First words

Ground zero. The sounds, a handful of survival phrases, and your first sentences about yourself.

  1. Day 1Basics15 minSurvival phrasesStart with the lines that rescue you anywhere: hello, thank you, I don't understand. Before any grammar at all, you can already walk into a shop.Your next step
  2. Day 2Sounds20 minHow it soundsSpanish reads the way it's written — but you have to see how, once. An hour here saves months of bad habits you can't undo later.Open
  3. Day 3Speaking15 minWho I amThe first thing anyone will ask: who you are and where you're from. Learn to talk about yourself before you learn anything else.Open
  4. Day 4Pattern15 minTwo ways to „be”You just said „soy” and „estoy”. Now see why Spanish has two verbs for „to be” — it's one choice that comes back in every sentence you'll ever build.Open
  5. Day 5Scenario20 minYour first coffeeYour first real context. A café is forgiving: a few lines, no hurry — and you walk out with a coffee you ordered yourself.Open
  6. Day 6Speaking15 minWant, must, needThree verbs that will handle half of everything you need in Spain. Hear them and repeat them first; you'll take them apart tomorrow.Open
  7. Day 7Practice15 minFirst week reviewEnd of week one — nothing new gets added. You go back over everything you've covered, in random order. This is the day you find out what actually stuck.Open

Everyday life

Food, shopping, prices — the situations you'll land in on day one.

  1. Day 8Pattern15 minVerb + infinitiveNow take „quiero” and „tengo que” apart into a frame: a verb of wanting or obligation, then a second verb in the infinitive. One pattern, dozens of sentences you build yourself.Open
  2. Day 9Scenario20 minAt the restaurantOrdering food is the conversation you'll have more than any other in Spain. You'll also meet the „menú del día” — and learn that nobody is rushing you.Open
  3. Day 10Speaking15 minI like itGo beyond ordering: say what you like, what you don't eat, and what you're in the mood for today.Open
  4. Day 11Pattern15 minMe gusta„Me gusta” looks innocent, but it works backwards from English — it isn't you who likes the thing, it's the thing that pleases you. See it now, while the restaurant lines are still fresh.Open
  5. Day 12Scenario20 minAt the bakeryA bakery is a short exchange with a lot of numbers in it: how many, please, how much. The perfect place to get comfortable with prices.Open
  6. Day 13Pattern15 minHay — there is / there are„Hay” covers „there is” and „there are” at once — one word for whatever exists somewhere. Without it you can't even ask whether they have something.Open
  7. Day 14Practice15 minSecond week reviewWeek two done — the first one where patterns and context mix. Find out whether the frames hold up away from the page you learned them on.Open
03

Around town

Movement, directions, numbers. Spanish on the move — and under pressure.

  1. Day 15Speaking15 minWhere it isWhere it is, how to get there, whether it's far. Before you get into a taxi or the metro, learn to ask the way.Open
  2. Day 16Scenario20 minBy taxiThe first situation where you have to speak under pressure: give the address, settle the price, and get out where you meant to.Open
  3. Day 17Speaking15 minNumbers and timeNumbers aren't decoration — they're prices, times, and platform numbers. The one part of Spanish you genuinely need as a reflex.Open
  4. Day 18Pattern15 minMuch, little, too much„Muy” or „mucho” — the question every beginner trips on. Settle it now, once and for all, while you've just been counting money and minutes.Open
  5. Day 19Scenario20 minMorningsA morning is your ordinary day told in Spanish: I get up, I wash, I leave. The plainest day there is — and you still can't describe it.Open
  6. Day 20Speaking15 minTravellingStation, airport, hotel — the lines you reach for when something goes wrong and there's no time left to think.Open
  7. Day 21Pattern15 minSaying noNo, never, not yet, me neither. Spanish happily puts two negatives in one sentence — and that's exactly what's correct.Open
  8. Day 22Practice15 minThird week reviewThe material has got dense. Stop and shuffle it all instead of pushing on — a review is worth more right now than one more new lesson.Open
04

Conversation

From transactions to conversation: questions, reactions, opinions of your own.

  1. Day 23Speaking15 minQuestionsSo far you've mostly been answering. Now flip it and learn to ask — the one asking is the one steering the conversation.Open
  2. Day 24Scenario20 minSmall talkA conversation with no purpose is the hardest one there is, because you can't predict it or prepare for it. That's why it comes only now.Open
  3. Day 25Speaking15 minSomething to sayReady-made lines to reach for when the conversation stalls and you can feel that you have to say something.Open
  4. Day 26Pattern15 minDescribingDescribe a person, a place, a thing. The adjective goes after the noun and agrees with it in gender and number — the exact opposite of what English suggests.Open
  5. Day 27Scenario20 minThe weatherThe safest topic in the world, and the most common excuse to say something to a stranger.Open
  6. Day 28Speaking15 minReacting„Really?”, „what a shame”, „of course”. Reactions are what make you sound like someone having a conversation, not someone translating in their head.Open
  7. Day 29Pattern15 minComparisonsBetter, worse, cheaper than. Comparison is the last frame you were missing in order to say what you think — not just what you see.Open
  8. Day 30Practice15 minDay thirtyNothing new — one mixed session drawn from everything you've covered. This isn't an exam, it's proof: you speak Spanish.Open

„Day” means step, not date. Nothing here expires and nothing is locked — come back after two weeks and the path is exactly where you left it.
