A simple, no stress, no frills, way to learning Spanish by using it. Read lyrics from popular music, classic poetry, and short stories. I could never stick to other language learning apps because I do not enjoy studying vocab. Then I discovered a method called "comprehensible input" where you immerse yourself into a language and acquire understanding over time. Other comprehensible input apps can cost over $100 a year, so I built this app to learn Spanish myself and share it with others. - No ads, - No login - No subscriptions - No in-app-purchases - No internet connection needed Don't have the funds to buy the app?
