Choose a contrast

Start with the pattern you want to train

Each round keeps one verb idea in the foreground so the build path stays easy to follow.

aspect Aspect pairs

Move through imperfective vs perfective targets in one tight round.

reflexive Reflexive verbs

Keep the reflexive layer visible instead of burying it in the ending.

selected stem Selected stems

Train the verbs where stem choice matters before the ending lands.

spelling Spelling rewrites

See where the spelling filter changes the final surface form.

Choose a verb

Jump straight into a useful pair

Pick a verb first when you want a tighter round that starts with one pair and then widens the mix.

учиться / научиться

Selected stem

to study / learn, to learn how / master
