Carpi: Speak & learn Spanish

You land in Buenos Aires, Mexico City or Madrid, and the Spanish you learned doesn't sound like the Spanish around you. Carpincho teaches the one you'll actually hear — and it walks you through it in order. THE ROUTE Seventy-five places, one street. A café where you greet, sit down, order, ask the waiter and pay. A kiosk, a market, a bus stop, a pharmacy, a phone call. Each stop is one thing you can do afterwards, and you leave it before it gets long. No levels. No streaks. No percentage bars. You move along the street because the next place is where you're going. THE MOMENT THEY SWITCH TO ENGLISH Seventy-one of the sentences are the ones coming at you, not the ones you say. "Para acá o para llevar?" "Se lo caliento?" Most apps teach you to speak. Almost none teach you to understand the answer. Eighteen more are for the second you didn't catch it. "Cómo?" "Me lo repetís?" That's the second where someone switches to English — or doesn't. SPEAKING, GRADED HONESTLY Record a sentence and you get an answer, not a score: understood, borderline, or not yet — plus the two or three words that were weakest. A number tells you nothing about whether it would have worked. THREE KINDS OF SPANISH, ALL EQUAL Argentina and Uruguay, Latin America in general, or Spain. Every word and every sentence is spoken in all three, by three different voices. La palta or el aguacate. Vos podés or tú puedes. You pick, and you can change it anytime. WHAT ELSE IS IN IT Around a thousand words and sentences, chosen for daily life rather than frequency lists. Dictation at three speeds, for the sentences that arrive as one blurred block. Conjugation as whole tables, because the pattern is the thing to learn. Branching scenes where the conversation goes wrong and you repair it. No account needed. Nothing to sign up for. Learn less. Say more.
