First, what’s Alexa? Alexa is Amazon’s cloud-based voice service. You can talk to Amazon Alexa on your device. With Alexa, you can ask her to play music, hear the news, check weather, control smart home devices, and yes, you can even learn a language.

This is where you start understanding Russian. You can also practice speaking Russian by repeating what you hear.
