Unlike the mainstream language apps, that teach you random and useless BS. We teach you words and phrases that native speakers in a language say on a daily basis. We strive to teach the culture of a country rather than just the language, because NEWS FLASH! Spanish in Mexico is spoken differently than Spanish in Spain, wow., -Make your friends Laugh: By learning the swear words in another language you are almost guaranteed to make someone laugh when you can swear in their respective language! Let's be real, wether you like it or not, swear words are said every day, by everyone, all over the world! Might as well be able to express your true emotions in a few other languages. -Impress the Locals: By learning the street expression, not only will you impress people but you will gain the respect of the locals! We teach the slang greeting, goodbyes, and expressions that only native speakers of a language would know in their respective country. By learning their way of speaking you will for sure become way more respected by the people! -Our Goal: Breaking people out of their boring monolingual shells. There is so much hate and discrimination in the world right now. Here at CluelessGringo we believe that falling in love with another culture can help that. By introducing language learning in the FUNEST way possible! Once you feel the satisfaction of saying something in a different language and impressing someone for the first time. You will be inspired to learn more. Before you know it you will be trying the food from that country. All of a sudden you're trying to learn a dance from that culture. Then BOOM you've booked a plane ticket to this beautiful country with all the knowledge in your head to impress the locals and make people laugh. Ultimately enhancing your experience and broadening your perspective on this amazing thing we call life.
