🇵🇷 San Juan · Spanish

Learn Puerto Rican Spanish in San Juan — Caribbean rhythm included

Join the waitlist Conversation first — the flashcards write themselves.

Caribbean Spanish drops consonants, speeds up, and swings — and no app teaches it, because it's easier to pretend all Spanish sounds like a newsreader. Carmen's restaurant in Old San Juan teaches the Spanish people actually speak on the island: ustedes everywhere, «brutal» as the highest praise, and a cafecito that's non-negotiable.

How San Juan actually talks

¿Qué es la que hay?What's up?
Un cafecito, porfaA little coffee, please
¡Está brutal!It's amazing!

What you'll pick up

  • «Ustedes» only — no vosotros, like all of Latin America
  • Caribbean sound changes (the softened final -s, the r that leans toward l) tuned into our pronunciation coaching
  • Island vocabulary: cafecito, mofongo, parcha, «¿qué es la que hay?»

Carmen is waiting for you.
