Good morning! What can I get you?

What would you say?

Good morning. Could you give me half a kilo of strawberries and two mangoes, please?

Hi. I'd like a kilo of bananas, please.

Two apples, please.

“I have learnt more Spanish here in one month than I did with other apps in two years. The radio -> story -> lesson pattern is incredible.”

“I got this app about a month ago before I went to Mexico and I've been using it to just learn general phrases while I've been traveling around the place. I have used Duolingo when other language apps in the past for different countries but [it] gets straight to the point it gives me exactly what I need to learn so I can get by and have conversations with locals”

“You might have learned Spanish at school or on an app, but try showing up at a local party in Mexico and understanding everything being said. Nearly impossible! The reason? Slang. There's a lot of it, and to make things even trickier, many words change meaning depending on context or subtle grammatical cues. That's where this app comes in. It's the first one designed specifically to tackle the complexities of Mexican slang. A must-have for anyone travelling to Mexico, this app helps you sound like a local and truly connect with people.”

“Learning Spanish can be very frustrating because you start seeing progress, then you sit with a Mexican and don't understand anything. [This app] is the only real way I've found to learn down to earth usable Mexican Spanish. The interface is so slick and it it a breeze to use.”

“Story mode is incredible and it's my favourite part of the app. It's not just text-based so you get to actually speak with the app which gives you a more comprehensive understanding of your own skill. The conversation topics are interesting and there's new ones coming out on a regular basis. App UX is slick and fast. 10/10 recommend [it] if you're ever travelling to Mexico, or if you want to surprise your Mexican friends/family with some new words!”

“This is THE app for me to learn Mexican Spanish. I am using it since a few months now and on my last trip to Mexico and I was able to detect so many expressions in real conversations. I used other Spanish learning apps for years, but was never able to understand too much. [It] has given me a real boost and I am intending to practise more with it. The stories and quizzes are hilarious and keep me entertained while discovering new words/meanings. What an absolutely great tool! Also recommending it to all my friends. Thank you team. 🫶”

“I've used a lot of language apps before, and let's not trick ourselves, nobody has learned a language solely by using those. This one has a nice caveat, teaching actual useful and fun daily language, and it achieves this in a great way. Instead stuff like "the green owl thinks the moon is made of cheese", it teaches you how to call out this bullshit. I've been saying the stuff I learned here to Spanish speakers I meet and it always guarantees I have a good time and make friends. The app itself is designed elegantly, there's a lot of insight behind it. Clearly designed by people who has used other apps before and realized what they're lacking. Aquí se aprende y no mamadas.”

“Really enjoying learning the slang aspects of Mexican Spanish. I get frustrated at other apps teaching me stuff like "turtle". It's more fun to start with things that I can pull out in a bar and make people laugh. Really love how the app uses modern AI too. It's been really reliable for me and definitely helps keep interest. Definitely recommend.”

“Slang is a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture. As a Mexican myself, it's hard to keep up with all the slang, but this app really elevates your street game and can really improve your experience when in Mexico and Latin America. 100% recommend!”
