FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on practice, listening, dialogues, and data. If yours is missing, write to us.

01How do I check my Spanish pronunciation online?

Open Practice, allow the microphone, say a phrase. In a few seconds you get a mark for each sound and a teacher’s voice (Javier, Diego, Lucía, or Carmen). No sign-up.

02Which Spanish sounds give English speakers away most often?

The tap in pero (English speakers reach for an American r), the trill in perro, silent h in hola, ñ as one sound in niño, and stress that turns hablo into habló. Those are the usual starting points.

03Do I need to sign up?

No. On the site it works right away: open, record, hear the teacher. An account only helps if progress should stick across days; that lives in the app.

04How is this different from Duolingo and other apps?

Those teach words and grammar, then treat pronunciation as recognized or not. Here there is no vocabulary lesson. The page names the sound that still sounds English.

05Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Practice opens in a mobile browser. Microphone, recording, and feedback work the same way. Nothing to install.

06What if I have no idea how to pronounce rr?

Start from the tap in American “butter,” then add air so the tongue buzzes: perro, carro, Rosa. Don’t growl in the throat. In Practice the teacher says the sound alone so you can hear it against your version.

07Are Listening and Dialogues paid?

No. On the site, listening, all dialogues, and all phrases are free: no sign-up, no subscription. PRO is only in the mobile app.

08Do you store my audio recordings?

No. The clip is scored and then discarded. Details are in the privacy policy. For data questions, use the contact page.
