Works great with Russian! Would suggest to set the bot to communicate with the "T–V distinction"

for example instead of Ты (you singular) it should say вы (you plural)
Duolingo explains:
Russian makes a distinction between ты, singular "you", and вы, plural "you". The latter also doubles for "polite" you, with verbs also in plural. And don't forget that the "excuse" in "Excuse me" is a verb!
Use ты with friends and your family members
Use вы with adult strangers, your teachers and in other formal interactions (at the store, doctor's, airport etc.)
People use вы with those who are much older.
Nobody is "polite" toward kids.
