RuHero: Your Path to Linguistic Mastery
RuHero is organized into four distinct tabs, each serving a specific role in your journey from a beginner to a linguistic hero.

1. Learn: The Foundation
The Learn tab is the core curriculum of the app, designed to build your structural knowledge of Russian from the ground up.
- Foundations: Master the Cyrillic Alphabet (33 letters) and unlock the "secrets" of Russian Cursive, which often differs significantly from printed text.
- Core Vocabulary: Access curated lists of the most frequently used words, plus specialized groups for Business Russian, Street Slang, and Idioms.
- Comprehensive Grammar: Dive into detailed rules for Gender and Plurals, Verb Tenses (Past, Present, and Future), and the Mastery of the 6 Cases for nouns, adjectives, and pronouns.
- Numerals & Time: Learn the logic behind Russian numbers and time-telling, including the complex "1-2-5" counting rules.

2. Immerse: Real-World Practice
The Immerse tab transitions you from theory to application through interactive multimedia content.
- Real Dialogues: Engage in interactive chat practices that simulate real-world conversations with native-like audio and translations.
- Reading Library: A graded library with stories ranging from A1 to C1 levels, featuring a "Karaoke" reading mode that highlights words as they are spoken.
- Speaking Lab: A dedicated "Shadowing" environment where you can listen to phrases, record your own voice, and compare your pronunciation to native speakers.
- Audio Stories: Focus on listening comprehension with audio-driven narratives designed to train your brain to recognize words instantly.

3. Practice: The Challenge
The Challenge tab (labeled "Practice") gamifies your learning to reinforce retention.
- Quiz Mode: A multiple-choice game designed to test your vocabulary and grammar in a high-speed environment.
- Writing Lab: Enhance your spelling and composition skills through translation-based writing exercises.
- Gender Lab: A specialized tool for fixing sentence structure and mastering the gender of Russian nouns.
- Terminal: A unique, tech-themed "data recovery" mode where you solve linguistic puzzles to "recover" lost information.

4. Tools: The Linguistic Suite
The Tools tab provides high-precision utilities to help you navigate the complexities of Russian independently.
- Dictionary: A global search tool allowing you to instantly look up over 2,000+ words in English or Russian across the entire curriculum.
- Verb Conjugator: A powerful logic engine where you can type any verb to immediately see its forms across different tenses and aspects.
- Declension Calculator: A high-accuracy calculator that shows the correct endings for any noun across all six cases.
- Root Dependency Graph: A visual explorer for the "System Core," showing how central roots like ХОД (Move) or УЧ (Learn) branch into entire families of related words.
