Going to Mexico? Mexican Spanish has its own full course: 75 modules and 20 missions.
Learn Mexican SpanishBoth courses start with First Steps, then move into cafés and bars, hotels and getting around, markets and help. Fifteen tracks and 20 missions each go from ordering a coffee to dinner at a friend's home.
Real situations, one at a time.
20 missions, each in three stages: Get by, Go further and Like a local. A mission counts as achieved when you know the key language, understand it spoken, say it aloud and handle the conversation.
Missions
Order at a Spanish bar
From your first café con leche to Sunday vermut: you can order exactly what you want at a Spanish bar, understand the bartender at full speed and pay the way locals do, in Spanish.
Eat out in Spain
From 'una mesa para dos' to the last round of tapas: you can order a full meal, shape it to your needs, understand the camarero at normal speed and settle the bill, politely and in Spanish.
Stay at a hotel
Check in, get what you need during your stay and sort out problems, understanding what reception tells you, in Spanish.
Get around by train, metro and bus
Buy the right ticket, get on the right train, metro or bus, catch what the announcements say and find your way on foot, in Spanish.
Shop at a Spanish market
From your first ¿quién es el último?
Get help at a pharmacy
You can get something for common holiday problems, describe symptoms and allergies, understand how to take what you're given, and know when the pharmacist is telling you to see a doctor, go to urgencias or call 112.
Meet new people
From your first intercambio to a noisy terraza: you can introduce yourself, find common ground, follow a group talking over each other, and turn new acquaintances into plans.
Small talk with strangers
On trains, in lifts and on park benches: you can open a chat, keep it going with the right reactions, follow a local in full flow and leave on a warm note.

Three things about Spanish for a traveller.
Vosotros or ustedes
In Spain, friends and groups are usually "vosotros". In Mexico and across Latin America people say "ustedes". Each course teaches the one you will hear.
More than one language in Spain
Catalan, Basque, Galician and Valencian are co-official in their regions. Spanish works everywhere, and the notes say where a sign or menu will be in another language.
Street Spanish has its own track
A whole track covers how people actually talk, so the words you hear on the street are not a surprise.
Places the course has notes on.
Each note is a habit of that place, so you know what to expect where you are going.

About learning Spanish.
Which Spanish should I learn?
Pick the one for where you are going: Spanish (Spain) for Spain and the Canary and Balearic Islands, Mexican Spanish for Mexico. The two share most of their grammar and plenty of vocabulary. The differences are the "you" forms, some everyday words and the street language.
I am going somewhere else in Latin America. What should I choose?
Mexican Spanish is the closer of the two for most of Latin America.
Can I learn both?
Yes. You can enrol in more than one course and switch between them from the top of the app.
