Learn Spanish the way your brain was meant to. Palteca uses teaching methods that are rooted in science, making it one of the most effective ways to quickly learn and speak Spanish. Unlike the majority of the language learning apps on the market today that try to offer a tiny bit of many languages, Palteca offers an in-depth learning experience for Spanish. --------------------------- THE PALTECA METHOD 1. WATCH REAL NATIVE SPEAKERS: Palteca uses Comprehensible Input (CI), giving you content that is entirely in Spanish spoken by real speakers in real conversations. Our curriculum is built to teach you the most important words first, and over the course of the following days/weeks, continue to reinforce these same words through repeated exposure. This makes remembering much easier 2. SPEAK FROM DAY 1: Get instant feedback so you can begin speaking confidently, while responding to real native Spanish speakers 3. TRAIN YOUR EARS: The sounds in Spanish are different from English and other languages. So we will teach you how to distinguish between similar-sounding words, giving you the ability to better listen to native speakers 4. LEARN HOW TO LEARN A LANGUAGE: Palteca starts by getting you ready to learn how to learn a language. Many people try to learn languages through apps, but grow bored and frustrated when they realize the method isn’t working. Palteca gives you the roadmap to Spanish fluency in and out of the app --------------------------- PALTECA FEATURES * Learn only useful vocabulary and phrases * Practice speaking with real-time feedback * Practice listening to real Spanish natives * Hundreds of activities from speaking, practicing numbers, sounds, and more * Listen to different accents --------------------------- PALTECA MEMBERSHIP A subscription is required to access Palteca.
