact us at irina.kataeva@internet.ru. We will be glad to extend our collection.
