User reviews

Best app I’ve used!

If you know anything about language learning, then you’ve probably heard of comprehensible input. Palteca is a gentle introduction to CI and, in my opinion, it’s leagues above apps like Duolingo and Babbel. Palteca uses short, engaging, and comprehensible videos using different native speakers to teach important phrases. It’s a great complement to other tools like Dreaming Spanish and I use it primarily when I’m bored with only watching videos and need something a little more interactive to keep me going. Aesthetically, I find it much prettier than other apps. I also really appreciate how the vocabulary flash cards rely on you assigning an image to the words you select. This is a far superior method than having direct translations in English if your goal is to think and speak in Spanish with speed and fluency. My only complaint with Palteca is that they don’t offer a Family Plan.

It’s not pay to win

I was so anxious and annoyed at all the other apps being pay to win when I just wanna speak another language…so glad this is free!!

Mandatory subscription

It’s a wonderful concept and I think it really works better than Duolingo at teaching Spanish, but you only geta few days and then you HAVE to pay for the subscription in order to get any use from the app.

THIS IS SO FUN!!’

I’m learning spanish for an LDS mission, and using this has been super helpful and fun!!! It’s much better than duolingo because I’m not translating words in my head, and instead, I’m learning them like I did english! The little mini lessons about certain words or culture is also super engaging and super cute!!! 10/10 no notes!!

Not enough lessons

This app has been helpful but I paid for a year subscription, only to run out of lessons 5.5 months in after doing one lesson per day. I think they should at least have enough lessons to do one every day for a year if I’m locked into a year subscription
