I built a free, ad-free Spanish learning app to practice real conversations
Hey fellow Spanish learners!
I’m a computer science student and I’m also learning Spanish. While studying, I tried a bunch of different apps, but many of them had too many paywalls, were too expensive, or didn’t let me practice in the way I wanted to.
So I decided to build a small side project myself: an app called no entiendo.
The idea is to practice Spanish through realistic everyday scenarios, like ordering a coffee, making a hotel reservation, asking for directions, using public transport, etc. In each scenario, you chat with an AI character and can reply by text or voice. You can make mistakes, try to complete the situation naturally, and then get feedback afterward.
The app also has a vocabulary trainer with pre-built word lists by topic and level. You can add your own words too, or save useful words and phrases from the scenarios and review them later with spaced repetition.
Right now, the app is completely free and has no ads. I’m a student, so I can’t promise it will stay that way forever if usage and costs grow, but for now it’s free and ad-free.
I’d really love to get feedback from other Spanish learners:
- What features would make it more helpful?
- Did anything feel confusing?
- Did you run into any issues?
- Would you actually use something like this?
If anyone wants to try it, here’s the link:
Thanks, and good luck with your Spanish learning! :)
