Back then, conjugating even in the present tense was a struggle. We couldn't find a decent training app, so we created ConjuGato! Using it greatly improved our own conjugation skills, and it has since helped thousands of other app users – check out all those 5-star reviews! New in ConjuGato v3: alongside verb conjugation, you can now practice the Spanish subjunctive, tricky noun genders, por vs. para, and ser vs. estar through the extra quizzes. Each quiz includes a concise grammar guide and carefully chosen example sentences. We write, review, and proofread every explanation by hand, so the new material should be useful without overwhelming you with theory. ConjuGato is free for the first two tenses and 250 of the most popular verbs. If you need more advanced practice, there’s an affordable one-time upgrade that unlocks everything in the app forever.

Jiveworld fills a crucial gap for intermediate-level and above language learners who've hit the "sound barrier" — where the language you've learned in the classroom doesn't resemble what you actually hear at street level. Jiveworld Español uses engaging stories from Radio Ambulante, an award winning podcast with interviewees from across Latin America and Spanish-speaking communities beyond. Jiveworld English features stories from the biggest names in radio and podcasting in the United States, including This American Life, Radiolab, The Truth, and The Moth. The stories are broken into chapters and paired with the patented Jiveworld player which provides help and guidance when you need it, and gets out of the way when you don't. Only have a few minutes a day? Try Soundbites. These mini lessons pose a question or challenge based on an audio excerpt from a full story. When you're done listening, tap reveal to check the answer and show deeper insights into the challenge. Soundbites go far beyond the dictionary, exploring the language and culture across eight dimensions: Idioms & Sayings, Speech & Accents, Useful Patterns, Vernacular & Slang, Strategies, Grammar, Vocabulary, and History & Culture. Jiveworld offers you help as you listen, with speed controls, vocabulary, and notes about language and the cultural context. But the real magic lies in some unique features: • Story Scaffolding — stories organized into chapters and passages, with succinct guides that help you follow the plot • X-Ray Script — follow the script while you listen, but only show the most difficult words • Smart Pause — ensures you always listen in complete sentences, without stop-start in unnatural places • Study Flow — after you complete a chapter in Study mode, re-listen in Natural Listen mode to reinforce the authentic sounds of the language • Vocabulary Review — master the new words and phrases you encounter with a unique ears-first story-based review workflow • Deep Insights — many stories feature Soundbite challenges, focusing on an aspect of language or culture, presented before the chapter you're about to study • Idiom to Idiom — wherever you see a translation, you'll see the most natural expression in both languages, showing you how your target language really works. By studying regularly with Jiveworld, you'll be able to engage in real conversations with any native speaker.
