The Spanish you'll actually use

The sentences your week in Spain is made of. These are the ones we practise.

  • At the market ¿Me pone un kilo? Can I have a kilo?
  • At the bar ¿Me cobras cuando puedas? Can I pay when you have a moment?
  • With the landlord Se ha roto el calentador. The water heater's broken.
  • At the doctor's Me duele aquí desde el lunes. It's hurt here since Monday.
  • With the neighbours ¿Os apetece tomar algo el sábado? Fancy a drink on Saturday?
  • At the town hall Vengo a empadronarme. I'm here to register my address.

this is me

Hola, I'm Joe.

I live in Valencia. I learned Spanish as an adult, so I know exactly where it gets stuck: you understand far more than you can say, and the words you worked hard for last month have gone by this one.

So I built Soltura: an AI tutor you text and talk with in Spanish, about your real life. It remembers every word you've met and brings each one back just before you'd forget it.

And every week, you and I talk. A real person who knows your goals, hears where you hesitate, and keeps you going.

how it works

Three things, every week

  1. 1

    A free call with me

    We talk about your life here, where your Spanish gets stuck, and what you want to be able to say. You leave with a plan, whether you join or not.

  2. 2

    A little practice every day

    Text or talk with your AI tutor about your day, your plans, your landlord. It corrects you gently, whenever suits you.

  3. 3

    A call with me every week

    We go over what tripped you up, practise it out loud, and I choose what your tutor teaches you next.

Built on memory science

Every word comes back just before you'd forget it. That's spaced repetition, one of the best-tested findings in memory research, working quietly inside real conversations instead of flashcards.

¿hablamos?

Let's find where your Spanish is stuck.
