Solvelingua
Early preview

Loosen your tongue.

A life sim where you learn Spanish by living in Mexico City, one conversation at a time.

A new life, in Spanish

You arrive with a suitcase and 500 pesos. Everything else, from breakfast to a job to friends, happens in Spanish.

Talk with locals who remember you

Speak or type to everyone in town. The baker, your landlord and your neighbor remember what you told them yesterday, and they slow down when you ask.

Real conversation, where you have to be understood, is one of the best-supported ways to learn a language.

Feedback after a conversation with Don Ramón

Feedback after every conversation

Nobody stops you mid-sentence. Afterward you see what you got right, what to fix and what to try next time, and each evening's diary rounds up the patterns.

Corrective feedback reliably improves accuracy, and saving it until after keeps conversation flowing.

Every word you meet, kept

Tap any word to hear it and see what it means. It goes into your collection, and the words you've met keep coming back in conversations and messages.

Looking words up in context helps comprehension, and recalling them again in use is what makes them stick.

A lesson with Maestra Rocío at the community center

Free classes, if you want them

Maestra Rocío teaches at the community center. Lessons adapt to your level and to the mistakes you've been making around town.

Short, explicit grammar lessons produce large, lasting gains alongside real use.

And a whole life to live

Jobs

Work at the bakery or the café, each with the words that job really uses.

Texts and voice notes

Your neighbors message you. Reply in writing or send a voice note.

A phone translator

For when you're stuck. Try first, then check.

A home to make yours

Rent an apartment and decorate it, naming everything as you go.

A pet

Adopt one and train it with commands in Spanish.

Hobbies and the city

Ride an Ecobici down Reforma, jog in the park, find the best street food.

Built on research

Every system in Solvelingua comes from decades of research on how people actually learn languages: comprehensible input, conversation, feedback, vocabulary review and learning by doing.

Solvelingua is in early preview. The name comes from the Latin solvere linguam, to loosen the tongue: start talking, and the language follows.
