Master Spanish verbs your way — with Autopilot, guided lessons, flashcards, and quizzes you build yourself. Nacho Verbs helps you learn Spanish verb conjugations whether you're just starting out or already navigating the subjunctive. Practice 2,000+ verbs across 19 tenses with full control over what you study. LEARN WITH AUTOPILOT Autopilot is an adaptive learning mode that decides what you review and when, based on how well you know each verb form. Choose your daily pace (3, 5, or 10 new cards), learn by verb or by tense, and track your progress with a monthly grid and streak. Pause new cards anytime to clear your backlog. HEAR IT, SEE IT Every quiz answer comes with native pronunciation audio, so you don't just see the correct form — you hear it. And every question now shows a Visual Tense Card, with a cue and pronoun scene that make the tense instantly clear, no more guessing from a text label. LEARN THROUGH GUIDED LESSONS Each lesson covers one piece of Spanish grammar and explains it through your own language. After it, a practice set runs you through the same material. A short recap at the end goes back to the forms you struggled with. Lessons are designed by native linguists who adapt explanations to the structure and nuances of your language. MEMORIZE VERBS WITH FLASHCARDS Every lesson introduces new verbs, and each one comes with a flashcard. You see the word in your language and type the Spanish verb. The more lessons you go through, the bigger your vocabulary gets.

About

SayPlay

Features
Read full description

SayPlay is a private, on-device speech development tracker for parents and caregivers of young children. Tap record for 15 minutes a day. SayPlay listens, transcribes on-device, and quietly builds a picture of your child's vocabulary, talk-time, and developmental milestones. Nothing is ever uploaded. WHAT SAYPLAY DOES • Captures short audio sessions and transcribes them on-device using Apple's Speech framework. Audio and transcripts never leave your phone. • Tracks unique vocabulary against age-appropriate CDI norms (50% production age, currently English). • Logs CDC-style developmental milestones across language, social, emotional, and cognitive domains. • Celebrates first words with a shareable card you decide whether to share. • Surfaces talk-time trends, mean length of utterance, and tone mix per session. • Offers gentle Play activities — short, age-tuned prompts you hand the phone to your child for. • Filters non-target voices once you enroll your child's voice profile (three short clips, on-device only). PRIVACY BY DESIGN • 100% on-device speech recognition. SayPlay refuses to start if on-device dictation isn't available on your device — it will never silently fall back to Apple's servers. • No analytics. No tracking. No account. No login. No network requests. • Research export is opt-in, anonymized (name and birth date stripped), gated by a parental check, and saved to a file you control. • Wiping data is permanent and instant, also gated by a parental check. DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES • Warm, kid-friendly visuals — but built to clinical seriousness. Milestone framing matches CDC "Learn the Signs. Act Early." domain language. • Optional multi-child profiles. • Locale-aware: switches recognition to the child's home language where on-device support exists. • Accessible: VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type, high-contrast colors. WHO IT'S FOR • Parents who want a longitudinal view of their child's words without uploading audio anywhere. • Speech-language pathologists and early-intervention clinicians looking for a parent-friendly bridge to milestone screening. • Researchers running ecologically valid speech development studies (with consenting families). WHAT SAYPLAY ISN'T SayPlay isn't a diagnostic tool. It surfaces patterns and prompts conversations with your pediatrician — it doesn't replace one.
