Is there a way of changing the time of the delivery. Right now it’s 1pm but I would rather to have it in the morning?
Learn Russian Words says:
Hello Yuja,
Thanks for the question.
At the moment, there is no such option. It is not easy to implement but possible, just takes time and quite a bit of additional development.
I wonder how many of our readers would like that. Maybe what we can do first is a poll where our readers can vote for future features, and include this feature in this poll.
Stay tuned to our updates so you can vote for this and maybe other features. 🙂

I haven’t learned cyrillic yet. Do the words all come with latin letter translations in the pronunciation?
