Spanish speakers.

Free to start. No textbook. No streak shame.
Built for Spanish speakers
Tuned to how Spanish speakers actually learn English.
Spanish translations everywhere
Every challenge, definition, example sentence, and grammar note carries a Spanish translation written by native Spanish editors.
Audio you can copy
Native English audio at natural speed, with a slow-mo replay built for accent practice. Hear it, copy it, repeat it.
Pitfalls Spanish speakers really hit
False friends, silent letters, the H sound, the I versus EE distinction. The feed surfaces these on purpose, in the right order.
Miss a week, keep your progress
The Leitner box quietly catches you back up. Built for adults with jobs, not children with parents.

Watch out
The traps Spanish speakers usually fall into.
False friends, missing sounds, and the patterns school never warned you about.
Embarazada means pregnant. Embarrassed is avergonzado.
Suceso means event, not success. Success is éxito.
Spanish sensible means sensitive. English sensible means reasonable.
Actualmente means currently. Actually is en realidad.
Librería is a bookshop. A library is una biblioteca.

Where to start
Pick a starting level that matches your reality.
We suggest A2 for most Spanish speakers.
Most Spanish speakers start comfortably at A2 thanks to shared Latin roots. If school English never quite stuck, A2 is the right reset.
How it works
Built for the way memory actually works.
Learn the phrase the way it's actually said.
Every challenge is a 3 to 15 second cut from a real show, news clip, or talk. You hear the rhythm, the stress, and the face behind the words.
An algorithm that times every clip.
An invisible Leitner box runs in the background. Each word comes back at the moment you're about to forget it. Fifty years of memory research, one tap.
Native audio, full speed and slow.
Every word has full-speed and slow-mo native audio. Tap once to copy the pronunciation the way a native actually says it.
Twelve native languages.
Definitions, examples, and grammar notes translate into your native language. Switch any time.
