Trust & quick outcomes

In a few weeks of short daily practice, you can:

Short, focused sessions keep Spanish moving without burnout.

Stop “recognizing but not remembering”

Spaced repetition brings words back right before you forget them.

Speak faster

Train recall, not just reading, so phrases come out automatically.

Why Spanish feels easy… until it doesn’t

Spanish is friendly at the start. Then you hit the stuff that slows everyone down:

Vocabulary and recall make the biggest difference once grammar starts to pile up.

  • • ser vs estar (two “to be” verbs with different logic)
  • • Spanglish influence and borrowing from English in day-to-day speech.
  • • Different preferred words across communities (for example, carro/coche/auto).
  • • Fast regional accents across U.S. Hispanic communities.
  • • regional variations (the United States vs Latin America; tú/usted, and sometimes vos)
My Lingua Cards focuses on what moves you fastest

Automatic, retrievable vocabulary in context – so grammar explanations actually become usable in speech.

How My Lingua Cards works

Spanish that sticks because you hear it, say it, and review it.

Learn with “mini-dictionary” flashcards

Each card is more than word → translation: you get audio, helpful notes, and example sentences so you learn meaning and usage.

Spaced repetition schedules the reviews for you

You don’t build a plan manually. The app decides what you review today and what can wait, so your Spanish grows without chaos.

Train both directions (recognition → recall)

You start in a comfortable mode (Spanish → your language), then unlock reverse practice (your language → Spanish) to build active speaking ability.

  • • daily life (shopping, schedules, health, services)
  • • work basics (messages, meetings, common verbs and phrases)
Pronunciation that matters (without overthinking it)

You’ll get audio on every card so you can train:
