Real situations, not exercises
Order coffee, view a flat, practise a job interview or call in sick. Each conversation has a clear goal, with support at your level and room to try again.
Everything is built around you talking
Not flashcards with a voice bolted on. You hold conversations, and everything else — your notebook, your verb tables, your scores — comes out of them.

The toolkit
Around the conversations, the things that make them stick.
What you get
Speak
Practise the conversation
Before a beginner conversation, or any English one, you can rehearse it in about two minutes. The character’s lines are recorded in advance; you say one of the suggested answers or your own, your answer decides where the conversation goes, and each one is scored for pronunciation. Next to every suggested answer, 🔊 plays it and 🎤 lets you practise it first. Then have the same conversation live, with a character who answers whatever you say.
People who talk like where they're from
Barcelona uses vosotros, Mexico City ustedes, Buenos Aires full voseo. Québec tutoies you where Paris would not. You learn the language someone actually speaks, in one place, rather than an average of everywhere.
It starts where you are
A short conversation places you from A1 to C1 — no test, just talking. After that everyone speaks to you at your level: shorter sentences and one question at a time near the beginning, room to ramble later. If you are quiet, they slow down and offer you a choice instead of an open question.
A companion who knows where you left off
Tell her what you feel like doing and she takes you there. She remembers where you have been, asks how it went, and notices patterns you cannot see in yourself — like a verb form you never once use.
Walking tours, when you want a change
A guide walks you through a real neighbourhood a stop at a time — what the building is, who lived there, why anyone cares — and you talk about it as you go. Same practice, different shape, for the days when another errand is not what you need.
Reader mode: paste any text, read it aloud, scored
Bring your own text — an email, a menu, a page of a book — and read it aloud a sentence at a time. Each line comes back scored syllable by syllable. The text is never stored: it exists only while you read it.

Pronunciation scored syllable by syllable
Not a pass or a fail: which syllable went wrong, and what to do about it. Hear yourself next to a natural reference voice, and work on the specific sounds you keep missing.
Progress you can actually read
Every conversation is scored on what matters — did you get the task done, were you understood, did you recover when it went wrong — and plotted over time, so you can see the parts that are moving.
Grammar notes when you slip — Spanish, English, Portuguese
When a conversation shows you reaching for a form you do not have yet, a short note explains it with one example — the point you needed, when you needed it, not a lesson you did not ask for. Available for Spanish, English and Portuguese so far.
Remember
A notebook that fills itself
Tap any word you hear and it is saved with its meaning, examples and audio. Heard something out in the world instead? Look it up and keep that too. Words you have actually used are marked as yours.
Verb tables you can practise, not just read
Every tense, including the compound ones. Tap any form and the companion starts a short conversation whose answers need exactly that form — because nobody ever learned to speak by reading a table.
The 1,000 most common words, tappable
The thousand words that carry most everyday speech, ranked by how often they are actually used. Tap one to hear it, save it, or practise the next ten in a short review — so the words you meet in conversation are the ones worth keeping.
A map of what you can actually talk about
Twenty-one everyday domains — food, health, housing, work, transport, the phone company — each filled in by the words you have genuinely mastered, not the places you have visited. You can see at a glance that you could handle a pharmacy but would still struggle at the bank, and which level you have practised each one at.

There is no generic Spanish. Or French. Or Portuguese.
A bus is a colectivo in Buenos Aires, a pesero in Mexico City and a guagua in San Juan. Every language here splits the same way — Québec French is not Paris French, São Paulo Portuguese is not Lisbon Portuguese — and your local speaks the variety you chose. Spanish is where we have mapped it word by word:
| Meaning | 🇦🇷 Buenos Aires | 🇲🇽 Mexico City | 🇪🇸 Madrid | 🇵🇷 San Juan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| the bus | colectivo | pesero | autobús | guagua |
| a straw | sorbete | popote | pajita | sorbeto |
| popcorn | pochoclo | palomitas | palomitas | popcorn |
| dude | che | güey | tío | pana |
| money | guita | lana | pasta | chavos |
By country: 🇦🇷 Argentina · 🇨🇱 Chile · 🇨🇴 Colombia · 🇩🇴 Dominican Republic · 🇪🇸 Spain · 🇲🇽 Mexico · 🇵🇪 Peru · 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico
The locals
Listen to a character from Loquala, then try speaking in the app.
Oi! Tudo bem?
Bonjour ! Je vous écoute.
Siéntese nomás. ¿Sopa o caldo?
Karibu, my dear! What can I get you?Tap a city to hear how the locals actually talk.
Spanish · French · Portuguese · English — real regional dialects, not one generic voice per language. More languages and cities on the way.
Honest proof
Every meaning has a source
Every cell is backed by ASALE's Diccionario de americanismos, a national dictionary, or a native speaker who says where they're from. Where we couldn't source it, the cell stays blank.
Read by the people who would know
Our regional-vocabulary cards have been read 17,000+ times on r/Spanish and r/SpanishLearning — and corrected by natives, which is the point.
What it is not
It is speaking practice, not a course. There are short grammar notes when you slip, not grammar lessons, and it will not replace talking to real people — nothing does. What it gives you is somewhere to be bad at a language at two in the morning, with nobody's face changing.
